 lilalee, you mentioned Hall china briefly yesterday. I used to hunt for the art deco refrigeratorware they did, Covered water pitchers, leftover containers, Found them all fascinating.

 Still have a couple water jugs. It's amazing how many of their teapots I've sold. I used to supplement my income when I was a young man by selling antiques at the flea markets.

 Would hunt in the resale shops all week and sell stuff on the weekends

 I remember buying a red donut teapot for an outrageous $5 (a lot for me in 1978). I admired it in my kitchen for a few weeks and sold it for a princely $35.
12. Baldur wrote:
 It was far from luxurious by the time i got it, and quite a gas guzzler. But the price was right and I needed transportation.

 Hall china is unique,I have a few left, but I too had to sell, when I was single!! Then I'd go to estate sales, and head for the kitchen and

 basement!! Love all that stuff, Did flea markets one summer! Fun and interesting!! Do you have any Roseville?
15. Baldur wrote:
 Before buying any Fiestaware I was buying a related line called oddly enuf 'Riviera'. Also made by Homer Laughlin but lighter in weight, square with rounded corners.

 The roof may be rusted, but that is one cool car! Now I need to go look up Hall china.
17. Baldur wrote:
 Only 2 patterns of Roseville so far, I like the pre-1950 pieces before they got very spacey. I have a bit of Roseville Florentine and a single glorious piece of 'Dahlrose'
18. lilalee wrote:
 I've done that too!! Buy, sell! Can't keep it all! I went to a sale not long age, they had over 30 teapots!! All were chipped, cracked!! I think they put liquer in the pots and got tipsey!!

 lol it's amazing where these conversations go. mbo look at their stuff from midcentury to get a good idea of their range
20. Baldur wrote:
 Wish I could afford Roseville 'Sunflower' or even possibly 'Egypto' but it would by just pure luck to get that now

 Okay, I'm back Hall china is very cool. I will have to watch for it when DH and go antique browsing, which is one of our favorite vacation activities.
22. lilalee wrote:
 It is so interesting to see this old china, and how it was used. It had to be the cats meow for women back them!!
23. Baldur wrote:
 I love the 'Juvenile' china they did, ... maybe someday I'll get some
24. Baldur wrote:
 I just love to collect, it's like a mental condition in some ways. I enjoy hunting for stuff, completing sets.

 about 20 years ago I decided I needed something more formal so I selected an older Spode pattern, nothing too ancient, this one was from the 1920s
26. lilalee wrote:
 I also collect Moonstone, and love that one too! I have a parfum decanter, that was my granmom, still smells of her parfum!!
27. Baldur wrote:
 but I found the first few saucers at the 'Salvation Army' thrift store, it got me started
28. lilalee wrote:
 I'll have to look that one up! Maybe if I see it....
29. Baldur wrote:
 LOL Robert has a couple pieces of moonstone that were given to him as gifts. He really isn't into antiques but safely stowed them away in a cabinet.
30. Baldur wrote:
 the Spode pattern is called Sorrento
31. Baldur wrote:
 anyway they gave Robert that particular depression glass because of the name. The group of them spent many a summer day at RI's only nude beach which was called Moonstone beach

 it has since been closed by the outraged citizenry. sigh.

 at one time I had a bit of amethyst moderntone, and some black cloverleaf

 mbo, I always check out the 'junk' stores wherever I go. I'm a bit notorious for finding old brass floor lamps.

 There are several nude beaches, private of course, near here. I can see Michigan from my front porch, and all kinds of nudies!!

 We have some friends that are nudist. My husband and I aren't interested!! The sand has shifted!!!
37. lilalee wrote:
 I googled Spode and Sorrento, I have seen it here, but not much. Alot of pottery, and Roseville, as It's made in S. Ohio
38. Baldur wrote:
 I have been to nudist events and actually I find it a bit boring. The nudity is a novelty that wears off when you sit in a hot tub with a group of people you cannot find anything to converse about with, and as it should be apparent I can talk about almost

 anything.

 The piece of Sorrento that I'm hoping to find next is a replacement gravy boat. The one I had met an untimely end on Thanksgiving day
41. lilalee wrote:
 Well cloths on, or off, some people don't have the ability to converse!! A lost art!
42. Baldur wrote:
 I have a very early Copeland/Spode pattern called 'Denmark' slowly accumulating. That's a tough one even eBay rarely has any. That pattern was discontinued in the mid-1860s

 Well lilalee I must get to bed, I have a very full day ahead of me. Have a great evening

 Yes, I was personally responsible for the gravy boat's death. Thinking it best to prewarm it before dinner I put it on the back of the stovetop while finishing the dinner preparation.

 When I went and graped the handled I immediately screamed 'YIPE!!!' as it was 350 degrees Farenheit.

 I droppede it the 2 inches back onto the stove top and the gravyboat explode into fragments.
