Soon I was digging for
china ...
And glassware ...
And pottery.
Amber glass salts - etched on the bottom with a flower design. Very Art Deco.
French transferware - a bit shabby.
One dessert plate with three cups.
Too precious to be left behind.
Plus who could resist a pink rooster?
A stack of five Czech Bohemian china dinner plates with a rose border.
Love the fluted gilt edge.
Four pottery planters.
They look so good as a group.
My favorite is the small green cactus with the two senors.
Three pairs of tiny elephants.
Trunks raised for luck, of course!
The vase is lovely and without any flaws.
Not marked Fire King or Pyrex, but resembles them.
A small apple jar - maybe for jam?
Look at the hobnail rim.
I think everyone needs mismatched saucers.
Below is just a sample of the many I purchased.
Think gallery wall.
Think a muffin gift plate.
Think flowerpot coaster.
Think you must have some mismatched saucers because I have way too many.
My only restraint was purchasing only those with floral designs in pinks and blues.
That included most of them.
<sigh>
Well, I went digging for china and came home with bags and bags full.It took quite some time to clean it all.
Maybe I forgot to mention most pieces were covered in grime and sticky goo from price tags.
Before I leave, I must tell you Linda at Coastal Charm has invited me to drag my junk over to Shop Talk this Friday. If you have not visited Shop Talk, you are missing out on discovering interesting shops from all around. Linda features one each Friday.
You can plan your vacation trip to visit each and every one.
See y'all!

Oh wow! You found some great pieces. Some really unique ones too...like that vase. So pretty...:) Love the ideas for the mismatched saucers...:) SO...are you keeping or selling? Hard decision I bet! Have a happy Wednesday...Vicky
ReplyDeleteWow! You really did hit the jackpot! Yes they'd all me home with me right now!
ReplyDeleteI love the cactus planter, tiny elephants, and that Hazel Atlas apple jelly jar!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa, for letting me know it is Hazel Atlas!
DeleteI agree, who could resist that rooster!! And I would have had no idea what those amber pieces were. How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm at work and one of my macho shop mechanics was standing behind me as I viewed the photo of the blue plate and vase... he said "Ooh, those are nice". So see? You're even appealing to the beefy male set.
ReplyDeleteDang it, I'm five minutes to going to the outlet and now I'm going to drag home every vintage saucer I see. I don't know if I should thank you or thump you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo loving those pink roosters, and that hobnail edged plate is awesome. I have a weakness for floral plates (well floral anything really, but I have to stop myself) and the ones you found are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteGreat title! Love the pink rooster pieces and the planters. I think the apple jam jar is by Hazel Atlas, they made those and didn't always mark their stuff. Congrats on the Coastal Charm piece :)
ReplyDeleteLovely finds. I love them all
ReplyDeleteWow, I want to go thrift store shopping with you !
