Help identifying a mushroom tea and creamer set
« on: January 28, 2013, 09:00:32 AM »
 Hello, I have a molded tea set complete with creamer and sugar and mushroom tea cup holder with hooks under the mushroom cap.
I believe the Atlantic mold company could be original creators but could not verify.  I have posted a link to a similar image of the creamer below... Any help would be great
Thanks

It's alive, but really quiet. Is there anyway you could post more pictures. I'm curious about the cupholder (not that I could help identify anything or anyone).

Hi Kim and welcome to the board, we're alive but not a busy board, but do respond when someone posts. :)

I'm not familiar with this pattern at all but let's see if anyone else is.

Arnel's Pottery, Beaverton, Oregon made lots of mushroom patterned pottery.  Found when googling images.  Also other similar pieces made in Japan in the 1970s.

Wow they really did a lot of mushroom molds, and very detailed.  My set actually says Atlantic Mold on the bottom of the tea cup holder (the rest of the collection is blank on the bottom) It seems that several mold companies used a very similar pattern for the mushrooms.  Is it that these companies bought each others mold or is it common for pottery companies to borrow popular mold ideas

Nicely shaped mugs. Could we see the bottom of the holder please? And it just smacks of the '70's.
