When we were in St. Augustine a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that we visited an antique store while waiting for our table at O'Steen's Restaurant.
I purchased two bowls. One is Murano glass (from Italy). Joe and I visited the Murano glass factory when we were in Italy and bought a few pieces while there. I was excited to find this treasure (to me) and we thought the price was amazing. The antique dealer swore it was Murano glass.
It is a very pale pink and will make a lovely salad bowl when I'm using my china, which has pink rosebuds. At least, that was my thought when I saw the bowl.
We also bought a Pyrex bowl. It is a 404 4-quart bowl. No scratches or chips. It was priced well too. I have a 'thing' for bowls and platters. I just like them....
I had to hit the ground running yesterday, at work. This is a busy week for me, but I do have lunch with girlfriends planned for Wednesday and Friday. I'll look forward to that.
Not much else to report today, so I'll sign off. Thanks for checking in with me! Peace & hugs!
You found two great treasures. Oh yes.....the green leafy salad will look awesome in the bowl along with your rosebud china.
ReplyDeleteLove your pink treasures. Enjoy time with your girlfriends....friendship is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteHi Terri, Both bowls are great finds. I do love the pale pink Murano glass. That will be a beautiful addition to your table with your china pattern.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bowls, thank you for sharing. Have a lovely day, friend.
ReplyDeleteI have an old Pyrex mixing bowl set that my MIL gave me. They belonged to her mother. It is dark pink/salmon too. I love them and use them all the time.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Love the pink bowl - I see it with a pretty salad too :-)
ReplyDeletePretty pink bowl, and handy big bowl. One can never have just the right size! Happy Tuesday and hope work isnt too hectic.
ReplyDeleteLove both...love shopping antique store, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the bowl. So pretty. We visited the Murano factory in Italy, too. Enjoy those bowls!
ReplyDeleteI love dishes, too--and you can tell this from my kitchen cabinets! They're overflowing... I "adopted" several new bowls and platters when Ed's mom passed away.

Love your bowls. The other night one of my Corelle plates that I've had for years and years fell off the counter (my fault) and broke. Those are the plates that I use the most. Enjoy your lunch tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI love that Murano glass bowl. You did good!
ReplyDeleteThey're both beautiful - but that Murano is stunning! Great job Terri!
ReplyDeleteMy in-law's have a collection of Murano glass clowns- and I love the beauty of the glass...even if clowns creep me out. Lol

Beautiful Murano glass. I have not known about it before reading your post. Thanks for the education!
