Sorry to add your Hummer post, but I can't find a post about about china in the post. It looks like young people are not interested. I have a beautiful set of Lenox Westwind for 8. I am thinking about sending them to a Stock for sell but I know that they are just not interested in young people. I have sent others items just recently and curious to see what also that but I doubt anything will be really be sent. I have the set of 8 us much too heavy to try to mail anybody but I think it would sent by one plate or one dish. In that one Somebody needs a plate, Not pieces of that by one cup or dish, etc., I have a coffeepot Stangl perfect have again know if anybody is interested. Stangl used to be very popular but it went south like some other china.

So glad that everyone likes the new placement. I didn't have an appropriate larger vase for under the painting but put a few books under it as a pedestal and that looks fine now. I'll try moving the small table to the left side of the secretary. However, it has our flashlights there since we're always going out after dark and a pellet gun that we use to chase away the ravens that go after the squirrels' and bunnies' food, and the coyote that decided our yard was a buffet. The pellets don't hurt the animals but scare them. It's just handy to have our "equipment" near the door. Thanks again for your wonderful help. You all entered into the spirit of the thing, and didn't make me feel as though I were making a fuss over nothing. Hugs to everyone! P.S. lkplatow, you make a good point and I'm sure I will at one time or another put Shou on the middle table for the sake of change. OutsidePlaying, you were so right about the table with the vase looking much better flanking the secretary. Many thanks!

This pair of fantastic Milo Baughman lounge chairs from chairish. I have a single of the same chair that I picked up years ago for cheap ($350) and our new house was crying out for a pair. I've been looking for years but didn't want to pay the newly inflated prices of recent years as mid mo has gotten so hot. This pair was reasonably priced so I decided to get both and paid $1500. They were sold with a vile red 90s cheap fabric so I was planning on new fabric, but when I got them home and tore off the fabric, I got to the fantastic original mustard velvet and original Thayer coggin tags. Which was a total and welcome surprise. This color works so well in our mid century home. Unfortunately the velvet is in bad condition.... so I'll still be refinishing. Still a good deal as restoration hardware has just reissued a bunch of almost the same style baughman chairs for about $4000 each. But I love a good refinishing project:)

I know the jar looks like celadon ware, that’s what attracted me to it in the first place, it has no marks otherwise I’d have something to work with, it does look exactly like jars I’ve seen in museum catalogues, I just thought other people may have personally seen examples in real life (and if it could possibly be an antique) It was the year of the dragon when I bought it, so besides my liking dragons, and the colour, it’s a nice keepsake. To my eye, the bird on the lid is out of proportion, making me think it very likely it’s a reproduction, although the dragon is very nicely sculpted. The other figurine I have no clue about, except that maybe it’s a baby buddha, I just like the expression on the face which is very sweet, and it has a bit of a refined quality to it. It was in with a whole lot of trashy junk but that’s all I know.
