[QUOTE="Niko, post: 261617, member: 5200"]Yesterday I went to an auction for a "box of odds". I liked the box because it contained a Caithness Glass ball and I'd like to make a bid for it. I managed to buy the box with £29.5 (including the commission and VAT) and happy with my (first ever bid in an auction) I went home and unpacked the box. It contained the things you'll see in the photograph plus some more (commemorative plates (Prince Charles and Dianna marriage, Queen Elisabeth's Coronation and a bronze plate about the Church of Scotland with writings in English, Hebrew and Arabic). It also contained a few board games and other bot and pieces partially broken and other things. My real surprise was when looking at things I found a Grasshopper and googling the name/seal I could see on the bottom of it I found that it had some value. Now I know a bit more about pottery and about "Herend Hungary" :) The other thing I really like was the wooden carve of a Granny knitting and a small duck. The duck I'm not sure if it is wooden or a kind of stone. Would any one know anything to tell me about Granny and if it possible to figure out if the duck is made out of stone or wood? Thank you :) [ATTACH=full]81922[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81923[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81924[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81925[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81926[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81927[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81928[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81929[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81930[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
