[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 6491708, member: 4864"]First day in Paris. Couldn't make it to any flea markets, but dropped by a few antique stores and came out with some treasures. :) 35 euros for the huge Penca de Balangandan. 12.50 euros for the pitcher (can't make out the mark on the bottom, but it looks very old). And 10 euros for the hamsa, which is my favorite find for today. Looks like it might have mine-cut diamonds or other stones. Sadly missing a few, but still love it. There's a diamond-shaped hallmark, but since I don't have my loupe, I can't make it out. I presume it's a French or Moroccan silver mark. It's funny. Back when I was studying abroad a few years ago, I would've missed all this, but now that I know what to look for, I zoom right in on it.
