Gentle Friends, over the weekend I found a couple of super things..... here are some snaps...
... the first up would have to be this late 19th-century Japanese porcelain vase covered in birds and flowers with gilded highlights.. and a little blue vase made in the US I think in the late 40's...
... another view if the vase...
... and what I am calling the back side with the two little birds... I also found this great sterling bowl...
... made here in SF and marked Shreeve & Co., it was filthy and still had the residue of silver polish left in the decorative band about the lip...
... after about 5 minutes of polishing, I had most of the dried polish removed and the silver looking silvery again!! I think this is a waste bowl from a larger tea service.

Take care,
