The quick trip into a flea market a
few days ago yielded a few finds. It was very interesting because the store had
several booths with many things marked Occupied Japan. I asked the clerk if
they were all booths owned by the same person. No. they were all different
people. The clerk also said that people had been coming in for a year or more
asking for Occupied Japan things and she had none. Suddenly this summer many
vendors were bringing in various things with the mark. Now, what goes with this
market, I wonder?
I was not looking for a thing, just cruising
around with an open mind. The things I bought were not extraordinary finds for
me, but they were so cheap I could not leave them there! The first was a bone
china cup made in England. Roses are always nice and the cup is delicate under
the waffling gold lip.
The second cup was pretty enough, but
it was also bone china and made in Occupied Japan. This cup has a lovely heft
to it, and the china is so thin you can see shadows of your fingers behind it.
The milk glass styled vase was
practically a giveaway. One can always use a nice white vase for flowers any
time of the year.

Hi Bookie,
Thank you for stopping by. Nice teacups and the white vase is very much like my pink one. Great finds! Have a lovely week.
Blessings,
Sandi
Nice tea cups -- good finds! Don't you love it when you're not searching for anything and something finds you!
These are pretty good finds for not really looking for anything. I love the Rosina cup. I have always liked that company. The roses on it are so lovely and the cup has such a vintage look to it.
The second cup looks very pretty. I too love the paper thin bone china tea cups. The tea always tastes so good in them.
The milk glass vase is lovely. I think milk glass might be becoming a little more popular these days.
Thanks so much for sharing your finds with us.
Hugs,
Terri
Well my gosh, Claudia. Those are all beautiful finds. Beautiful!
Your fall decor yesterday inspired me to change my spring decorations out on the front porch!
Oh, by the way, remember the little African figures on my post this week? You'll never believe this, but I found them in a DOLLAR Store! Can you imagine? Each one was one greenback dollar. Unbelievable.
Take care, Claudia, and thanks so much for your faithful visits and comments. Susan
Lovely! We have a few items from occupied Japan that came to us through Papa, who was stationed there immediately after WWII. They are beautiful.
