Not Everyday is a buying experience at Goodwill

I got this lovely vase today at the antique mall.

The dealer who knows what I like offered this to me at a good price.

I could not resist. 

This is a porcelain vase.

It is signed, “B Welsh ’83” on the bottom.

It has turnip and rutabagas (?) on it.

Quite an interesting subject matter on a vase.

Fun shape.

Here it is signed – Welsh / Fuller

I wonder who Fuller is?

Anyway – this reminded me of another piece of work that I have had for years – that I probably got at Goodwill or a yard sale.

 This is definitely NOT porcelain.

But this is definitely COOL.

Nice, eh?

I like how the artist embraced the hole in the clay by drawing circles around it.

Different signature than usual.

Maybe someone can tell me why.

PS. I did go to Goodwill today. 

Here is PROOF.

I know.

Icky.

Gloomy Bear Photo for today, too…

There ya have it.

 

A new President & a Great Find! Oh, what a day!

My lucky day at the antique mall was yesterday.   Looky what I found.  A great piece by a great NW potter – Bennett Welsh.   This is signed and dated 1980.  The artwork is just fabuloso!

There are cats scampering across the top of this cookie jar – and this fat cat just sitting there -looking at you with bright green eyes.

This side has a big hunky looking feral cat with something on his mind…

I forget sometimes to look for goodies at the antique mall – I try (repeat: try) not to collect too much stuff anymore – and if I look – I might just see something that I think I must have…

About the election – I only have one thing to say:

“WOOO _ HOOO!”
