They are bigger than yours and I think they came in several sizes. But I think yours could be from way earlier than the 80s. All her friends were making them when I was in jr. high and high school--late 60s to early 70s! I can't imagine every giving hers to goodwill! This was a great find for you and I'm glad it found a happy home!

That one could ...I love those little ceramic trees. That one could even go back to the 60s. They were really popular with the ceramics classes, adult community college night school and such. <br /><br />Looks like the one you have in the photo is more a Thanksgiving tree with fruits and vegetables. <br /><br />I picked up a big one a few years back. Wanted a nice shape with a good color plus the foamy snow glaze. Got one and then a separate base. I have more than one base, one is for a music box and I want to set that up. I have the star and the "ornaments" for the holes, just have to put it together. I will admit the small ones are very cute. I think I might have a small one somewhere I got around the same time to use at work. I do recall they discontinued the large classic stars in yellow and that was the hardest to find. They had every color but yellow. Or you could get yellow but in the more modern pointy style. The ornaments are quite varied: angels, birds, flowers, balls from smooth to textured, plus the pointy cone shaped all in a multitude of colors. <br /><br />I made a halloween one. I got a small tree, about your size, spray painted it black, painted the base orange, then put orange "ornaments" in all of the holes. Instant Halloween tree. <br /><br />Ooops. Sorry, to give you ideas. You could do easter with the birds and flowers and a white tree, Valentine's with a white tree and red ornaments, St. Patrick's.......mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161712254926360234.post-21419312917313616472017-09-20T11:07:59.033-04:002017-09-20T11:07:59.033-04:00I have a big, nice one like this.
