Featured Finds Thread

I've been calling you Evelyn on this board for years.....
have you never noticed that before..?

MOS, those etchings/prints are AMAZING with such detail!!!! I CANNOT for the life of me imagine having the patience to create SOMETHING SO EXACTING!!!!! I'm afraid I would be out of my mind....what there is of it, that is!!!!! They are WONDERFUL!!!

 

I did; I just quit worrying about it after repeating myself about three times here and elsewhere. ;-) As long as no one's using four-letter words other than Ruth, I'll answer to just about anything meant to refer to me.

 

I'll try to remember Ruth !

 

Couple-a finds from yesterday- wedgewood black/red pharaoh box for a buck - lid is chipped on the inside edge. Spiny oyster bangle - 4 bucks.

very nice, both............silver bangle ???

Were u walking like an Egyptian ???

 

Heehee... brass bangle.

 

More like walking with the box hidden so that @gregsglass can't try to snag it.(LOL) The bracelet was made in India some time in the last 40 years.

 

Oh Baby!

 

They so remind me of soda fountain ice cream sunday glasses.....but they are only 3 1/8 inches tall by 3 at the rim.
They are marked with a raised ' D ' .....& one has a treatment to the base....
50 cents a piece.....I can find room for them......for now.



Little 1 1/4 x 2 3/4 inch wide porcelain ladies bobby pin heart shaped covered dish.....GDR with impressed numbers 227......or 222....

75 cents worth of ' cute ' !!!

more to follow.......

 

The pair would have been nice.....but a bird in the hand...was never so true.
Salt or pepper porcelain ....Cockatoo......with impressed FF ( ?? ) & copyright on the bottom.....
At 4 1/2 inches tall......it's easy to look after !
At 75 cents.....easy to feed !!!



Now this is here , cuz it's so involved for a small pottery item...with the lovely blue tones mixed with gold paint...& I know how much you guys like looking at..." what the heck is this...studio...or amateur pottery thing !!!
At 3 1/4 inches tall.....a bud vase ??.......and what do you make of the base ??
Again for 75 cents.......even my lackluster photo's are sure to amuse !!!
I hope...........
( any copper color, is actually gold tone...)

Gotta keep Gila from seeing that cockatoo! And that last item - so weird, it's cool!

 

Cute cockatoo komo! You might have already figured this out, he is half of a salt and pepper set by Fitz and Floyd.

 

Hmmm, I wonder is that a "Fitz & Floyd" Rooster?

Well phooey. Quirky Girl was quick on the "Fitz & Floyd" draw!!!

Here is a quote from Fitz & Floyd's website which might be of general interest:

"Whether it's a tea service for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Presidential dinnerware for The White House, a holiday centerpiece for your table, or a first set of dinnerware for your apartment or dorm room, each and every Fitz and Floyd product receives the same discerning attention to meticulous craftsmanship and exquisite detail."

"Fitz and Floyd – often elegant, sometimes whimsical, always a prized and treasured gift."

 

Since he's missing his mate is it more of a cocka-one?

 

The missing Clue game piece?

 

Oh!
And I get harassed!!!

 

Can't help it - inherited my father's sense of humor - I blame it on genetics.
