Featured Finds Thread

Today I clicked and found..a live board. THank you Peter!

 

Went through the ReStore on my way home and...full stop. Shawnee Pottery corn on the cob set. $10. I just found its twin on eBoo going for $75 and I think they'll get it. The butter sells for $25 by itself.

I am not a doll expert but she sure looks 18th-19th century to me. I love the simplicity of her.

 

So glad we are back ! A few finds to share...
I think this is called Weeping Widow and its by Wedgwood


This Art Nouveau candlestick might be Austrian but Ive not pinned it down


little glass bowl with sterling base.The markings are too worn to make out but for $1 I aint complaining .

This little copper and enamel thing caught my eye because its pretty,I have no idea what it could be for.


Finally... I bought these simply because Ive never seen lead ware so big ! They weigh a ton . Couldnt find any info on them.

 

Very nice! They are known as Penny dolls or Peg dolls (I guess they supposedly sold for a penny at one point). Fun to collect and dress. I can't remember the exact history but they do have some age on them.

 

The design on the copper whatsit looks like Ganesh. It's not made to hold any serious weight or anything big or crushable. Incense sticks maybe?

 

That is a Ganesha with a OM symbol . Its normally a wall hanging in India, a touristy / home decor kind of thing for Indians.

 

That was what drew me to her. I bet some little girl played with her and had as much pleasure from her as any modern child with a Barbie and all the clothes & accessories.

 

Thank you. I think she is charming. They seem to have been made in much the same style for a very long time so not sure quite how I'd be able to date her.

 

having trouble connecting to the board, too

 

It crashed hard a bit over a week ago. Server died.

Yesterday it was up and down for a while, but working by the time I could get on.
