The remark is often heard; there’s no more bargains to be had. Well, I beg to differ!
I had 15 minutes to fill in before the bus arrived, & decided to check out a local antiques establishment nearby the bus stop. Probably I last looked in there in late February. Anyway, I soon spotted this pair, & when I found out the price, they came home with me on the bus. I would have been perfectly happy with one at the price! Fairy lamps are so rare, & I’d not seen a pair for sale before at any price.
So here we have a larger sized dome & cup in a classic Welz decor of pink stripes with a swirled rib pattern.
Late Victorian era, Bohemian origin.
I’m counting these as a late birthday present (big day was on Monday).
nothing to do with them being pink of course :)
LOL, Bernard! :-)
The pink didn’t hurt!
I think Peggy might enjoy these too…
Fabulous find!!
Infinitely better than the boot you were manifesting, lol.
Many thanks, Craig, & nice to see you here!
I could not believe my luck when I saw these…
Wow22, that definitely made me laugh! I was going for the pink striped boot & ended up with two fairy lamps instead - definitely glad my manifesting was a little off! :-)
Congratulations! I certainly am enjoying them and your good fortune. Plus they look to be in perfect c0ndition too. The gods were with you...........
Much appreciated Peggy, & thanks so much for your lovely sentiments! The luck I’ve had with my collection over the years has been a source of joy in hard times, & I’m always happy to share that joy with likeminded folks!
