<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 41359, member: 35&quot;]So I know I&#039;ve been a bit MIA lately, but lemme tell, my life is not my own at the moment.&nbsp; However, I did manage to do a little browsing amongst some tables set up in a mall -- dealers do this a couple of times a year.&nbsp; Bought the little Valentine photos and two floral china brooches for $15.&nbsp; The Laurel Burch plates I bought at a thrift yesterday (I went clothes shopping and after that depressing escapade, I decided to give myself a treat and shop at the thrift before going home!).&nbsp; One is fine condition and the other has 4 small glaze chips on the rim.&nbsp; One was $2.99 and the other was $2.29.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t money makers, but I&#039;m keen on her designs, and since she has passed away, there isn&#039;t anymore coming.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to hang them on my kitchen wall.&nbsp; The round Ruskin-looking brooch was an ebay purchase (and not particularly cheap, but I seem keen on these early porcelain pieces at the moment), but the strange thing is that it&#039;s marked &quot;Astra&quot; which makes me think Minton Astraware.&nbsp; Wonder if it was made by Minton, or just a minor manufacturer making arts and crafts style jewelery.&nbsp; Has a repair to the hinge which isn&#039;t fancy, but works.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
