6. Baldur wrote: my first car was a 1964 Buick Riviera, it was used, 14 years old and looked a lot older |
7. Baldur wrote: 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. |
8. Baldur wrote: 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. |
9. Baldur wrote: Would hunt in the resale shops all week and sell stuff on the weekends |
10. lilalee wrote: She had a cuddly, sultry voice. My car was 2yrs when I got it!!My parents had a Riviera, nice car, and big, luxury car! |
11. Baldur wrote: 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. |
13. lilalee wrote: 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 |
14. lilalee wrote: 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. |
16. mostblessedone wrote: 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!! |
19. Baldur wrote: 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 |
21. mostblessedone wrote: 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. |
25. Baldur wrote: 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 |
32. Baldur wrote: it has since been closed by the outraged citizenry. sigh. |
33. Baldur wrote: at one time I had a bit of amethyst moderntone, and some black cloverleaf |
34. Baldur wrote: mbo, I always check out the 'junk' stores wherever I go. I'm a bit notorious for finding old brass floor lamps. |
35. lilalee wrote: There are several nude beaches, private of course, near here. I can see Michigan from my front porch, and all kinds of nudies!! |
36. lilalee wrote: 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 |
39. Baldur wrote: anything. |
40. Baldur wrote: 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 |
43. Baldur wrote: Well lilalee I must get to bed, I have a very full day ahead of me. Have a great evening |
44. lilalee wrote: Thats too bad! Hope it was you who sent it off!! |

59. Baldur wrote: 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. |
60. Baldur wrote: When I went and graped the handled I immediately screamed 'YIPE!!!' as it was 350 degrees Farenheit. |
