    Didn't notice the mark at the fair, I just got it because it was a bargain, looked nice quality and I liked it :) Just thought I would share because I'm SO EXCITED! thumbnail_IMG_20220529_115921.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20220529_115938.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20220529_113111.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20220529_120002.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20220529_115953.jpg

    Looks like the Mikimoto mark, the M in an oyster shell. Mid-century!

    Ooh, you lucky duck! Great find :)
    You obviously have such a great eye for a quality piece that you don’t need to look at the back!

    I hope I have pictures.I gave it to my DIL she is in Germany. Oh I hope I have pictures. I will check my massive collection of pictures in my phone/iPad. I was debating what I should post next as my company has now left.

    A good amount of mine was inherited. However, I can not pass up a good thrift store to see what lingers…living in Florida, I tend to find nice old stuff.
