The Last Thing That You Acquired #48  

I could not locate any "boring kitchen items" and bought these pieces:
1. Homer Laughlin China Company 2011 Fiesta 75th Anniversary Christmas ceramic ornament
2. Pewabic Detroit 2009 Snowflake Christmas ceramic ornaments
3. Tiffany & Company crystal box
This is good...

@ Zephyr. Your hedgehogs certainly look legit to me. Here is a guide on how to spot the real stuff: http://www.modernviennabronze.com/walter-bosse-news/authenticating-your-....
And the 12 - 0 on your arabia teapot is indeed supposed to be the production date at MM - YY format. Unfortunatly, I really have no idea what the 0 stands for.
Here is the Arabia stamps index: http://www.arabia.fi/en/Arabia-Story/COLLECTING-ARABIA/Factory-stamps
I have looked at the stamps of my Arabia Finland items. Contrary to what they say, they have continued to use the date on the 1964-1971 stamps. The differences between the 2 stamps (49-64 and 64-71) are not obvious if you cannot compare them with your own eyes... the later stamps being a little smaller and the letters somewhat thicker.
On the 1949-1964 stamp, the word Arabia measures 1,9 cm (at the base).
On the 1964-1971 stamp, the word Arabia measures 1,6 cm (at the base).

Can someone help me ID these 2 recent purchases?
* The first one is a wooden candle holder I bought on the street in Copenhagen to what seemed to be an homeless guy. It was painted in white but the paint was in such a bad condition that I stripped it, sanded the wood and oiled it. It is marked with a 'made in sweden' stamp and the brand sticker. The word on the sticker means trademark in Swedish...
* Second one is a little glass vase I bought for 1€ at a garage sale. It is obviously hand made and the glass is pretty thick. Because of the bubble, I tend to think it is kosta boda. Can anyone confirm?

Not for everyone...
an orange pair of Ward Bennett swivel lounge chairs. In pretty excellent condition, a few rubs on the corners.

Pillow Talk.
I bought these toss pillows last year to freshen up the terrace, but brought 'em home and didn't like. This year I like them just fine. Down filled, no broken beaks, made in the USA, Scotch Guarded for spills. hi.
Pillow talk,
Aunt Mark
ps. hi
pss. the tye- dyed yellow pillow smells gamey, sorta like a _______. Just sayin'.

modernefamilie,
The Pearsall chair that I have is a complete gut job. The fabric, foam, pirelli straps all need to be replaced. The walnut base also needs to be refinished too. Unfortunately, I have already sold this project chair to a friend of mine. Usually I would rehab this chair myself, but I have to many projects underway right now, so I decided to just flip it. I asked my friend who bought the chair if he would be interested in selling it to you, but he declined. I am sending the Pearsall chair and a Pearsall table I sold him to Los Angeles. I would of been more than happy to sell you the chair if it was still available.
Best Regards,
Peruche

A brand new, unused, vintage condiment set by Arne Jacobsen for Stelton. With the original box and booklet.
1 salt shaker, 1 pepper shaker, and a mustard pot with a spoon.
It appears that these are not produced anymore. There is a paper tag under the box and another identical one under the small tray. Do you guys know when these sets were produced?

I saw new Cylinda stuff in Copenhagen shops as recent as the late 90s, maybe up to 2005 though I'm not positive about that.
edited to add:
Hmm....still in production! The S&P shakers are listed and the other thing appears to be the sugar bowl.

Peruche -
If your friend is interested in mine, let me know! My username at gmail is the best way to get me.
Thanks.

Thanks Spanky and sorry I should have been more specific. I too saw that the salt and pepper shakers are still in production but it seems that the condiment set (ref. 012-1) is not anymore.
Checking the booklet, I haven't found a date but they mention ´west Germany'. Probably pre-1989 production then...

Purchased a 1966 dining set this past week, adding to a great month of purchases via Craigslist and thrift shops
here are the big ones
1966 collection table and chairs
The tabletop was seriously bent, but I dismantled it and straightened it by jumping up and down on it! I figure that the sagging chair and table were victim of a heavy snowfall from a roof. I hope to clean the mesh, and straighten the arms, Any suggestions for cleaning the mildew from the mesh?
