I wasn't going to post this week, I only had one find. We had a snow storm and I couldn't get out for days. I was able to go thrifting the past 4 days, didn't find anything until this afternoon.
I only found two of these items...a turquoise 024 (yay!!!) and a 043 snowflake in hunter green! I put it on top of my blue snowflake so you can see the color difference. I almost left it on the shelf but hubby kept looking at it. I said, it looks destroyed and he was like "umm, well, umm" I looked at it again and we both commented how shiny the paint was. It was grimy, I took it home and washed it and it is very shiny no doubt. I'm guessing this is a 2nds where the color was off. What do you guys think? Here's a close up photo.
It's not what I was hoping for but it is different! I've been thrifting a lot looking for vintage Christmas stuff as well. If you like that kinda stuff you can see it at my blog here. I haven't posted my finds for today, it's next on my list!

wow! amazing never seen a green snowflake before
ReplyDeleteAnd to think I almost didn't take it. I have to start looking more closely anymore, don't want to pass up anything so unique!
DeleteLucky you! Love everything!
ReplyDeleteI have three, yes three, 024 lids…still waiting to find a 024.
It took a long time before I found any that weren't in poor condition and now I have 3. I bet it won't be long before you are posting you found one!
DeleteI love the green snowflakes and the turquoise is beautiful! Good for you:))
ReplyDeleteI have seen that happen to many butterprint bowls. They turn a weird shade of green, then darker and darker, then black. Most likely from high heat in the oven.
ReplyDeleteI did wonder if it could have been from use in broiling. I work in warm glass and some colors will (like reds especially) will burn out to brown. Now the question is--can I turn it in to a black snowflake? That's an experiment I'd be willing to try! It's one way to get that black/white snowflake ha-ha!
