Hi Glassies one and all!
Been a long time since I stopped in, hope everyone is doing well?
Julie, glad to hear you're happy with your sales at the big flea market. Sorry to hear about the crowds getting thinner everywhere though. A sign of the times for sure.
About 5 years ago a couple of our larger consignment malls closed up shop, and I really thought it was the end for folks like us - but in the last 2 years they have reopened with new owners, and other smaller shops have opened up as well. I think it's more that people aren't shopping on eBay for treasures as much as they are locally. To everything, there is a season, and all that.
BUT - we still get out there and buy. Of course. Once it's in your blood, you can't NOT go at least look, lol.
Here's a piece that Jerry found last weekend, that I just got a few photos of. We're thinking German or Czech, but totally not sure. It's 13" in diameter and 4.625" deep. Cased white on the bottom, clear on the top, with enamel decoration on the inside. Faded gold decoration on the bottom, ground pontil. Glows like crazy under UV light. Any ideas, anyone?
