Thrifting humankind icons Jimi Hendrix, William Shakespeare

-

 


"Do buy or not to buy" I asked myself multiple times when

 spotted this Belleek Shakespeare bust. It was most likely the most expensive item in whole charity shop.

I decided to: Buy!

The stamp beneath dates it to 1980-1993.

Vintage and in very good condition. No discoloration, chips or cracks.

Star by Julien Macdonald gin glasses.
Just looking at them assures that these are quality glasses. Super lovely pink color on them.

Sadly Pandemic got Julien Macdonalds firm:







                                                                                

This small quirky smiling leopard charmed me...I already have one small ceramic critter coming to work with me in my laptop bag...he has a companion now. 
This leopard is signed below Trzask Ceramics that turns out to be a family business in Warsaw, Poland.

Good to learn about this pottery.





Another pottery piece remains mystery. There is no markins on it and is most likely someone project but I think their glazing turned out fab...I love this muted pink and green glaze combo.

That bowl has "je ne sais quoi" 







I have seen this image of Jimi Hendrix on the internet in the past but when it stairs at you in real life and it being this big format.
This is striking picture and now I learned that this is by Chris Burns.



What a talented artist. The details on it are amazing, specially comes clear with this kind of large scale print.









Picked up three necklaces, this one being cute crab that has aurora borealis rhinestones. Its so cute...had smile in my face.









                                                                                



This one is costume jewelry necklace with plastic beads imitating I believe chinese "Peking glass" or cinnabar beads. 










Better quality heavy enamel beads bracelet, goes well with above necklace and looks fabulous.










                                                                            
This print just charmed me with rocking horses.
It is numbered and signed but I cant read out the artist name. Work is called " Rock on".


Well, that concluded my two weeks pickings from different charity shops.

I actually forgot to include one thing...but I leave for next time.

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...
