SHAFFORD CHARLEY WEAVER TEA SET RARE JAPAN HAND PAINTED 1950s ARQUETTE TV ACTOR

Description: RARE SHAFFORD TEA SET CHARLEY WEAVER HAND-PAINTED 1950s CLIFF ARQUETTE TV & RADIO ACTOR This full 7-piece hand painted tea set depicts Charley Weaver, a character performed by comedian and actor Cliff Arquette from the 1950s-1970s on TV. This EXTRAORDINARILY RARE fine bone china has no chips, cracks or repairs. The set displays beautifully, however condition issues include: crazing, some paint spots rubbed off, differences in shading, color and glaze. Inside the creamer, there is a rough spot that has been there since this piece was fired in the kiln. In crazing on creamer’s face, it looks like a crack, but it’s not. It doesn’t go through the china. Piece holds 9 ounces and could still be used. The teapot holds 18 ounces and is nice inside and out. The salt shaker is lighter colored than the pepper shaker. Shakers are empty but still have pieces of original corks. The four small pieces are high gloss shiny glaze. The teapot is shiny too, but not high gloss, except its black hat. Shafford made the green-eyed funny man with great shapes, bulbous at the bottom just like Charley. Shafford exported to the U.S. from the 1940s-1970s producing sets and items depicting famous people. Actor Cliff Arquette (1905-1974) accepted Jack Paar's invitation to appear on Paar's NBC Tonight Show in 1957. Arquette had previously created the character of "Charley Weaver, the wild old man from Mount Idy.” He would read a letter from his "Mamma" back home. The characterization was so popular that Arquette almost never appeared in public as himself, but nearly always as Weaver with his squashed hat, little round glasses, rumpled shirt, broad tie, baggy pants and suspenders. Arquette could often convulse Paar and the audience into laughter by his use of timing and double entendres in describing the misadventures of his fictional family & townspeople. He was a fixture on Hollywood Squares for many years, always sitting in the lower left corner of the tic-tac-toe board. Arquette was the father of the late actor Lewis Arquette & the grandfather of actors Patricia, Rosanna, Alexis, Richmond & David Arquette.
