$24 USDScenic China Bowl
Collectibles:Decorative
This serving bowl is made of china, and measures 10 inches across. It is painted pink around the border, and has a Scenic view of a Country Church in the middle.

It is free of chips or cracks.

$45 USDMoveable Enamel Charm: Dutch Boy and Girl Weather House Charm
Jewelry:Vintage:Charms
As long as I have loved charms, I have not seen this one before. You may see a picture of it on page 133 of Joanna Schwartz's book about Charms and Charm bracelets. As a travel souvenir charm, this one is striking. The Dutch Boy and Dutch Girl are enameled. This is a moveable charm: they swivel in and out of the house. The detailing on the charm is quite nice. This is a model of the Weather House, in which one comes out if it will rain, and one comes out if it is fair skies. This is a little ...
$110 USDOld Flow Blue Ladle
Antiques
This old ladle is big enough for a punch bowl. It is 12/5 inches long. It is heavy ironstone earthenware witha flow blue pattern. The inside of the ladle bowl also has some reddish-orange and green glaze highlights. The only mark is an old script "F" on the bottom of the bowl. The age is apparent in a few stained craze marks on the curve of the handle. I don't have the name of the pattern. There are gilt highlights on the handle as well.
$35 USDVintage Blue Rhinestone Bracelet
Jewelry:Vintage:Bracelets
This is a lovely flexible blue rhinestone bracelet. The stones are three different kinds, all prong set. The center row are cabachons, alternating between round and rectangular. The middle rows are small round faceted blue crystals. The outer rows are round cabachon in the same blue as the center. I am offering this as found, as the clasp is not original.

It is a petite 3/8 inch tall.
$24 USDWells Sterling St Vincent Academy Ring Charm
Jewelry:Vintage:Charms
What a neat charm. It is marked Wells Sterling, and represents a School ring. It has the logo for St Vincent's Academy. Most likely, this refers to the all girl's school in Savannah Georgia. The only other Well's Sterling charm that I have found was for the Naval Academy at Annapolis. One would think it would have to be a prominent school to have charms made by Wells. The ring is marked sterling, as you can see in the photos. It has a citron colored stone set.
$24 USDSterling Silver Moveable Wringer Washer Charm
Jewelry:Vintage:Charms
This vintage charm is marked sterling silver. It moves; the handle rotates. This is, of course, the old hand wringer for laundry. The charm is 3/4" tall. I date this to the 40's or 50's based on the delicacy of the workmanship.

$20 USDVintage Amber Crystals and Rondelle Earrings
Artisan Jewelry:Earrings
I made these earrings from crystal faceted stones salvaged from an old string. I would estimate the age on the crystals to the 1950's. The color is a light golden amber, which is very pleasing.
