Well folks, here's a batch of stuff I have acquired since last October.

First up we have a hand made ceramic sculpture I found in a brocant (neighborhood sale) in Paris. Only 3 Euro!! This sucker is heavy and 11" tall. No markings.

Next we have a couple of Moai snagged from a thrift store in Palm Springs a couple of weeks ago. See what you guys get for just drinking and hangin' out at the pool? NOTHING!!!! Both marked "Hawaii". So what's up with the slots in the tops? Slots are too wide for a bank and the Moai are too tall to hold business cards. Any ideas?

And next we have an unmarked jobby from the same thrift store. Not spectacular but a keeper nonetheless.

And now, ladies and gentlemen....Direct from Kansas City.....The item I skunked Silverline with. (Sorry mate) The beautiful Voodoo Village dinner plate. Note the sweet airbrushed underglaze. Also you'll see "Caribbean Cuisine" there. I always remembered the joint as Cantonese and Polynesian and at one time I had a matchbook stating just that. The guy who owned the booth said that it started as Caribbean and the fare changed some years later. I'm not sure about that but it sounds reasonable. Anyone else know? Silverline? 8ft?

squid out...
