Featured Pueblo Pottery Surprise

I recently bought this wedding vase at auction. Their description was rather generic. They stated it was signed, but did not include a photo of the signature or a description of it.






When I got it home, handling it while looking for a safe place to put it, I noticed something rattling inside. It was a delicate operation to get the things out, without scratching the polish. (For the women out there, it reminded me of a certain uncomfortable procedure we get used to.)



This is what it contained -



Note of advice - do not stuff important documentation into a wedding vase.

 

Oh, that is fabulous! Well done you!

Wow...even without the extras, a real treasure!

Love that vase. Can't speak to the roach clip, I didn't even know what it was in the photo.
Terrific pics too.

 

Sweet Innocence!

 

Double treasure! First the signature, then the note!

Nice looking vase. Very good call buying it!

 

Any among you have a worthpoint account, and could find what that one sold for?

 

Just some large forceps. Really.

 

@Kronos, if you'd be so kind.

That clamp looks like a 12" long straight hemostat, so I would think it would be a little unwieldy to use as a roach clip. BWDIK???

I am glad I am not the only one who uses surgical tools to do things around the office.

 

Thank you!
