<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 210137, member: 37&quot;]More thrift store finds.&nbsp; I keep buying glass, china, and pottery despite saying I am going to quit.&nbsp; It is hard to pass up when it is so darn cheap. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been seeking and buying furniture.&nbsp; Mostly beat up non-antique stuff to paint.&nbsp; This chair is the exception.&nbsp; Someone did a good job on reupholstering this and it looks like new.&nbsp; I was able to pick this up for $30.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61320[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The fish is Mexican pottery by one of the Mateos family.&nbsp; Bought for $4.00.&nbsp; The turtle box is probably Asian.&nbsp; Bought for a buck.&nbsp; The dolphin is signed R. W. and dated 1983.&nbsp; Paid 75 cents for it.&nbsp; The bird was 50 cents and probably Chinese. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61321[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This lot of Manhattan depression glass was bought at 50 cents per piece.&nbsp; Not sure why I need 11 berry dishes but at that price I could not pass them up.&nbsp; I know I have at least a couple of the master bowls somewhere so I can make up some sets.&nbsp; This is a pattern I actually like and use occasionally.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61322[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The two large Fiestaware plates were $2.00 each.&nbsp; The luncheon plate was 59 cents, as was the bread and butter.&nbsp; The Russel Wright plate was a buck.&nbsp; I can easily sell the Fiestaware.&nbsp; The Russel Wright will go in my stash that I have had no interest in.&nbsp; Hard to believe how hard it has fallen off. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61323[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>These three perfect Hutschenreuth plates were 50 cents each at half price sale.&nbsp; Hard to believe that no one bought them at a buck each for three weeks. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61324[/ATTACH] </p><p>These double sided wheel cut design bar glasses are really intriguing.&nbsp; Maybe Czech? Bought for $3.00 total. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61325[/ATTACH] </p><p>The silver fade pitcher was $1.50.&nbsp; I have 6 of the matching glasses bought earlier to put with it.&nbsp; The red dish with metal rim is pretty interesting.&nbsp; I think the metal rim is probably nickel-silver since it was dull but not tarnished before polishing.&nbsp; It is stamped Germany on the rim.&nbsp; No other marks.&nbsp; The glass is a deep red and shows lots of wear on the bottom.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have no immediate use for it but couldn&#039;t pass it by at 59 cents. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61326[/ATTACH] </p><p>The dragonfly vase is modern.&nbsp; Bought for a buck.&nbsp; The James Thomson signed photo of the grand canyon was also a buck.&nbsp; The wire caged test tube vase was 50 cents.&nbsp; I had to supply the test tube from my stash. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61328[/ATTACH] </p><p>This acid etched copper faced print block is from the arts and crafts period.&nbsp; I may have overpaid at $8.00 but thought it interesting.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61329[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
