Thrifting star find Mary Southard vase

Image
  Lovely haul from the weekend. I found this old original oil painting that charmed me. It is really old based on the back as I think it is painted on board and the frame is old and secured with nails. I love this naive scene of children at the mill wheel. I can imagine someone spending their time painting it...and Id say its from 1900s. Lovely boho bangle on brass and colorful chips on the black back round. Wearable with anything really. Another boho vibe candle holder from Safi, Morocco. It is known region for pottery for centuries. I found this interesting video on YouTube https://youtu.be/X5c67TSKnzA?si=KMDhX7JSVDT_9i7L I have a quite collection of Interior Design books by now. But I so enjoy to browse them so I keep picking them. I still have little more space for them...but soon I need to start listing them on Ebay. This one is by Carol Meredith https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10245253-room-by-room                                                                              

Could this be Murano lamp? Epic thrifting

Image
  OMG. I loooove this lamp that I found at charity shop. It is not signed but it is European origin because of its EU plug...looking at the cord and switch it looks vintage 50s, 60s. I did Google Image search and 2 options...one almost identical was sold in the past at Poshmark and titeled as Murano. Sadly didnt saw the price it was sold for. Other similar lamp picture came up and said it was Polish origin. If its Murano...Wow. I consider it Epic find anyway because its so beautiful how those blue and green swirls show from white glass when it is lit up. Photo does not do it justice. Other art glass find on same day. Cute and beautiful color small Mdina glass bud vase.   https://www.mdinaglass.com.mt/en/aboutus/aboutus/1/about-mdina-glass.htm . Then I found this amazing coffee table book "The Painted House" by Graham Rust. He is a master of wall murals...so the book shows his designs. They are AMAZING.
