Thrifting - James Joyce print, art photography, Wedgwood

-

 




It is odd how my "honey hole" shop almost never disappoints. I got this extra large shopping bag. There is no labels of any sort but its large, strong and good looking for my thrifting. All items I bought that day fit right in and there was room for more.






                                                                                


Cool looking and signed print of James Joyce. Print is in pop art style and you would not be surprised to find this as a street art peace. I think it is pretty iconic representation of loved Irish novelist and poet.

The print is pencil signed but hard to read. I did look around internet and found it to be by John Rooney.


I also found a good documentary about James Joyce

Great find.




I found two good large size shawls. I sometimes layer my table setting with shawls...these are great quality. And of course are great to use as shawls...tis is the season.







These two pictures are real large photos...well at least they are printed on photo paper, had a look.
They also have a sticker on the back of frame saying them to be by Robin Grace Photography. The website indicated on the sticker no longer seem to exist. I could not find more about Robin on the internet...
There was 6 of them at the charity shop but I was drawn to these two. 
These two are mor abstract artsy looking, others were Asian looking people photographed in Asian countries I think.




Found this artsy splashy colorful brass bangle. Could be Indian origin.











Wedgewood ashtray. Wedgewood is timeless and is and will be loved art pieces to decorate with.
Can be used as teabag holder or catching your rings in bathroom...etc.

I saw a Great Pottery Throwdown episode where participants were introduced to Wedgewood techniques and challenged to create some...not an easy task. Very intricate workmanship.

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...
