Tuesday Treasures - May 6, 2025

 It was a great day for breakables at the Goodwill Bins!  I only went in for a few minutes as I was passing by on errands.  No digging around in the general salvage this time, just breakables, which are in their own area.  70¢ worth.  Plus another 30¢ rounding up for a non-profit beekeepers association that educates on beekeeping, the importance of honeybees, native pollinators, etc. They also provide volunteers to provide nonlethal swarm removal.  So, a $1.00 trip.

1940s 7" chalkware string dispenser.  This one has lost most of its paint, but none of its charm.  It would have hung up, the back is hollow, and the string comes out a hole in the base of the ball.  I'd better be careful, this is my second 
(September: lisasgardenadventureinoregon.blogspot.com/2023/01/my-favorite-thrifts-of-2022.html) string dispenser and three is a collection!

Teak from Thailand 

Italian hand-painted red earthenware pottery bowl (soup?) perfect for a succulent.   

The best for last... 

An intact, unchipped, uncracked, drip glazed Lazy Susan set!  I've seen the side dishes quite often (and there were two orange ones in the Bins the same day), but not a full set. I found the lidded bowl first, and put it in my basket.  Then, separated from the bowl, rubber banded together were the four side dishes. They would be filled with dipping items for whatever you put in the bowl.  As it is unmarked, I can't date it.  However, drip glaze Lazy Susan sets were popular in the 1950s - 1970s, with many made by California potteries.  Originally the sets would have had a wooden base to spin them, which is why they are called Lazy Susans.   It's more lemon yellow that the photos look.

There were three other things, but they are for Christmas, so won't be shared until the annual Christmas Thrift posts!
