Featured Finds Thread

Always fun catching up on the finds thread ! Heres a few of mine,I might start a thread on the glass one since they can get lost on here...
10x6 art glass vase. The color sold me. No signature,and googe search brings up a 1000 similiar ones.Im hoping someone might can narrow it down.



This one I think is mid century but so far no luck id'ing.

 

Hit enter too soon. Last one is a bone box from India,but quite nice for the genre.

 

The vase look like it's Thai.

 

Some of my goodies from the last week. Israeli Shabbos candlesticks, an unmarked doxie, and a nice paperweight. John Gentile imprint. https://petrifiedwood.rocks/paperweights-john-gentile/ Deruta signed coffee mug. Paid a buck each for the mug and paperweight. 50 cents for the pooch!

 

Ive tried Thai and every variation I can think of. Its got a gritty finish,so I leaned Italian for a bit but nada.

 

It might be Japanese with cribbed designs, suitably altered. Or weirdly altered. Carmen Miranda-esque ladies on one side and kinda-sorta Thai dancers on another!

 

Cute Doxie....and he's not so tiny!!!! Once upon a time, we had a live brown one.....named Cognac....but he needed a busy family to thrive....so we gave him to DH's family who had 6 young kids.........HE was in HEAVEN with them all to play with!!!!! Thanks @evelyb30, for posting!!!

 

He's close to life-size. Speaking of life size, you'll notice where they put the vent hole.

 

HAHAHA!!!! NO, I hadn't.....but I went back and found it.....Clever, they!!!!!

 

so he could......vent !!!

 

Very happy with today's vide grenier hunt. Found some personal items (dress and much needed (and very nice) shoes) but one of the pieces shown here really take the cake.

First though, I got these three booklets for a euro a piece, the Memorial I'll give its own thread, but these sovenier booklets are just lovely



I can't take credit for this find, my sister remembered a similar brooch I'd picked up a week or two back and showed these to me. I looked at the mark and couldn't set them aside fast enough. 'Vintage' Yves Saint Laurent big ole chunky clip earrings for 2.50. A lot of similar listings say they're gold plated, which makes me hopeful for an even better score.
Not my thing usually, but they're stunning, and look great on! They're not so commanding on the ear as they seem in hand.

Those might be an OOPS! Horrible problem, that. If you sell them, make sure shipping is open to Asia; that's where the market is for a lot of 80s Designer jewelry these days.

 

good to know

 

If memory serves... The YSL earrings wouldn't be gold plated.

More likely goldtone, but I've learned enough about crazy 80s jewelry to never rule anything out.

 

Don't know why I know this - but those are sold as "jade facial massage rollers".

 

and don't you just have the smoothest softest skin !!..

 

(LOL) So I've found out. Still don't know what the benefit is supposed to be, but it was cheap enough.

 

Ah lovely! Thanks very much.

It wasn't something that crossed my mind until I saw other listings, but what do sellers know!

 

Sorry to hear that you were ill Davey.
They say that if you keep trying foods that you can not taste or smell, it helps the brain remember the memories, but it takes time.
