Hohoho Treasure Hunting Thursdays: Thrift Store Shopping Off Schedule

This calendar week I did something I commonly never practise - I stopped into a thrift store on a twenty-four hr menstruum as well as fourth dimension that I commonly never practise - on a weekend night. I happened to live running an errand nigh i of my regularly frequented thrift shops, as well as hence I figured I powerfulness equally good halt inwards as well as encounter what they had to offer. It was busy, equally I had idea it would be, but I was surprised to encounter the shelves pretty good stocked. Check out what I found!

This lilliputian cherub vase or planter caught my optic correct away. It's definitely Art Nouveau inwards manner (check out the flowing, wavy lines of the base of operations equally good equally the petals of the yellowish flower) as well as I would justice it to live Edwardian or Victorian era. The bunnies at the bottom are unusual, as well as made me initially mean value that this was an Easter piece, but I actually don't know. I've seen ones where the planter component subdivision is egg-shaped, but this one...I'm non sure. The marker looks to live similar 2 arrows or lines that are imprinted over a missive of the alphabet C...so maybe German?

Well amongst a lilliputian flake to a greater extent than research, it turned out I was able to position this slice as from the factories of Carl Schneider, Karl Unger, as well as Hermann Hutschenreuther. Wow! The marker was used betwixt 1879 as well as 1886 from their manufacturing flora inwards Grafenthal, Thuringia, Germany. Cool.

The chipped fly likely brings the value downward (I paid.98 cents) but it's even as well as hence an interesting piece. I conduct maintain a habit of grabbing anything that is Art Nouveau, Art Deco, or Craftsman/Arts & Crafts style, as well as hence this i came domicile amongst me. If I knew it had no monetary value, I would perhaps occupation it inwards a mosaic. For now, it volition decorate my workshop.

Next I came across this...

I got excited when I institute this slice - the colors as well as pattern on this medium sized English linguistic communication transferware platter caught my attending correct away. I dear the fruit motif as well as the blueprint has a dandy Old World-verging-on-Nouveau experience to it. Now imagine this platter at a summertime picnic, filled amongst lemon squares. Yup!

I dear the fruit motif amongst the traveling vine, as well as I mean value they are peaches.

The background blueprint is beautiful too.

This maker's grade is from or as well as hence 1927.

This human face upward says, I desire to live inwards the middle of things, but at the same time, I desire to conduct maintain a nap!

Of course, I also conduct maintain to snap a photograph of the almost questionable things I encounter at the thrift store. This calendar week it was this pitiful molded plastic puppy clutching this giant red-orange Victorian boot.

But wait!...

There's more!

Lesson for the day: I'm non actually sure. I justice no thing what twenty-four hr menstruum or what fourth dimension you lot watch a thrift store, you lot never know what you lot are going to find.

Do you lot conduct maintain a treasure even out to tell?
