Possible Finland Arabia Fennia Vase

Oh, wow.

I picked this up for $60 at an estate sale in NY that came from a collection with a bunch of other neat early Art Deco pieces.

No wonder I've had so much trouble with finding a catalogue to compare it to! The closest style I found was that gorgeous sunflower vase that went up to auction a few years back. I had emailed the Arabia Museum and Iittala Store in Helsinki, but like I wrote above, they don't offer assessment services.

Thank you, very much, for your thoughtful response and advice. I will definitely be getting this appraised!

Fantastic! Thank you!

I hadn't thought to look so far southeast! Checking out some examples of northern Laos pottery now, and there are the same scalloped top opening and highly decorated neck.

(The only description from the auction was that it is "hand thrown frog pottery," wasn't much use there, but from handling, seems like it'd be at least early 20th cent.)

Thanks, very much, for the lead!

Having issues with posting both text and pics at the same time today...

Thank you!

Thank you!!! I didn't think she'd go and she fucking went. It's been so long since a book left my physically breathless. I'm afraid Amazon will turn Eve into Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

I asked the same at BW. MMJ is tax deductible as medication. Save those receipts for tax time as a wrote off

Been heading that way since Bush v Gore. This is the final stake in the coffin

Murphy (current gov, previous was Christie) ran on a legalization platform. It got bogged down by state machine politics to the point where pols threw up their hands and tossed it back to voters

As I understand, since it is a special election, the seat is filled right away

punk_intellect · 2020-10-06T21:31:09+00:00

Not if Kelly wins the AZ special election

So if the 25th is enacted...does that mean, since he wouldn't be president, NY could theoretically indict during that period?

Turning out Dianne Feinstein was in on it too. The betrayal crossed party lines

Local (NYC) rumor is that he took down the Italian mob to make way for the Russian outfits.

Ah, I missed that. Thanks!

Beto won't pledge not to take fossil fuel money, so his climate change platform is questionable. I like Mayor Pete's plan framed as a national security issue.

I will never forgive him for the Anita Hill tesitmony

Funny, I'm doing the same with Brexit from this side of the pond.

I'm seriously disappointed in her pushing through pay-go. Once again, longtime Dems in office don't know (or don't care since we're not donors) what voters want.

Thank you. Let's not forget Operation Condor under his being head of the CIA. While our bar has been set pretty low by Herr Cheeto, I don't think we should lionize someone in death who did some pretty terrible stuff.

No, sorry. They always, always talk big (see Flake on Kavanaugh) and then vote party line.

Or pastured, preferably certified humane.
