[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 257117, member: 35"]I GOT A FIND!!! :singing::singing::singing: I hardly go looking anywhere these days, but DS and I went for a jaunt to a little town up-Island and stopped in a "junque" store. Most unique item was an old "cottage" baby grand piano for $1400. Apparently, a cottage piano has 85 keys instead of the usual 88. Needed work, but then, lots of antique pieces (and people!) do. Anyway, I was looking at all the coffee mugs and knock-knacks and what did I spy? A kutani vase. Looked like a rose amongst a pile of thorns to my eyes. Not best quality, but I've seen worse, and I do believe it's at least turn of the 20th c. Height: 7 inches. Cost: $3 CDN. Had to be mine.
