Specutative buys - Aseda Jack in the Pulpit vase?
« on: August 12, 2011, 01:41:59 PM »
Hi.  For the first time since I joined the GMB I found some glass items in a charity shop that I thought looked familiar from my constant internet browsing and thought I'd take a chance.  I've had a look around the web and I'm pretty sure this one is ASEDA.  It is not quite 10" tall with a smooth, flat base.  Base is clear with bubbles and the stem is green.  If it is ASEDA, they seem to be pretty ubiquitous and ten a penny (I paid a bit more than that though!).  Can anyone confirm/deny please?

Thanks.

(PS - sorry about the crumpled sheet background - it was all I could find!)

It was a good five minutes really.  They were all in the same section of the charity shop and I hardly even swithered!  I've got a feeling they may have all been donated by one person.  My idea was to buy and hopefully sell on, but I think I'm in love with the clear one (2nd buy).

Swithered must be British English cos the spell check has underlined it - interesting!?

Thanks for looking Rosie.  Hopefully I'll get some input.

You have to be careful 'swithering' near glass Nancy...it can take you unawares, and before you know where you are, you are paying for the one you knocked over!  :thud:

"Swithered"?  :huh2: Possibly relatively new slang, because I've never heard the word.

I swithered about posting but...  It's an old word, probably Scottish as my grandmother used it freqeuntly.
