I love the Nouveau glasses, @johnnycb09 ! Is that a maker's name?

 

Yep,but Ive never figured out who they are!

 

Johnny, those are so cute - perfect for Easter or a spring luncheon! I like them lots better than the usual "painted tulip" glasses.

Does that label on the blue one say anything other than "Nouveau"?

 

Its just a remnant,not much else. If I remember correctly,some thought they were Japanese,possibly from the 1960s.Its one of those collections that just sort of happen ! Ive got 10,not 9 as Id thought! My sideboard and huge shelf above it are a tad cluttered!

 

Hey, Johnny, look what I found! It looks like maybe they're ROYAL DANUBE:

I went hunting today in the too-darned-heat and came home with a pile of clothes. A local charity thrift is closing down and most stuff was a dollar. A woman I know who runs a local consignment place came in after me and I handed her a bunch of vintage that was too cool to pass up but nothing I wanted to deal with. I picked up two shirts for myself (everything left was too big or too small) but friends made out like bandits.

 

I even saw an urn on the Roadshow once - the American one. Some GI packed it home as a souvenir. It had been in a French house during a firefight and the urn took a bullet meant for the soldier. His grandkids just wished he'd taken the undamaged one home too.

 

Got a piano, yesterday.




The moving wasn't that easy...
The house was build on a hill...(yes in Flanders!!) with a drive way climbing more then 10 degrees over something like 30 m, and not able to drive to the top.
And then the stairs....




Won't be doing much today! ;-)

 

Yay! Got a Brumiouse pot........

 

@kristiaan - That is a gorgeous piano!!

Do you play the piano? The auction house gets pianos & organs fairly frequently. Once in a while a baby grand that might sell for several hundred, but never anywhere near what they were originally or what they are even worth.

 

Haha, Davey will ask how much you have been paid to move it
Here in France nobody wants them unless it is a Steinway

 

It is a crying shame when you see a quality baby grand piano at auction sell for a few quid!

 

Yes, don't expect to get much from it, it is what it is.
I had the house to clear and the piano was part of the deal.
And no, I don't play piano, and do not intend to start it.
Just love the shape, it always ads something to a interior, even if not played...

 

$avers this morning, Craig Zweifel perfume for $3.99. Still haven’t cleaned the tape residue off.

 

Gorgeous!

 

Wow ! Now if I can only find out WHERE they were made!

Drool,drool !

 

I thought I had responded,but I dont see my post? Thank you ! I wonder if they were a limited thing,as theres scant others online (at least that I can find) ?

 

I used to play, many years ago. If I had that in my house I have at least two friends who would be clamoring to move in and share rent.(LOL) Baby grands attract musicians.

 

Seeing the steps reminds me of a Laurel and Hardy film of them delivering a piano up some steps. Does anyone else remember the film?
