    I must admit, the Daum label makes up for a lot.

    I've had a busy year and obtained, gold, silver, watches, jewellery, antiques and coins, but nothing stands out as the best of the year.

    So my best is my new car, and I had to pay for it:D

    I've got my private plates on it now but still not done 1000 miles.

    I bought this fantastic pitcher in a local on-line auction this year. It was part of a glass lot, and the photo of the pitcher showed only the side with the ivy, which I loved. I examined the photo for a week as the auction date got closer. I spied a foot, just toes really, peeking through the grape leaves. The image on the other side not shown. When I went to pick it up, I saw the beautiful woman and just started laughing. The estate guy thought I was nuts. Signed by a master glass cutter, around 1900. A fraction of what it's worth. Best find ever. Fritchie.jpg Engraved.jpg Fritchie2.jpg

    I think this was about my best for the year L E Smith "Bittersweet" vase, I think it was just shy of 36" tall or close to it. I had to wait until I had the opportunity to rent a new locked case so I could adjust the shelf to fit it. It sold in 10 days.

    Just got this piece yesterday! Globe Furniture Card Catalog. One of the best examples I've seen.

    1. Not my personal style
    2. But I understand the attraction, especially in this case.

    I've hung with too many artists and artisans. That thing was WORK. I hope the original artist was paid a pretty penny. Probably wasn't..(grouse) No wonder nobody wants to work any more.
