In the episode “Oil Wells” (S3, 2/15/54) the Ricardos and the Mertzes fight over their shares of stock when they think they’ve been swindled. Soon after, Lucy spots Ethel in the hallway and asks for a five minute truce to discuss how they can get their money back. In the hallway is a framed print of a painting by Edgar Degas, “L’école de dance” (School of Ballet). We only get to see 3/4 of it, but here is what it looks like.
When Ricardo’s and the Mertzes board their Pan Am flight to return from their European tour Ethel is seen carrying her new PAA flight bag. “Isn’t that cute!” she says to Fred. “That’ll come in handy won’t it.”
Seen in the Mertzes Monte Carlo room are framed cameo miniatures on the wall. Similar miniatures are seen in the Mertz living room and in the Ricardo’s apartment in the window alcove on either side of the piano following their return from the trip.

This gilt framed cameo miniature portrait by A Cameo Creation is similar to the one seen in the screenshot above. ‘A Cameo Creation’ miniatures were inspired by the more expensive Victorian originals and were sold in the home decor sections of department stores at affordable prices.
Cameo miniatures are also seen in the Mertz apartment, seen here in a scene from the episode Little Ricky Learns to Play the Drums after they return from the trip.
In the screen capture above from the “Lucy and Superman” episode Lucy is sharing peanuts from her pedestal glass compote/candy dish. Lucy’s dish looks like the Fostoria ‘American’ Compote Candy Dish which can also be found with a matching lid. Hand washing is recommended it is not dishwasher safe.
Pictured below is an example of the Fostoria footed glass candy dish in the “American” pattern currrently on eBay HERE.
Fostoria’s “ice-cube” style American pattern, line 2056 is pressed glass (which you can tell from the seams in the glass) not cut crystal: The color called “Crystal” means clear glass, not lead crystal and does not give an indication of lead content. According to this article American pressed glass made after the Civil War does not contain lead. [If you are concerned about lead content and wish use a vintage bowl to hold dry food such as peanuts or unwrapped candy, line the class first with transparent plastic – cut a rounded corner from a plastic food bag to make a funnel large enough to fit the bowl place into the bowl before adding the food]
