Well I got the new year off to a great start today after hubby suggested we go out for a look at a centre or two. Went to a new shop in Carlton and found a pair of Vande salt & papper shakers in the "pending ebay sales cabinet". When I asked about them they asked for an offer and the deal was done. Not a common find so I was happy.

Then down the road to the Southern Antiques Centre and a look in a cabinet and a heart stopping moment. Recognised the shapes as I have a couple and saw the price tag at $30 for vases...asked to have a look and both signed MCP O Arfaras. Whoo Hoo   Round to the next stall and a Diana Art Ware vase made in the mid 40's the earliest pieces in a shape that I have never seen before...great price too. Another Diana vase for the glaze type, also cheap.

Then round the corner an unmarked Mexican and cart just waiting for me. They are Marie Gardner minus the stickers and the carts are a very rare find...so roll on 2013 coz I'm loving it.

The pics show all finds and I got my first ebay arrival today as well,

Hi Wilma,

I know it is rude to speak for others but I think nanny is tongue tied and while I am here I will tell you. She is coming to my house and no they are not for sale. She asked me if she could bring her camera and I said yes but I don't know what pics she will take.

If there is anything that you would like to see I am happy to post pics. What are you favourite potteries or what styles do you like?

If I have any I will post them,

Pip

PS I have added a pic of the Gardner set with the missing Donkey and a different Mexican

Great finds Pip, well done. I am green with envy, Nanny, but will be more than happy to see any photos you take 🙂

One day I will get to Sydney and invite myself for a viewing lol! 

cheers
