Thrift - Ben Seibel & Kari Stavangerflint

Made the rounds to some thrift stores after the crappy estate sales. Lately, I've been coming across a lot of Georges Briard but always in terrible shape. But this 1960's double welled gold glass tray is in great condition. In front of the tray are 4 Bodum glasses (fortunately, I have extra coasters)

Pair of Blue Delft Canal houses one still filled with liquor SOLD. And a rare to find a complete children set by Stavangerflint of Norway illustrated by Kari Nyqvist.

Passed on a set of Kliban cat glasses because I thought the price was rather high, was a mistake to pass up.

At GoodWill I picked up Americana Pyrex for myself. In the back is a flower power fabric tray in blues and greens. SOLD

Five Mikasa Duplex plates by Ben Seibel in the Dahlia pattern designed in 1971. They are heavy, good quality and in excellent condition. Where are the tea cups and the rest of the set?

Also a set of Rosewood and steel servers made in Japan. These are in mint condition and of excellent quality. SOLD

And a lovely little thin white Swedish porcelain bowl marked "Upsala Ekeby"made at the Karlskrona Porcelain Factory. Might be a sugar bowl? This is the first time I've ever found Upsala Ekeby in the wild.

Thrift - The Ryans Irish Green Tablecloth

Fitz & Floyd 1972 Democratic donkey mug. Pair of pristine Cafe Mozart coffee mugs from Vienna SOLD. Box of retro fireplace matches for mom (my parents are terrified of setting fire to things). Boyton cat mug.

Small hand signed "Janin Yoa" water buffalo figure SOLD. *Update: This is Raku ware made in South Africa and retails for $50, hmm.

Large collection of Georges Briard gold embellished glass dishes included a cherry & pit bowl that I'm currently using. Unfortunately, the celery & olive dishes are missing the attached chain and fork.

Nymolle of Denmark "Hans Christian Andersen's Traveling Equipment" pin dish.

Found this green tablecloth (folded in half) which mom laundered all the stains out. Mom thinks "The Ryans" might be related to her, yeshhh.

Estate: Just Two Things

Georges Briard "Woodland" Cheeseboard

St. Labre Indian School

Boy, this family run estate sale had a load of junk. Wasn't in the greatest neighborhood & they didn't spend money on anything. Thirty of everything. As in tiny bottles of lotion, staplers, shampoos, batteries, paperclips ect. The son running the estate said someone had shown up earlier & bought all the Christmas decorations.

Georges Briard "Woodland" cheeseboard with tile. Signed "Georges Briard" in gold on tile. Made in USA. We looked & looked for the knife but no luck. Very cute tiny pair 1960-70's salt & pepper shaker. Made by "St. Labre Indian School, Ashland Montana." I remember there was some controversy of the Indian school selling plastic tourist crap to the white man...
