Beautiful Blue Bamboo Gaiwan Teacup with Lid

*SOLD* This large gaiwan teacup is made of ceramic with a shiny crackle glaze. It has a blue bamboo motif on both the cup and the matching lid. It also features metal (brass or copper?) bands around the foot, the knob, and both the edge of the lid and edge of the bowl. The cup measures 3 inches high (5 inches high with the lid on), and about 4 1/2 inches in diameter. It is in wonderful vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, color loss, or other damage. The metallic strips have a patina that I did not attempt to polish, but could probably be shined up if you preferred. Very little wear or scuffing. This is a beautifully heavy, high quality piece of tea service! You can purchase this bamboo motif gaiwan now at www.ecoquirky.com

 

Red Wood Music Box Jewelry Box with Photo Frame Lid

*SOLD* This beautiful little box is a combination jewelry box, photo frame, and music box. It is made of rounded red wood, with a photo frame built into the lid, and the interior has a clear covered compartment that holds the music box as well as a compartment for jewelry and a box for 3 rings. The interior is lined with deep red velvet. I have put a piece of pretty paper in the cover that you could leave if you like, but this would make a great keepsake gift for someone you love with a nice photo in it. This box measures 5 inches by 6 1/4 inches and stands about 2 1/2 inches tall when the lid is closed. It has 4 small black rubbery feet. The box is in great vintage/used condition. There are some scratches in the wood on the outside, but the structure of the box is intact and sturdy, and the music box that plays "Somewhere Out There" works beautifully. It is easy to wind and sounds perfect - no distortion, and a more complex, quality music box than those little ones you hand wind. I wish the video on this listing had sound! Please look at the photos for condition. The inside of the box has no spots or wear, very clean and good condition. It looks like there may be one missing frame clip but the photo and glass are held very tightly in with the three that are still there. A beautifully sweet little box!

WWII Era Silver Plated Trinket Box

*SOLD* This sweet little box features a deep blue lid with a crown design. It is marked on the bottom as silver plate, and was made in occupied Japan. Japan was occupied by the US after WWII, so I believe this was made in the 1940's. It has four ornate little feet, as well as floral motif on all four sides of the box. The inside is tarnished but clean, with signs that there had been a sticker inside the lid that probably would have told us the manufacturer. The box measures 3 inches by 3 1/2 inches rectangle, and stands about 1 1/2 inches high. The box is in great vintage/used condition considering that it is probably close to 80 years old! There are no chips, cracks, or other damage to the piece. The blue enamel or paint on the cover is worn through in a couple of places. The hinge works great. The box was not made with any latching mechanism to keep it closed. Overall a beautiful little box with a long history!

Vintage Copper Basket with Brass Handle

 

*SOLD!* This sweet copper basket has a swiveling brass handle. It has a bright shiny patina, with a hammered texture on the outside and an inverted hammered (almost snakeskin) texture on the inside. The basket measures 3 inches tall (about 8 inches tall with the handle upright), and measures 8 inches in diameter. This copper basket could be used for flowers, garden harvesting, or as a planter for a houseplant. It could also be a serving bowl or catchall. It is in great vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, dents, or other damage. The hinge on the handle is quite stiff (did you see me trying to fold it down with one hand in the video?!?) and stands up sturdily. I polished up the basket and it got much brighter and shinier, but there are still some dark areas (particularly on the inside bottom). Please look carefully at photos for condition. A couple of the photos show dark reflections, but I assure you, the outer bell of the bowl is just really shiny - and it is definitely copper colored, not black! A very versatile and charming little piece of vintage copper.

Cottagecore Geese with Kerchiefs Wall Organizer

*SOLD* This sweet vintage wall organizer has two compartments to organize your papers, bills, mail, or recipes, as well as 3 key hooks along the bottom to keep track of your keys. It is made of blue picket-style wood with a distressed, shabby finish. The geese attached to the front of each compartment are wearing polka-dot kerchiefs - could anything possibly be more cottagecore?! This organizer has two metal hooks on the top corners for hanging, as well as a cutout heart decoration along the top. It measures 14 inches high and 6 inches across. This item is in great vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, or other damage. It has some slight wear along some edges as well as some light scratches that are due to normal wear and tear and the age of the item. Please look at photos for details. All of the light wear fits in pretty well with the intentionally distressed blue paintjob. This is a unique decorative organizer that would look great in a country or farmhouse style kitchen or office. So adorable! You can purchase this wall organizer now at www.ecoquirky.com

 

Brightly Striped Ceramic Sugar Bowl

*SOLD* This adorable little ceramic container was probably originally a sugar bowl, but would work to store or organize any number of things! It is primarily red with other bright colored stripes including blues and yellows. The bowl measures 4 3/4 inches tall with the lid on, and is about 4 inches in diameter. The lid fits well but doesn't seal airtight and doesn't have an mechanism to latch into place. It doesn't contain any stickers or stamps to say when or where it was made. This container is in great vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, or other damage. It has a bright, shiny over-glaze, and the colored glazes underneath faintly show the brush strokes from when it was painted, which is so pretty! This bowl only shows wear on the bottom, where there is a bit of scuffing from normal use, but no scratches that I can see. Please look at photos for more information. This unique little container would make a great gift for someone who loves rainbows! You can purchase this striped sugar bowl now at www.ecoquirky.com

 

Decorative Red Metal Film Reel

*SOLD* This decorative film reel would look great in your home theater! It has a distressed red paint job, and measures 16 inches in diameter. On the back it has a sturdy metal loop for hanging, as well as two raised padded feet that protect your wall and also act as spacers to make sure your reel hangs straight. It sticks out just over an inch from the wall. This item is in great used condition, with no cracks, dents, or other damage. It does have some light scratching from age and normal use, but the distressed finish makes these nearly impossible to see. The darkest scratches are on the backside of the film reel. Overall, a wonderful and unique way to decorate your movie room or man cave. Would also make a fun gift for your favorite cinephile!
