What an awesome little set! This really beefs up my pink ripple collection. And the lady I bought them from had seen what they sell for on ebay, and scoffed at the ridiculous prices, and priced this set much more reasonably. I told her my birthday was tomorrow and that I was thrilled to have this as my present! Really nice antique dealers really do exist!
I rearranged my cabinet and moved my shakers and grease jars to another shelf. So this is what my cabinet looks like now.
Even though this guy is no longer shiny, I was glad to pick him up from another antique store today. My Friendship Pyrex has been really slow to piece together. I still have issues with finding the decorated opal lids on some pieces and replacing others that aren't in the best shape, but I'm happy I'm just one piece away from the whole collection.
In fact, when I started gathering pieces for this group photo, I thought this orange bowl had finished my set until I remembered there's also a decorated promotional piece with underplate that I do not have. So for now my set is complete(ish) and I'll add more when I'm lucky enough to find a new piece. The 503 refrigerator dish is also new, an early present from my husband who bought online. Thanks, honey!
And I've still got tomorrow to shop. I really don't have any money left after today, but I can enjoy the eye candy, right?
Hope you're finding thrifty treats and treasures!
Happy Thrifting!
I ran into one of my estate sale friends at an antique mall the other day. Evidently, the booth I was shopping was hers! So when I went to make my purchases, I found that she had told the clerk that anything I bought from her booth I could get a 20% discount on. You're right, nice dealers do exist!
