Beautiful and surprisingly contemporary to today's tastes!
wow very stunning vase and very beautiful, i bet you had a lot fun this weekend finding these beauties:)
Hi Cogito, yes I agree with you they do fit in with todays tastes.
Hi Belllin68 , I got these just as the fair opend the rest of the very long day was sllloooww.... I only sold one thing right at the end of the day to a mate who I am sure felt sorry for me. I try to sell a little at this montly collectors fair and on eBay . this is so I can buy the things I collect . Sort of a house rule that I have to finance my collecting . I also bought some old bottles which I find quite interesting .
i know how that is ozmarty, trust me on that one. and ebay is getting really expensive these days to sell anything, and now the us goverment is going to be 1099 everyone who is selling a lot stuff on ebay for taxes ,so now its going to get really expensive and i just dont think ebay is even cost effective anymore , i think everybody is not really making or just barely breaking even anymore.
Gorgeous!
Beautiful oz !!
WOW!! I need a button to the left of LOVE for SUPER LOVE. These is just spectacular. I am just blown away by the beauty. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing, Mich
