This has got to be one of my most favourite charity shop finds in a long, long time, if ever and it’s definitely a keeper.
As soon as I entered my favourite charity shop in Evesham I spotted just the colour, sat sitting on the bottom shelf of rather bland and boring, ramshackle collection of glass bits and pieces. Erm, I do believe that I may have pounced, not unlike a lion on noticing a lone gazelle at the watering hole!
The set was complete, comprising of a large tray, small trinket tray, two candlesticks, and a large lidded bowl/dish with two further matching, smaller ones…….
….. all precariously grouped together with a few strands of Sellotape …..
…… in flawless condition, not a single chip, doink or crack! It had to be mine, especially given the colour of my boudoir, painted to remind me of the colour of the sea in Greece.
I have never seen anything this colour before, no even in random, single pieces and as very few complete sets come up on Google/Pinterest, I am guessing that it’s a pretty hard to find colour.
When I posted it on one of the Facebook charity shop pages I follow someone suggested that it may have been a prize in a Woolworth’s competition?
Oh, and the price, hidden under one of the pots? £4, £4??!! As I said this is a keeper, which I intend to bequeath only to someone I know will love it as much as I do on my death bed!
Happy days!
