Love everyone's finds.
Great jadite bowl Joe.

This made me laugh. My relatives had some dishes that were less than edible in my eyes too.

 

WOW!

 

I leave that to the local raccoons. The one lady did say that if she hadn't been lazy and had gone looking, she'd have beaten me to one of the bracelets. No one even thought to look at the ring! I'll have to get the stone checked if I sell it, just in case, but someone would have a tough time faking that color play.

Found these two book-shaped faience pottery planters at a thrift store for $15.00.

They were made by Platon-Nicolas-Constantin Argyriades (1888-1968). Born in Marseille, he grew up in Paris and attended the national ceramics school in Sèvres. While at school he met the future glass artisan, G. Argy-Rousseau, who would later marry Platon’s sister.

In 1922, Platon opened the Poterie du Vieux Montmartre, an art glass and
ceramics studio in Paris’ Montmartre district. In 1929, he opened a pottery
studio in the village of Domois on Belle-Île-en-Mer.

How they managed to arrive in Arizona and not get separated would make for an interesting story!

I don't keep many things I find but I think these will find a special place in my display case.

 

Very cool!

 

Johnny....that is ONE WILD Peacock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Couldn't beat the price

 

be nice to find out what building that came out of !

I do like those book-planters!

 

went to my 1st gs of the season ,there was little kids everything and nothing for me , a box of costume jewelry on the ground at the end of the table caught my eye I asked if she was making it and she said "no it was my gramas " (ding ding ding ) , so i started to browse through the tub this was in there out came the loop, and it was marked sterling i was kinda in a hurry so i took the tub up to her and asked for the whole thing , she said make an offer ,i offered $50 dollars , she was good with that . more pics to come

 

Looks good, Lloyd!

 

vintage fur french bonnet

 

some old magazines

 

Lloyd, I hope you like looking though a loupe! You've got a job ahead of you .... and dang do I wish I'd found that box first!(LOL) That's a HAUL! The ring in the bottom picture looks like one I have sitting here, and that one's real. There may be some more goodies there, and some of the real stuff isn't marked. I got a gold ring, worth melting only, for about 50 cents a few weeks back, because it was so old the marks had been rubbed out.

 

yup can't wait for my daughter to get home i was dropping them off at her friends house down the street and i told her (she knew lol ) i would stop and have a look . found so far 2 18 k 2 14k and 2 10k rings with diamonds and rubies , jade and so much lol gold necklaces and silver .925 the list goes on .

 

this hat intrigues me

 

What a beautiful day we've had here! Not a cloud in the sky all day! So off I went to an estate sale (yes, for those who saw my Rant last week, I am vertical and mobile )

A Norwegian household, so it's not a surprise to have found 2 pieces of Norwegian 830 silver flatware in the pile of non-silver souvenir spoons. 3 bucks total. The sweet little spoon has a 1911 date and the name Karoline engraved on it. I just couldn't leave Karoline there.
