OK, actually, I'm just putting off painting a bit more of the kitchen ... but since the paint roller has thawed out and the Aleves have kicked in, there are no more excuses after I show what I found at the thrift this week. Interesting 7" vase with crimped edge and diamond point-like pattern (still trying to figure out who made it) and pint bottle in aqua color with the word "summer" over a leafy tree on the front and the word "winter" over a bare tree on the back. This bottle has the ugliest pontil scar I've ever seen! The bottle feels and looks old ... does anyone know of any recent reproductions of what I assume is a mid-to-late 19th century bottle?
