Featured Look at me! I'm a pottery collector!

lol i like your little duckie Gila.......I had a little luck at a garage sale saturday too! I was working and it was on my route, I saw a glimmer of colored glass, so I had to look. I spent $32.00, but came out with a Tiffiny Sterling Necklace ( In original box) It's a letter K small by some famous chick ( parelli, peressi?// something like that.) 2 jadeite D handle coffeee mugs and a Nutcracker animated music box wich has four different animated scenes. Its a big circus tent looking thing. its pretty cool. I was stoked when I looked up the Tiffany Necklace and saw they are selling in the mid $ $100's up to $279. WOO HOO!
had a ton of yard sales here last satuday. too bad I had to work!

 

Elsa Peretti!

 

I'm on it!

 

Awesome, Mikey!

 

3 of them on eBidet right now.....
4 on Etsy.

 

YESSS!

 

Thanks all! yes i was stoked. I have never found a piece of Tiffany at a yard sale. i paid $20 for it. I kind of suspected it could be fake, but when I looked at it after I got home....I realized that the hole in the K is so small that you could never take it off the chain. The hole is just big enough for the chain to go through. Then I looked it up on eBay. I couldn't believe what they were selling for....I don't know if I'm going to sell it.....or gift it to my sister Kathy. I'm tempted to sell tho....

 

LOL Gila..... you just crack me up!

 

Thats the name! Thanks Bakersgma!

 

But those are captive ones. I want to find one in the wild.

 

LOL!

 

Nice find. 1st piece of McCoy. Your safe so far. It's not a collection until you have 3

 

Ahhhhhh... one down, two to go!

 

You can do it

 

One warning - prepare for a lifetime of dusting!

 

I've got the Ivy teapot, creamer and sugar too!

 

They're one of my favorites - finding the matching vase at an affordable price took some effort. I've only been able to obtain three of the stretch animals: horse, goat, and lion. I did see a little herd of three horses, though, in a showcase at a mall in Indianapolis this past weekend. Horses are probably the most common and affordable. I'd like to get one of each animal but I may not live that long!

Ah, I was wondering if that was a matching item.

I got the teapot for $5 at a small yard sale in an upscale neighborhood. Took a few years to run across the C&S for $10/the set at another sale (where I specifically went looking for plants! )

Good luck with the animal search!

 

I have been to the mountain-top...

 

I love duck figures.
