Lucy’s Ivy Condiment set

IVy pattern condiment caddy in Lucy’s kitchen

A similar unmarked porcelain Condiment Set with caddy in an ivy leaf pattern was sold on eBay in 2016 with the following description:
“The overall length of the caddy is 6 1/4 inches and is nearly 5 1/4 inches tall and just over 3 inches wide. I do not think they have ever been used. The one spoon is broken form storage, but it looks like all the pieces are there. The jar opening is 2 inches and almost 2 inches deep.”

It is similar to  George S. Thompson Company (est 1944 and later bought out by Olde Thompson) hand painted Imperial Ivy pattern,  pictured below, and goes well with the Franciscan Ivy pieces used on set and Lucy’s  Olde Thompson wall mounted salad set.

Olde Thompson Ivy Salt Box seen on eBay

On eBay this week is a vintage Olde Thompson Salt Box in the Imperial Ivy design. The ivy design was also featured on the Olde Thompson cruet seen on I Love Lucy. The Ivy salt box was not seen on the show but there was an Olde Thompson salt box in the same shape on the wall near the kitchen sink.
