<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 625932, member: 88&quot;]They laughed at me Friday at the auction when I asked if I could post something on the window where you sign in &amp; pay. It was a photo of a sugar bowl &amp; its mark with a request that if anyone had gotten the matching creamer to see me. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had gotten the teapot, sugar, 4 cups &amp; 4 saucers on a table lot a couple of weeks ago. While I was washing the teapot I kept thinking it looked familiar. It finally dawned on me that it looked like the one that was part of the tea set I sold last year for $850.00.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /> Now that one did have considerably more pieces, but still.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I did look at all of the table lots that were set up for the next auction with out any luck &amp; asked a few of my friends if they remembered seeing anything like the pattern. I figured what did I have to lose by posting the picture &amp; may be someone notices it than agrees to sell me the creamer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The boxes that we have gotten from the estate of this woman are sometimes packed with no rhyme or reason. So you don&#039;t know when you find a sinle piece or maybe a few matching pieces if that is all there is or is there more to be had in another box. We try to hold out till we see if there is any more, but if there are no more boxes to be unpacked it gets sold as found. There is just no where to put things for possibly weeks till more can be found. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have gotten a single Haviland cup in a box lot only to have the other 7 cups with 8 saucers show up 3 weeks later in the next load of boxes. The same thing happed with a covered vegetable dish that came as part of a table lot of misc. dishes I bought. A month later the rest of the dishes showed up.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So the morale is it never hurts to ask because the worse that can happen is you will be told no &amp; who hasn&#039;t had that happen multiple times.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
