    This is going to be a long post.First, two tiny ceramic cuties I bought: 1.jpg 2.jpg

    Google image search showing the pot being vintage and Bulgarian? And no information and match for the pelican.

    An old box, probably the oldest thing I've found in charity shop, has same hinges and lock with my georgian and victorian boxes. But not good looking enough, so didn't buy it. 6.jpg 5.jpg 4.jpg
    These two are not found in charity shop but a proper antique shop, so the price will just be normal market level. Only bought the banded agate glass one, said to be late art deco. And indeed to find a massive one like this.

    I really like this tin caddy but unfortunately it got too many scratches and the lid has come off. But it did remind me to seek for a better one online.

    Btw can someone give some keywords for the tin caddy? I've tried georgian style tea caddy tin but no matching... or shall I turn back for it tomorrow?

    The second necklace in the antique shop is made from one of my favorites - opalite glass. Sometimes you'll find old ones that used to be faux pearl necklaces. The paint fell off and left the good part behind.

    Do you think £50 is a good price for a string of approx. 70cm then?:smuggrin: I didn’t buy it as I see they’re still making these glass today for a much lower price :(

    The little pot is Bulgarian Troyan ware.

    I'd say Fifty quid was wishful thinking. Twenty is more like it if they actually want to sell it, although a gold clasp would push the price up. That's a classic 20s/30s length though, so they may be thinking "oh it's Vintage so it's worth money."

    Ditto.

    I like the banded agate glass, and agree it looks Art Deco.

    it seems that, using modern beads to copy one will cost less;)

    Probably, if you can string it yourself. I hand-knot stuff all the time. It's not that difficult once you've figured out how.
