Thanks!

 

I think it might be Jorge Wilmot! The mark looks like JR, but it could be a sideways W with a line under it.

 

Today I hit a church sale, postponed, an estate sale that turned out to be a modern gack moving sale, and then an estate sale I almost bypassed. Good thing I didn't. I don't have pictures, but did bag (ahem) two brand new backpacks for an annual charity drive. Oh, and some scrap sterling and a bitty bit of gold.(LOL) Oops. For $20. Another sale turned up those glass coasters in a holder with the sterling rims - five bucks. Those will go locally. Then I found what's probably an egg yolk amber necklace...for fifty cents. I'll have to triple check that one....

 

"Ecstasy" by Maxfield Parrish, 1929. 14 1/2" tall. Lots of problems, but I do think it is of the period, and it's good enough for me.

 

Those feet will be cut to ribbons before she gets off those rocks.

 

Very nice finds everyone.
Boy those Halloween items bring back great memories.

 

I found this on Ebay. It was listed as a Hat Pin holder or Vase with no maker attributed. It is actually a Welz Vertical Stripe (In pink) Candle Holder. I am going to keep looking for a mate for it, but in the mean time it will be repurposed as a Hat Pin Holder. (I am now on the lookout for any hat pins, and will post in the Marketplace)

 

That's beeyoutiful, desperate!!

 

NICE! I'm betting it was well under retail too. Gotta love those whoopsies.

 

Actually not too much under what they normally sell for, but I'm happy to add it to our collection. My luck though, I'll find another at triple what I paid for this one LOL

 

I love the colour on that piece desperate!

 

I like it as well. Welz sure knew how to do pinks. I missed out on a pink and red perfume. I am still kicking myself over it. It was incredible.

 

I was able to find a pic of it (along with a lamp shade)

 

How I adore Maxfield Parrish ! That pink vase is equally lovely.

 

Wow, those are stunning pieces! I love the red on them. I bet that shade is fabulous when it is lit.

 

I found this sweet sewing box, MCM I believe. No marks on it so I don't know who or where it was made.

 

Oh, that's darling !
If you were next door I'd run over & buy it off you !
If I could pry it out of your hands !!

 

lol komokwa - it is a neat piece. It is one of the pieces I found (or uncovered) when I cleaned out the barn last weekend.

 

Tell me...those are screws holding the handle on ...right?

Do the legs come off too ??

 

lol, good eyes. I wouldn't take the handle off but would take the legs off for shipping.
