January 2023's Fourth Haul of Antiques and Untiques

Whew, I am astonished at the numbers of fantastic items just keep entering my Almighty Garage of Awesomeness.

These will, sooner or later, appear in my Etsy shop.

Here's a few that are already there:

        We be having Kitty Cucumber!! SOLD

Ellie decked out for a slumber party

Kitty Cucumber taking a bubble bath  SOLD

Kitty Cucumber and J. P. Buster shooting marbles

My aforementioned Almighty Garage of Awesomeness has several more Kitty Cucumber figurines hiding in boxes.

I'm still sad that they don't make these anymore, and I wish I knew why they stopped.

=====================================================================

Next up, our marvel of marvels

To wit: faux miniature bonsai tree with jade leaves, berries, and box.

The red berries aren't jade.  I think they're some kind of synthetic material.  My hubs insists it's some kind of stone or mineral.  The tendrils are some sort of wire.

 This is mind-bogglingly beautiful in person.

======================================================================

Enamel on copper!

I've had dozens of these over the years, but nothing this cool.

======================================================================

 

  This one's signed Annmarie Davidson. SOLD

=========================================================================

 

Lastly, but thousands of miles from leastly, we have this adorable 1940s doll: SOLD

=========================================================================

January 2023's Third Haul of Antiques and Untiques

2023 is already shaping up to be EPIC, in terms of antiques and untiques.

Here's today's collection:

Direct to you from Bavaria:

to wit, gorgeous H & C Selb Heinrich 'Marcella' vases 

'Handgemalt' means 'hand painted.'

======================================================================

bear it !

I've never been a fan of bears, but this one, dating back to around 1930, and made by   Mosaic Tile Company, really appealed to me.

                                    He's mostly charcoal colored, with a bit of green here and there.                                  He's also in FLAWLESS condition.  And weighs a ton.

==========================================================================

   next up, one of the loveliest cloisonne vases I've ever seen!  SOLD

Note that those white spots are just glare from my camera's flash.

========================================================================

 

History's Coolest Hand-Tooled Clutch Bag!!

Even more awesome in person!!!!!
