I love the Vietnam one and would hang it in a heartbeat. Great find!

 

I could have sworn I've seen some Limoges enamel work with that signature....

 

thats a great tip ! I'll have to pursue that direction.

 

Here's what the Lens turned up!

Well done you ! Thank you so much.

 

Its a lovely thing! I've always loved the Limoges enamels, we're local to the factories but they're fairly pricey here! Tiny ones start at 25-30, you cant get a large one for under 100.

 

I'm a cobalt "girl", and I like that too.

 

Ditto, its such a gorgeous color

 

A non-jewelry find. Vintage velvet bat-wing swing coat, unlined. Larger size, too....the cuffs were originally rolled up, see pic, I let them down full length. I am posting this on the vintage clothing board because I'd like to know more about the age and fabric. I am also posting a link to Worthpoint that shows three yards of this fabric. If amyone has Worthpoint, can you please let me know the sold price? Thank you.

nice finds John !!!!!

 

Every time I find a Native American piece I think of you ! I never knew the 1st thing about any until your posts started informing me. Now I like the stuff.

 

Love the blue!!!

 

Those candlesticks must have been dirty. Sure are pretty now though.

 

It was some weird whitish dust. I swear it almost looked like a finish ! Very pleased with their true color.All providential,as Ive been getting the itch to change things lately .

 

@Marko
Sold for $39.99.

 

Thank you!

 

It's too dark for a photo till tomorrow.

I found a Van Briggle vase, early mark, in a UK charity shop. Of all places!

 

Oddly that does not surprise me. No one there would know what the name means or what it sells for.

Today I found some scrap silver and scrap gold and found a way to get rid of two pieces of artwork that weren't my style. one got donated - minus its broken frame and broken glass. One was rejected by a business owner until his wife walked in. "Hey this is cool. Whose is it? How much do you want for it?" Not much.

 

So here's the little Van Briggle. In perfect condition.
