Litle box

 

Horn necklace

 

Buying these today was a real thrill as we have not had the chance for such a long time. I have had my pleasure looking at boardies finds .

 

Between pandemic lock downs & being a surrogate mommy to a brood of kitties, you have been just a tad bit busy.

 

Hi, any idea about this vase ? Got this while ago but never had it appraised.

Any help would be really appreciated.

regards

You have to take pictures of the bottom,etc. I would suggest starting a thread in pottery/porcelain . BUT from what I can see ,it looks newish .

 

Picked these out of a barn for a dollar each yesterday.
My favorite, a 6” tall Bear with glass eyes, holds a pencil.




A 10” tall eagle on snake with traces of paint that is hard to see in my photos but the snake has red and the eagle mostly brown.



And this little 3” bird and basket, missing some kind of lid I suppose.

 

This saddle blanket a bit tattered was also a dollar.

 

@anundverkaufen ...those are very sweet......good carver !!!!

 

Suspect your bear (what a great face!), more likely originally held a glass trumpet vase insert:

That’s awesome Cheryl, thanks! The facial expression is why I liked it so much.
I’m going back in couple days, I’ll have to see if I can find the vase.
I got a lot more stuff out of the same place just haven’t photographed it yet.

Another buy on sunday. A small well patinated brass canister with the Hanoverian coat of arms on lid.

 

Thank you!
Now I want to go back and find the vase today, unfortunately the owner won’t be back until Wednesday. Hope it’s there!

 

best of luck.....!!!
search high and low !!!! hhehe!!!!!!!

 

Here’s a few more items from the same barn.

A lantern from the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad with original acid etched shade.


A large homemade wooden touring car.


Two Art Deco compacts.


Two 8” tall bobble heads from Panama.


And a cool dovetailed Capewell Horse Nail Co. box with a leather bail attached.

 

the compacts are sweet !~!!
nice finds !!
( no vase ? )

 

Haven’t been back yet, that’s all from Saturday, I’ll go back Wednesday.
I’m helping the owner evaluate the stuff in his deceased parents house in exchange for cheap stuff from the barn. There’s lots in the barn but the house has the the good stuff, I won’t be getting any of that, it will be auctioned and the proceeds divided amongst the grandchildren.
