Our first snail,should go well with the rest of the zoo ::) ;D ;D( another mooching special)

Hello Keith - didn't know you did Wedgwood - do you collect just the animals or everything?
-
Anything and everything Paul,if it's glass it's mine ::) ;D ;D
-
Oh no it isn't.....if it's an animal, it's mine Keith!! :grrr: Sorry, but that is a given!....Except fish, I don't 'do' fish! ;)
-
can only think you live in a castle Keith :24: :24: - Apart from the occasional animal in the charity shops, Wedgwood is a factory I really don't see outside of ebay or professional antiques sources, unfortunately - but I think it's one to collect for the future if you can find it at sensible prices.
-
If only I did live in a castle just think how much glass I could get ::)
Rosie; who gets there first gets it! >:D >:D ;D ;D,this was another piece from my private viewing in the storeroom of the local charity shop :o

it's rare to be able to persuade them to let you 'out the back' - back occasionally they will, and I've had the odd gem that way. It's a good job we don't live too close - you imagine.........you, me, Rosie, Roy, etc., and one or two more all vying for the same charity shops :24: :24:
Talk of the devil, I went out this morning after we had commented, and found an RSW 60 in a charity shop - sadly with a little nick out of the rim - so she gave it to me for £2. Stopper has matching No., so provided I turn it round the other way, the chip can't be seen - mind you, it's a bit boring - not remotely like the Wedgwood cut decanters.
-
Hmmm....I'm not sure I would run all the way to the Midlands for a snail.......but a Wedgwood Otter....now that's another thing!
I'm not going to get into the 'going in the back of the shop' conversation....... :usd:
-
Otter,gotter one of those somewhere,grey I think,that was from a charity shop if I remember right ;D ;D,I won't mention the Picasso I found in the back of the shop :o :o
-
Not a Wedgwood Picasso Kieth! Wow! :clap: The things you find at the back of the shop!! :mrgreen:
About the otter.....I meant the Stoat......I gotta Otter too!
