[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 52342, member: 301"]I hit an antique show in the mall today....haven't been to this one in a long time. My eye for glass & pottery has been greatly improved by hanging out here , but I really wish any 4 of you had been with me ! A little knowledge....is a bad thing ! They're all dealers so yes ...nothing was being given away, but I actually recognized certain items that I never would have before. In the end I was more confused ( nicely so...though..) than ever before & ended up buying a pre 1930 Mic Mac ash & sweetgrass basket ....where it shouldn't have been. Poor dealer paid $100 for it cuz some shifty no good told him it was rare. By the time I got thru giving him it's history ...he was happy to see it gone for $35. I noticed a nice Tapio Wirkkala vase , 3429 I think...for $80....if I see it tomorrow I may pop on it. & a Aladin Inkwell....very nice..but at $175...to pricey for a novice....although he may come down somewhat. Now I have to find church sales where these things are all $10 !!! :rolleyes: Thank you all for giving me just enough new found knowledge....to make me dangerous ! :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:....:eek::eek:[/QUOTE]
