<p>[QUOTE="Nathan Lindop, post: 352628, member: 5285"]My first post in this thread. Nearly 800 pages of posts! amazing achievement [USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] and everyone here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found these on my first car boot sale attendance in years! (If your American and don’t hear the term often, it’s just an English flea market but people set up tables next to there cars. Trunk = boot and all that) It was amazing, surprised how fun it was. Expected that I’d find nothing and that even if I did the seller would be asking for a high price because of it being an easy spot. But no, was the exact opposite. Found a WW1 trench art ashtray and a Victorian small enamel painted decanter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also I bought two Minton vases from the first stall me and my dad saw! On a cold wet British day I didn’t take too long to assess them till I got home. There is a horrible amount of damage to both haha and even weirder they aren’t even a pair, I can tell by the paint and the gilding differences now but they are also made decades apart with different date marks, how strange. Love the Celeste blue regardless. A beautiful marriage indeed. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie76" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ashtray was £1.50, decanter £1 and the vases £3.
