Sally Crowley Collection At Corea Antique Shop Print E-mail
Thursday, December 18, 2008
GOULDSBORO — The late Hancock County Treasurer Sally Crowley was an avid collector — teapots, pitchers, Depression glass, Flow Blue, Vibert pottery — and a portion of her estate is currently for sale.

Lucy Shapiro, owner of Old Good Goods in the village of Corea, was asked by Crowley’s children to sell some of their mother’s collectibles.

Shapiro said Crowley had begun consigning some of her things at the antique shop several months before she died.

“She thought well of her things selling here, so her children asked about doing it too,” Shapiro said.

Crowley, formerly town manager in Gouldsboro, Winter Harbor and Machias, died Oct. 7 of breast cancer. She was 69.

A percentage of the proceeds for sales made during the month of December will go to Hospice of Hancock County, Shapiro said.

The exhibit and sale officially began Dec. 3 at the shop located at the crossroads of Crowley Island Road and Corea Road in the post office building.

The collection includes Flow Blue, a glazing largely used in 19th century England that blurred when transferred and became highly collectible; blue and white pitchers and teapots; Depression glass in pink, blue, monax and milk glass; Pine Tree Kiln pottery by Denis Vibert of Sullivan; Wade “Whimsies” animal figurines made for Red Rose Tea, as well as other collectibles.

The store is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Monday. Call 963-2510 for more information.
