Successful thrifting week - Silk, ceramics, wood etc

-


 



Underneath of all finds on main photo I have this tablecloth or maybe it is even bead spread...who knows.
Its thick and good quality and has elephants on it...Indian?
I think the thread might even be silk? There is no label and I am no textile specialist but it looks and feels fabulous. 
Stunning find.













This is fabulous red candle holder. It has carved eagles or cranes carved on the sides. It has also incised makers mark "Taelstone 1999 C " I could not find any info about but it or maker but looks beautiful quality to me and is heavy to hold one long candle and not fall over.












Handmade turned and carved mango wood jar.
Very nice indeed, to store anything inside really.










100% silk scarf by Tie Rack. Hand turned and stitched edge tell the quality oh it and I love its colors. The silk items ( like ties and scarfs ) were made in Italy.  
Company is currently for sale.







I could not resist this grumpy looking Santa. It is hand painted on porcelain for Blarney Collection.

I think that Blarney Castle Gift Shop now doubt makes collaborations with different producers and artists to stock their shop. This must have been a order for Christmas.




                                                                                
Then I found still with tags never worn this textile and leather crossbody purse. 

Roxy is a sporting goods brand founded in 1990 by Maritxu Darrigand. It has evolved to promoting and producing sustainable products for active women.

I was proud to find Kelly Sildaru being a Roxy girl under their winter / ski Snow team.






This is a wonderful bowl by Ballymorris pottery. It is only 15min drive away from where I live so I was thrilled to find it at charity shop for the fraction of price. There is no chips, cracks and it is fabulous very typical of Ballymorris Hannah Arnup style piece.

Epic charity shop pottery haul

 I have a "honeyhole" charity shop. All these ceramics is from one go. Why I titled this post "epic"? Majorly because of the lamp but all items are fab! The lamp I was drawn to it as if it was a big magnet there on the table. It's abstract artsy look is amazing, it's colors and it is tall and big and a statement peace and with very good price. Yes please, thank you! I had a quick look in the shop, it is inscribed and additional sticker remain.  McCluskey Pottery. Artist Sean McCluskey, Limavady in Northern Ireland. Have to tell you I had not heard about him before. Sadly when looking him up, he seem to have passed 13.02.2011. But his works live on their lives. Can use your imagination what travels this lamp has seen since its birth. Looking around internet there is not a lot of his work around and I would say from the things I've seen so far...this is the Crown Jewel of his work. I am so pleased of this find and I plan to enjoy it myself for a while unti...

Thrifting highlight: Judy Greene's pottery

  So, I have been thrifting this weekend and here is the haul. Judy Greene pottery. Its from her Connemara range. Here is her website: https://judygreene.wixsite.com/galway Now, on closer inspection I am not actually sure that the plate is Judy's although the glazes and colors are so similar. The incised mark on the plate is different than on the mug. But they go well together and I like their rustic look a lot. So, plate still remains a bit of the mystery. Bracelet and necklace Lady in the charity shop said it is graphite bead set. I never heard of graphite before...but it has dark grey and metallic look to it.  Wikipedia says:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite Sure looks like it. Also...what I know about natural stone jewelry is that natural stone feels cold to touch and this one surely feels cold. This jewelry set gives me modernist, futurist vibes. This metal candleholder brought smile to my face instantly. It is produced in Sweden by "Bengt and Lotta". I was so...
