    Hi,
    My favorite Wedgwood black and white cigarette urn committed suicide last night.
    I would like to replace it as cheaply as possible. Here is a photo of the blue one. thCA9E9HIJ.jpg

    Sorry Greg, if I had one I would send it to you. If I find one, I'll let you know. About how high is it?

    Hi Milt,
    I search ebay every day I want the BLACK and white not the blue.

    AH! Sorry. Rushing to get out of the house.
    I saw a dark one... Brown maybe?

    How about ETSY and Ruby Lane?

    hi Greg, you might struggle a bit to find another as Wedgwood haven't used the black variation for quite some time, is this the small one? give me an idea of size so i can keep an eye out for you. As i am in the UK i may have a better chance!

    Hi Milt,
    I check all of those places on a regular basis. That is why I turned to see if any of you guys see one. I have 14 in my "collection" I need (desire) the wine colored one and now I need a black one with white trim. they are appoximately 3½" high most people think they are little vases.

    I'll gladly keep an eye (or two, even) out for this for you, Greg.

    "I would like to replace it as cheaply as possible" did you have an upper limit price in mind? I'm pretty darned tight with my money and I'd hate to pass up one because it seemed too expensive in my frugal mind. - Kat

    Hi Kat,
    I would like to keep it under 25 dollars including shipping if I could.
    Komokwa,
    I would not have cared so much but I just had work done on the dang car.:eek:

    Search for 'black basalt' if you want the black form of jasper ware.

    So glad you said that .... I'd have hesitated at anything over $5.00. Did I mention just how frugal I am? :D

    Hi,
    Forgot to say I am willing to pay 400 for the wine colored one.

    I will keep my eyes open for those when I start hitting yard sales again. We're still waiting for the snow to melt. :yawn: Two summers ago, I bought a lot of Wedgwood for crazy low prices. One estate sale sold me 15 pieces for $30!

    Hi Mill Cove,
    Thanks a lot. I hope the snow does not melt toooooo quickly or flooding will occur.
