<p>[QUOTE=&quot;&#039;Nuff_Said, post: 60417, member: 181&quot;]Yes, I recall his (Palatnik) work from someone posting a penguin made by him over on the eBay Antiques Board.</p><p><br /></p><p>This thread (Finds) on that site and this site have always been my favorite as well. From Terry posting four-figure vacuum tubes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> to many of the girls and their vintage jewelry finds have all inspired me to lookout for these items, items I would have never thought twice about.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe as you know, I knew almost NOTHING when it came to porcelain and pottery (especially Asian) prior to the end of 2011, but was inspired by two board members over on the other site who kept posting their Asian finds/threads. Not only that, but the market had shifted towards Asian works of art and I knew somehow we had to find our way into this market because that&#039;s where the &quot;big&quot; money was/is. Hell, I recall most of the regular board members over on the other site calling for a separate board for Asian items as there was no interest by many of them and folks started flooding the boards with inquiries after being inspired by sales/finishes in the four and five-figures. Now these inquiries (Asian items) have become the norm. It&#039;s funny how things change <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I recall Wendy helping me ID one of the first pieces of porcelain I found and posted (a mid-19th, Nymphenburg piece) and another member helping me ID a very rare late-18th C. Staffordshire piece I paid a $1 for not too long after the Nymphenburg find.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m slowly trying to train my eye towards picking glass items and vintage jewelry just as I did with pottery &amp; porcelain and so far, with much success.....thank goodness! Still haven&#039;t gotten the fear out of me regarding picking vintage and antique furniture (never done well in that area), but that&#039;s one of my next fears to knockdown/overcome. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
