Hi Everyone
Happy Tuesday
♥
This vintage white ironstone pitcher
has a funny history
It was found in France at the
Porte des Vanves
Porte des Vanves
flea market
Of coarse the fun part was my limited French
and the sellers limited English
this made for the most hilarious
transaction
It basically ended up being mostly
smiles and pointing
and in the end this
vintage white ironstone treasure
had found a new home
Armed with 2 years of French in High school
I was confident we were
going to be
fine negotiating at the Paris Flea markets

When I heard the price
of 4o of coarse I thought U.S. dollars
and I said sold
but she meant in euros
which turned out to be
$75 U.S. dollars
definitely still worth the price though
!!!
Merci

Oh, my....you didn't get the best exchange rate, but that's OK! Your piece is lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, no matter the cost!
ReplyDeleteAs long as it brings you joy each time you look at it, that's really what counts in the end, mais, oui?
ReplyDeleteYeah think if I'd had the green I'd have gone for it also. Love the shape, etc. of the piece. Very nice, good find. Our daughter still remembers some of her high school french. When I make Frenchy stuff she laffs at me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and worth every penny.
