"Miller High Life" (Woman In The Moon) Vintage Tip Tray. American, Circa 1940's

About the Item

Fabulous near mint condition post war vintage metal tip tray (hardly used) with compelling subject matter (patriotic woman seated on a crescent moon with clouds passing by dressed in red, white, and blue while toasting a beer in a glass; in gorgeous crisp colors of a blue background sky with accent stars; and black stenciled floral border on gold background. The back is painted in black. Lithographed in red letters and gold "Miller" "High Life" and at the bottom "The Champagne of Bottle Beer" in light blue letters. A very hard to find advertising item this would be for the connoisseur of fine quality vintage promotional barroom "sin" signage. Dimensions: 6 1/2" wide x 4 1/2" high Provenance: I guarantee the authenticity of this tray. It is from my own personal collection of Fine Quality Saloon and Americana memorabilia. Please see other items I have listed in this genre.

Victorian Porcelain Spittoon, circa 1880 by Imari, Japan
Located in Incline Village, NV
The mark on the underneath (see image) indicates that this spittoon is of Japanese Imari porcelain, manufactured circa 1880, and made specifically for the American market for the preponderance of bars and saloons at that time. These were popular from 1865 to the turn of the century; this is a particularly fancy and elaborate example. Note the copious and highly detailed and beautiful floral decoration to the inside of the upper portion of the spittoon; pretty fancy for something meant for spit and saliva! Fantastic and all original condition with no cracks, no chips and very bright paint in sharp colors of blue rust and pink, and meticulously painted in a floral pattern. Several of these would have been “stationed” in strategic places within a saloon. This is a wonderful piece of porcelain, and quality item of saloon and Western United States history...
