Bussa Photography and Artistic Framing, 332 Dekalb Street Norristown, photographed this wonderful, early picture of Washington&#39;s Headquarters and the train station at Valley Forge.  Look how light the vegetation was around the creek.  It is not dated, but it has been colorized.  The signature almost looks like Bussy, but the sticker on the back clearly shows the correct spelling of the photographer&#39;s name.  This is in the same style as a Wallace Nutting colorized photograph.

Waterford Crystal Alana Roly Poly Decanter

Lismore, Waterford&#39;s most iconic pattern, was introduced in 1952 and was inspired by the Gothic architecture of Lismore Castle.  There are actually 13 glasses.  There are 8 of the smallest size glasses but one has a small chip on the rim.  We believe they are cordial or sherry glasses and measure about 3.5&#34; tall.  There are 4 taller size glasses that are 5.35&#34; tall and those are all perfect.  Finally there is 1 glass that is 4.5&#34; tall and a little wider.  Most are marked but it is hard to get a good photo of the Waterford mark.  All wrapped up in the box shown in the last picture.

Cat Cream &#38; Sugar made by Eldreth Salt-Glazed Stoneware

This lot includes a pair of antique transferware ceramic plates in the iconic Blue Willow pattern.  The hole in the edge of each plate suggests that these are hot water warming plates, also called &#34;hot plates.&#34;  They are deep hollow dishes designed to be filled with hot water to keep food warm during a meal.  The Blue Willow pattern developed in the late 18th century in England and was inspired by Chinese export porcelain.  One plate has a chip; see the photo.  The bottoms of the plates are stamped with the mark of Copeland & Garrett New Blanche meaning they were produced in Staffordshire, England between 1833 and 1847.
