    So happy to be thrifting again! Found this on my first foray out, a good addition to my vintage English pottery collection. Not their usual majolica or toby jug stuff. Mark is c. 1905-33. It’s a nice reminder of last year‘s enjoyable trip to Stoke on Trent and the potteries. Not worth much but I love it! I even treated myself to a cheap bouquet. :)
    (Sorry, I forgot to clean off the thrift store’s black marker on the base.)

    What a lovely treat - vase & flowers both! And colors harmonize so well. Not sure about that red carnation, but...why not. :)

    Looks great with those flowers too! Well coordinated!

    (With the bit of crazing you might keep an eye that it doesn't weep on the bottom and damage the wood table.)

    :hilarious: A bit of red for some pop! (Carnation came with the bouquet.)

    :happy: Thanks!

    Been keeping it on a cork mat with no weeping. :)

    Well, I had to go looking and now I am coveting this one, too, but I will not even consider paying $50 US (including shipping) when I paid only 10% of that for mine. I'm a cheapskate! :greedy:

    I certainly can be a bit of a perfectionist at times but I don't even remember doing that! :shame: (And I know it was me because I replaced all the outlet covers when I moved in in 2012.)

    If you weren't a perfectionist by nature, I'm sure your profession has made you one.
