  1. i like them very much!
  2. well thank you apostata - for your time and expertise. it was my feeling when i got it that they are pretty old.
  3. Thanks kwqd. the vase is 5.5 inches tall.
  4. I was looking at the base of this piece under a very bright light and i made out the words under it. It says 'Lolita' and the number 3 and very faintly around the edge, it has in script 'California'....
  5. Thank you Vinyl and Phil!
  6. This is a really interesting / wonderful tile! The dragonfly is really nice too!
  7. maybe. or maye just a spirit house with a little doll glued in it?
  8. i'm not sure i understand what you are saying apostata. ??
  9. Thanks Newfld!
  10. Newfld - that works - clicking gently and slowly tends to work well. thank you!
  11. Thank you Lizzy. that does make sense. it kind of reminds me of Banko.
  12. this is a pretty amazing sign!
  13. Thanks Newfld. i'll try again.
  14. can anyone tell me why i get an error message almost everytime i click on someone's posts?
  15. i have one just like it, but i didn't know that it was a humidor. Thanks!
  16. I think that these are pine needle baskets from the southeastern usa.

  18. thanks Kevin!
  19. beautiful painting!
  20. very interesting subject!
  21. This is one of their 'gingko leaf' pieces.
  22. thanks for this post! it helped me identify a pot i've had for a long time. there just wasn't room at the base for all the words on yours.
  23. Thanks enverybody. He had been sick for a number of years, so it was not a surprise. Kiva - añoranza! Esa palabra me tenía perplejo! I think a decent translation is 'sweet nostalgia'. posiblemente...
  24. great piece of repurposed rust! love it!
  25. This looks like a piece of pottery made on Awaji Island, Japan. The base is a little different, but i have seen some unusual bases on them too.
  26. This must have been taken in 1959. My sister and i shared the same birthday with him too! [i was born one year after her and 25 years after my dad].
  27. thanks Blammoammo!
  28. i think you're right. they really have mastered those crystal melts! https://www.etsy.com/shop/dock6potteryandtile/?etsrc=sdt&page=2#items
  29. thank you mp.kunst. i'll check them out.
  30. I think the framer did a nice job with this print. I used an old 1920s maxfield parrish-ish frame and a blue matte which brings out the same shade of blue in the print and the frame.
  31. i guess it's another kind of Canton enamel.
  32. So what kind of enamel would this be?
  33. thanks jscotto! i think it's a rare one too.
  34. these are really cool!
  35. great shape!
  36. That was a lot of work to remove the felt from the bottom of this and i don't think it revealed anything interesting. I should have left it w/ the felt on it.
  37. thanks dav. there is no wood in this. just ceramic.
  38. really?! wow. i had no idea. the red clay does look right. i'll look into that. thank you art.pottery.
  39. these are so great! i think i have one at the nursery...
  40. thank you jscotto! me too!
  41. thanks stuff! i hadn't seen that.
  42. i had a later one - probably around 68 - green with sissy bars and a sparkley purple seat!
  43. i brought this to the framers yesterday along with a nice 1920s Maxfield Parrish-style frame. I think it will look good.
  44. thank you kiva!
  45. who is the creator of the piece in the second photo? do you think it was really done in 1927? if so, then it would probably be a French surrealist, maybe?
  46. That is so exciting that they are moonworts! there are hundreds of species and they do go way back evolutionarily and many are endangered. Beautiful glass!
  47. thank you Dav and jscotto! yes, i think it is a sunflower and a cockerel!
  48. very interesting! it does remind me somewhat of works by Edouard Manet.
  49. Marianne Starck, i think you mean. i have a large charger she designed.
  50. oh! oh! oh! so good!
