Another of Moms Madonna and Child

Sorry, this is all I have of this one. (for now)

 

My wife ask me to keep this one.

 

You mean another FIVE of mom's Madonna and Child. How do you want us to keep track of all of these? Perhaps, you should consider keeping them separate with different distinguishing features, so ALL of us can refer back to them and add to your knowledge base? Just a thought.

 

They were so many items. My brother made a table of pieces (the give away table) he thought had no worth, because they were cracked or missing an item (cup without saucer). His give-away table was full of treasures. ( and I mean really old stuff)

 

I took a blue and white ceramic vase off the table. (probably that piece on the left) I asked "what's wrong with this?" He said it had a hotel name on it. "Rex Hotel" I googled it. If I remember right it was from Saigon early 1930's. I thought it was great. lol

 

I can't see the piece, but hotel branded stuff can get pricey - Suggest you always try to sell something before you give it away!

 

I wanted to keep it all. LOL

 

This appears to be the Rex Hotel piece I rescued from the table. I found this in our China pics.

 

I would put $45 on it and accept an offer of $35. @MarcusE
Even $15 is better than no dollars.
Craigslist could be good for some pieces too...

 

This piece I grabbed off the table while walking out the door, because I just liked it. It has cracks on the rim. It is in my kitchen now.

 

It may belong on the table I really like it.

 

We originally photographed 100s of china pieces. I think we intended to ebay them or craigslist. But there were so many. It may be a summer project for the kids. I worry about breakage during shipping. I may have to "local pickup only in Memphis area."

 

Your wife has an eye for what is valuable in my opinion. Good taste at least. If I had to keep only one, that would be the one --- so I'm maybe biased!

 

I don't think the 'icons' are of much worth. They are both versions of the same icon which goes by (variations on) the name: “The Tenderness Icon of the Mother of God”. The one above, looks painted, but- uhm, sorry - is very poorly done. The one below, is a reproduction. All icons are in a sense reproduction, but I mean it's not a 'real' icon in the strict sense of the word.

 

This would be my pick, also!
