    I've seen Mottadeh quoted as a basaltware maker, but...?

    I should find such junk! Tell her to feel free to throw that junk at you any old time!

    Yesterday I paid $4 for this unsigned McCoy vase. It's 8.5" tall. It reminds me of a butternut squash!

    I was shocked at the price. They don't understand Taxco pieces

    Never seen that design at that scale before. Really nice. Impactful.

    A favorite find, a fabulous fake by JTV. Sterling and CZs, size 7, sparkles like crazy, $40. Closest I am going to get to a genuine ballerina ring.

    So hubby and I got up and got to the show in the ritzy shore town by 10 a.m., late by my standards. It was jammin', and getting hot. The ballerina ring was from one dealer, I have a couple more stories. Things weren't cheap, but they were reasonable, and I loved what I bought. I was talking to a friendly dealer I know, and a guy came up and was grabbing sterling, particularly NA jewelry, like crazy. He wanted to see everything she had, even the stuff she hadn't put on display. Every time she thought he was done, she wanted something else. I waited patiently to check out with her. I spent $155, got this plus a little FW pearl cross.
    This will go on the jewelry board, haven't seen another like it and I can't make out the maker's mark. I really love it.

    Lumii_20230806_170707067.jpg Lumii_20230806_170556531.jpg The best buy was another story. An older gentleman had a bunch of beads, nothing great, except these for $8. He said they were his Wilma Flinstone beads. Graduated coral, could be angelskin, GF clasp, 20 inches.
