Chalkware Figurine of Girl like Lucy Ricardo’s
Pretty chalkware figurine of a girl similar to one seen on a shelf behind the beds in the Ricardo’s bedroom on I Love Lucy.
It was likely based on the Royal Doulton figurine we looked at in a previous post.

Utrillo Print
Seen on ebay this rarely seen NYGS print like the one on I Love Lucy http://www.ebay.com/itm/Maurice-Utrillo-1883-1955-First-Edition-Print-by-NYGS-Well-Framed-Very-French-/252318239542
A framed print of this 1922 scene by French artist Utrillo was usually seen on the back wall of the Ricardo’s livingroom on I Love Lucy. However I spotted it on the bedroom wall in the same ornate frame in at least one episode as seen on the above screen grab.
Typically it is seen on the living room wall.
Coffee Grinder on eBay
Also on eBay is a B.O. Garantie coffee grinder similar in form to the one in Lucy Ricardo’s kitchen – the measurements and form factor are identical, including the drawer handle, except it is painted differently and Lucy’s had a painted ivy motif on the front.
