The listing, Celebrating My 1000 Fans with this Lovely Antique From Estate Sale has ended.
Celebrating My 1000 Fans with this Lovely Antique From Estate Sale:) I went on the hunt for the perfect item to put on to celebrate my 1000 fans this Morning. Here is what I found at one estate sale. I believe the cherubs are salt and pepper shakers and the center dish is for sugar. Great for someone who loves tea related collectibles!!! This is made of a heavy metal and there is a patent # 07682 I did spend a little time looking on google images for something that resembled this but I could not find information. Very unique piece:) Thanks for looking. This will be shipped safely!!
Questions & Comments
Just amazing!!I'm always amazed by what turns up on here and this is no exception. This is probably a cast pot metal with a brass overlay. Yet another lost art. These kind of pieces used to be readily available and this one looks like it was very finely cast-the detail is great.What a sweet little precious treasure!
Thanks I am glad you like it. I try to find quality antique stuff when I shop. I avoid stuff that has noticeable seams in the metal or glass. Someone definitely put some thought and effort into making this. Thanks again the information helps us all be better PIckers LOL
I am not sure but I just checked to see if a magnet would stick to it and it did not stick. So it must be made of a non-ferrrous metal. I hope this helps you:)
Thanks fanned you:) I like your profile pic!! I had to work today and it was painful to drive by all the garage sale signs. LOL I got my fannie pack ready and I am heading out in the morning. I hope I find something cool for you all!!
My mom collects antiques. She says the center bowl was most likely for a condiment. Nice piece. We are watching. It is missing a spoon, but that's easy to replace
Thanks I have been lucky lately:) I live near some nice neighborhoods where it seems a lot of retirees are moving South and selling off a lot of their cool items!! I found a marble decanter with beautiful cups I will be posting in a little while and I met the owner and she gave me the back ground of the item:) I also found a set of sterling silver salt and pepper shakers. It was a awesome weekend.... subdivisions sales. My poor bank account LOL
:) I keep losing watchers I doubt I will reach 100 watchers on this one. Maybe you all will watch my Antique Book I still have a chance to make it to 100 on that one. So I can get my badge. I still do not understand what badges are for anyway.. LOL
Thanks Hi Waxman My boyfriend Jeff and you have done some transactions before:) I believe you won a wallet with 10 dollars in it. He is not on much anymore but he asks me if I see you sometimes. Now I can say I have... he says hello!!
Thanks so much!! I am so thankful for listia or my house would look like a hoarders. I love to shop and it is fun to find these neat items for you all. I must admit I took the pictures of this one and hid it away because I did not want to be tempted to keep it. LOL
Nice Find..Already a fan..Do the Cherubs come off the base? Imagine so if they are S&P shakers..i so could you take a pic of their bottoms..no pun intended..lol Thanks :)
i've seen one like this before and you put honey in the well and it had a glass spoon and the glass was smaller so the lid fit in the frame of the piece yes its beautiful
