Featured Last of the year

Hi folks

a few bits and pieces i picked on on my supposed 'xmas presents trip'

as you can tell i spent a bit more 'time' on the thrifting

the glass including the whitefriars was on a pound giveaway shelf (no bull)with 2 old antique green glass stoppers (forgot to picture)

the enamel thing is weird but cool, don't think chinese

more to follow....

 

don't ask me why........

 

I can see why u were drawn to the Jay print........ a lot going on !!!

 

also with the sun coming out so spectacularly.......a good time to photo the other whitefriar bits (the right way around this time)

 

Like the brown vase a lot.

 

yep thats ones glass as well bud, no markings at all.......think maybe czech

 

think the bubble glass must be crystal with those colours shooting off

 

That rocky looking glass vase/bowl (photo above the brown vase) looks just like one my parents had. I think 1980s -- ittalia? maybe.

 

I'd have gone straight for the choochoo too. My late dad was a rail nut, and the coal lump doesn't fall far from the clinker pile.

 

yeah i'm pretty sure that clear rocky one is whitefriars as well kworld (really nice quality as with the reds)

 

has the seam down the back you usually find on it as well

 

I'm thinking what a lovely Christmas Eve display you could make by putting tea lights or votive candles in some of those.

Why does the dog thing look oval from the back but not from the front?

 

yeah the red ones are for candles......wait fork handles...wait

the enamel doggie is yep cone like

 

He also looks festive. Think he would make a nice Christmas ornament with a loop attached.

 

Very nice finds, charlie. Love the doggie.

Very much like the Kosta Boda "Snowball" tealight holders I have. I got them as a teen in the early 70s, for helping out at a posh dinner party.

 

The dog is a lid. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4341917802/dog-shaped-trinket-box-chinese-canton
