Arnart Pitcher
Q: I have had this pitcher for many years–a gift from a friend. It is marked “arnart 5th Ave handpainted.” Can you tell me how old it is?
A: The mark on your pitcher was used by Arnart, an American importer that’s been in business in New York City since 1953. The company has used several different names and marks, including some that indicated it had offices in Japan or imported goods from Japan. Many of the pieces were made to resemble Victorian and early 20th-century objects. The business is currently operating as part of Barrington House/Arnart International. Products include collectibles, figurines, vases, and other decorative objects. The mark on your pitcher was registered by Arnart in 1957.

I have a vintage giraffe that comprises of some material that is stuffed with some kind of fibre. The legs and neck have some wire in them to help keep their shape. It has brown glass or plastic eyes and a long brown tail. It is 7 1/2″ tall to the top of the head. My grandmother had it on her mantle piece in Brighton England, I first remember seing it in 1956. I have no idea how old it is or where it was made.
