<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 9501647, member: 37&quot;]A few things to show this week.&nbsp; I actually have a large back-log of lesser finds but had a couple particularly good scores this month that I had to bring here.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is this little Marblehead pottery creamer that I found for $2.00 at the thrift. Doesn&#039;t look like much but that is approaching $100.00 on a good day.&nbsp; Hardly ever any seen here in the Midwest but a good mark to know.&nbsp; Good examples go well into the thousands.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]449227[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449228[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The other is this Weller Hudson vase found for $6.00 at the Goodwill.&nbsp; It was on a shelf with the garden pots and was filthy.&nbsp; It had a paper label attached with scotch tape that said <i>Mrs. So and So&#039;s, Mother of Betty So and So</i>.&nbsp; This was obscuring the impressed Weller mark that was faint and mostly obscured by glaze.&nbsp; I thought it unmarked until I spotted the tiny R in the mark.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t matter.&nbsp; I knew it by sight when I saw it on the shelf.&nbsp; Another dealer I know had just been through there and missed it.&nbsp; Wonder how many others missed it?&nbsp; Cleaned up nicely.&nbsp; About 9&quot; tall by 7&quot; diameter and perfect condition, other than crazing.&nbsp; Two sides shown are very similar but different.&nbsp; Maybe my best find of the year.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]449236[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]449235[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few lesser finds for good measure.&nbsp; This handsome devil was $4.00 .&nbsp; It is made of unfired clay that has dried nicely and is hard as a rock. About 5&quot; tall.&nbsp; Has initials with a 90s date on the bottom.&nbsp; Likely a student piece. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]449237[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This box is by well known potter Andrew Van Assche. Bought for $7.00 at the Goodwill.&nbsp; It is bisque with a glazed and etched design on the lid.&nbsp; The interior is clear glazed.&nbsp; Any tips for cleaning bisque?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]449238[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, this Westmoreland dolphin compote was $4.00.&nbsp; Too nice to pass up at that money.&nbsp; Pink seems a bit harder to find?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]449239[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>As said, I have a backlog of lesser finds to show. If people are interested, I can probably post a bit at a time over the next few weeks.&nbsp; I also have some artworks to show that I will post over in art under the <i>thrift store art</i> thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
