sometimes you just HAVE to have it

Only if someone drowning in a vat of beer is a memory you treasure.............

 

Well ! Theres no accounting for taste !

 

Cool lamp Shiloh!! Congrats on all the posts!

Well Nuff you probably shopped em dry....put your boots back on and find some girly!
I found a very few, there were lots of sales and tons of shoppers and after the kids get off to school pickins are even slimmer. I think these are Blenko 8.00 for pair
Pretty celadon color ginger jar with a oriental mark. Have to check goth for squiggly lines lol 2.00
Doesnt seem very old. Also got 3 grams of 14k scrap gold and some bamboo scrolls I will post in a minute

 

Probably not very old but only a dollar for 3

 

Book, THESE results indicate that Insto Products made time-stamps.

 

...and although I can't call up the cached page in the first link HERE (so the Insto reference no longer shows up), if you look at the other timers on that page of racing pigeon timers, I wonder if that is what your clocks were used for.

 

sharona....lock your doors in case you hear a sneaky amber sniffing bandit slithering around your house some night

Nuff.....love that sepia plate


Johnny...beauty is in the eye of the beholder...vat of beer and all

 

Lol! Sharona, I was just being an a$$.

I have other finds, but don't care to share at the moment.

That porcelain piece (large bulb bowl or brushwasher) is actually quite nice and appears quite rare and unusual.

It probably dates to the 18th/19th C., in a café-au-lait (coffee and milk) glaze, with sepia decorated interior, sitting on three small applied feet and unglazed base.

This glaze was most popular during the Kangxi and Qianlong Period and revived in the late-19th C.

I've never seen one like it, nor have I been able to locate a comparable so far.

 

Nice finds all!

Thanks, Shi.

 

Morgen, the link in my first message, #1192, was to Roschmitt auctions for the same set of clockworks that are on this Invaluable site. I also came across the same website with the racing pigeon timers. After scrolling down through the pigeon timers found it eventually included other other clockworks. It then had the Insto clockwork that was in a lot of 6 other clockworks that were referring to the same auction lot as from the Roschmitt auction house. If you use your "Here" link in your 2nd message and at the bottom of that page change "Per Page" from 50 to 200 you will see the clocks, "Lot 152." I think this lot is the 200 one for it was at the very bottom of the page. They are the same as I linked to in my 1st message. I guess I shouldn't say they aren't pigeon timers. The Lot description doesn't say they are, but it doesn't say what they were used for either.

'Nuff, I think the mark on the vase is #707 near the bottom of the Chinese Marks page on Gotheborg. The section is "RECENT ADDITIONS-UNDERGLAZE BLUE" with this info:

707. Zhongguo Longquan - "China Longquan", probably referring to the Celadon type glaze made famous by the Longquan kilns in Zhejiang province of South-Eastern China. Modern ware, late 20th century.

It is the 3rd section **up* from the bottom or the 2nd "Recent Addition" section scrolling down from the top. A good 3/4ths of the way down the page.

Susan,

The information you posted above regarding Sharona's celadon covered piece is correct. I'm sure she'll be happy to have this info. Thanks for posting it.

My post #1209 was actually referring to post #1200.

Not sure if you got the two mixed-up?

Or am I confused?

 

First thing my mother said was "Your not hanging that thing in here! " . LOL!

 

Just come to the front door Shiloh!

 

I was surprised to hear that, the weather here is perfect and there were zillions of sales but nothing worth buying. How can there be that much crap in the world.....?
I would just donate most of it..all I found after many sales were 3 Howard Hold cruets...and a modern cabinet I plan on flippin quick for 10.00 nothing else

 

I just received a piece that I got off of Ebay. The pic is from the Auction (I havent had a chance to photograph it yet.)

Kralik Lines and Canes. This one must be a girl...look at those cute dimples.

 

I got a whole box of art glass at auction last night for $5

It needs to be washed a little

 

Nope, you're not confused, I was. Sorry. Hope Sharona realizes my mistake on aiming that message at you instead of at her.
