More than ten for sure. Someone here will know about this.
Yikes! Noooooooo! It's just beautiful! Don't sell it! But if she really wants to get rid of it, I know a collector in California that would love to receive a donation! LOL :D
Do you ship to Australia?
I agree with Amber & Stef!
We won't be the only ones either!
Fabulous Foval: "This heat resistant glass tea pot was made by H. C. Fry Glass Company in Rochester, PA. This company made complete dinner sets, tea sets and a large variety of heat-resistant oven glassware from 1916 to 1930 under a license from the Corning Glass Works."

See what I mean?
How about New Zealand?....:-)
augmntor! You're crazy!
lolllllllll....:-)
This is absolutely beautiful and worth SO much more than $10! I wouldn't sell it for under $100.
since its heat safe, it better come here to texas!!
Hi, please don't quote me on this to your wife, but I think that it would be insane to sell this for $100. Ten dollars? She must be joking. I think that this opalescent, Deco ensemble is worth a lot of money. And you'll save money on postage too if you ship the whole lot to Oklahoma. Don't listen to those folks in foreign countries - would cost a fortune to ship to them. Really, Craig's place is not the place. Regards, miKKo
Heloooooo, what happened to me in California?
Thank you, eye4beauty, we'll split the cups, and rotate the pot!
Oh, sorry, stefdesign! Couldn't forget you - we'll split the cups three ways - some how, and rotate the pot!
Wait! I was here first! Chicago is a nice centrally located place.
Hi, AmberRose! We can't give it to you - you'd give it away fast as lightning. That's what I meant about you and Bellin when I said some weeks ago that we ought to clone you two - you fill the world with goodness and beauty, and you share everything! Soon, you'd be running up a postage bill shipping fragile things all around the globe. Much better to keep it here.
I think you should put it on craigslist for $10. Just make sure it shows up on the South Florida board!!
Ha miKKo nice try. You could get in on my gift giving action but now I don't know...stealing my tea set...
I'm sure augmentor will be pleased that we took care of his wife's teaset for him! :D
As I am sure all the suggestions to break it up must sound ghastly to you!!!! if you send it New Zealand, I would never do this and I will invite all my new friends for a cup of tea...promise!...:-)
Let's flip a coin! Heads I win, Tails you lose! miKKO
First dibs!
You're too smart for me, eye4beauty! Right now, I need to answer an email I received from my old Latin professor. I'll put you in charge of the robbery, and I'll let you divy up the loot. Regards, miKKo
No fair! We need a six sided coin!
Nooooo!!.. guess what I just! happen to have one.... :}
Hi, stefdesign! I hereby do, and gladly, yield my full right of possession to a share of the opalescent tea set to you, in gratitude for your good cheer and generosity - and also because you have great taste.
Oh!no now I really feed bad...me too!!....:-)
Of course, you, too, inky! I don't own all of it, just part of it. This way there's more for you, too. I think this tea set would be the perfect thing with which to serve neroli scented tea on your terrace, under the moonlight, surrounded by fragrant white or blue blossoms. You are one of the few who could weave this magic!
Hang tight, inky. AmberRose gives everything away, anyway.
miKKoChristmas11 you just brought tears to my eyes what an absolutely wonderful thing to say, I curtsey to your kindness!.
Waving... over here AmberRose!!!.....:-)
inky, I just spoke the obvious. you are as gentle and kind as the opalescent tea set. and your flowers are lovely. don't change.
MiKKo you are making me, and my hubby (you is so Not a thrifter) laugh. You may have a present at any time, just let me know and I am happy to send. A laugh is worth it!
I wish I could come home after at the end of the day and find this many happy emails from C.W... how wonderful....lol....:-)
Goodnight, all kind souls with good taste! I hope that our fairy godmothers leave us all one of these under our pillows tonight! Regards, miKKo
Night miKKo x
Okay team, presents for all. Just let me know!
My thrill is the hunt, my fun is the giving.
Eye4, I thought you wanted the lighter???
Friendship?
Seriously, I would just send it to you. I don't spend more than a dollar, maybe two at most for anything. Therefore, no skin in the game. Easy to seem like Santa.
All good, night night CW.
Good night kind AmberRose!.....:-) x
As my kiddos say, kiss and hug.
Hi augmentor! Now they've gone to bed, does it glow/react to black light?
Sorry eveyone, thanks for all the posts. so it defanatly worth more than she thinks. SO I guess, I should put it on craig's list for $200.00 and let someone get a gift. I wont comment on all the tangent coversations, but love the passion.
well kids it on Craig's list
