I thought the same as you, they didn't belong together - imagine my surprise when I did an image search So it is a Humidifier - I like it better as a casserole dish

 

@cxgirl - Your Irice bottle is probably 1960s to 1980s. I haven't seen many pink bottles but there are oodles of the clear faceted-cut ones around.

 

@cxgirl

Love the wall plaque with the knights! The movement is beautifully captured! Very nice indeed. That could very happily hang on my den wall!

 

That's my kind of a haul!

 

If you plan to sell, @cxgirl , I think you should include "Puff The Magic Dragon" in your listing.

 

The basalt isn’t Wedgwood, I’ll remember the likely maker if my head wakes up. I bet the kettle is Scandinavian. Dragon is very much based on Catalan drach.

 

That dragon made my day/week/month!

 

That's gorgeous.

 

I SHOULD have gotten up at 4 am and gone to a town community yard sale, but sleep was calling my name. Plus it's 87 and humid here, plus I went out yesterday plus I am going to an outdoor show in a ritzy rich shore town tomorrow. A friend of mine has a sale a few times a year, people get there at 6 a.m., I got there at 11 a.m., she still had goodies. Spent $70.
Just some costume rings, $2 each.

Black MOP cameo pendant pin, black onyx, sterling and GF ring, sterling cross, brooches.

Sterling $3 each- stud single earring $4 for all at a thrift shop, heart 14k, diamond stud 14k, three pearl earring 10 or 14k.

 

Ross Simmons sterling multi-gem hoops, $3.

Mystery ring I am posting on the jewelry board, $2.

The best of her stuff was this. $20...I saw the Thailand 925 mark, liked it, put it in the pile.

When I got home, I saw a mark Dweck Diamonds. I googled, and learned it's a Stephen Dweck piece. The blue stones are not diamonds- the last one sold on ebay like this went for $400.

 

This I got at an eclectic shop. The owner said it was junk. I bought it for $8. Questions with my Google research will be posted on the jewelry board.

I found this tufa cast dragonfly ring at the pawn shop for $40.
Made by Gary Custer, Navajo

 

Love that.

 

I was pretty excited! It is my first tufa cast piece. Now I really want more. I love the look.

 

tufa cast?

 

It is made by carving a mold into a soft stone called tufa. Molten silver is poured into the mold. Sometimes this is called sand casting. The tufa stone creates the distinctive rough finish.
