For over a year now, I have been going to a monthly auction in the nearby town of Tewkesbury. There is usually one or two items which I fancy. This past Thursday, there were a few items I had my sights on and I won them without having to go overboard on my bidding. Here are some photos of what I won.
This is a small salt cellar in the shape of a Viking ship. It has a glass insert and is stamped on the bottom with some sort of cathedral or university crest. I need to get out a magnifying glass to read what it says.
This is a silver inkwell with a beautiful porcelain lid.
Finn purchased an ink pen and ink in Venice and has been asking for an inkwell.
I think I found a good one.
This is the cutest little Chinese rickshaw all in silver.
Even the seats are textured and the wheels spin.
Cider and yeast flagons - a must have item for the Cotswold homeowner
This is my favorite flagon. The top portion says: "To buy, to sell or make use of this bottle is illegal. Please return bottle when empty - 1951." In other words: RECYCLE!
In addition, I won two tea sets for way cheap - six cups, saucers and tea plates in each set (one of which I will probably donate to the local thrift shop because even though it's nice - just not my style) and a set of cherry wood nesting tables for 50 GBP! The tables are newer and came with the original receipt with a price of 260 GBP.
