Lichfield Aniques Centre

I'm about to give away another source - I know, silly if I think about it as someone else may go there and buy the one's I didn't get. But I thought it worth mentioning this antiques centre as they had one or two vases (I'm deliberately understating things). I found three I wanted and got talking with the people manning the desk - which lead to more expenditure.



They mentioned one of the dealers there had a number of other vases and kindly (and for me, expensively) telephoned her. After about fifteen minutes the dealer, Shirley by name (trading under the banner "Frankly Fabulous Finds"), arrived complete with three crates of German pottery. So I just had to choose another five from her.



The image below are the eight vases mentioned, plus another we found in a charity shop in Lichfield, plus a stein. Yeah, I rather like steins as well.







And so, of we tootled. And that was that. Well of course it wasn't. From virtually the moment we started on our way back home we were talking about a Schmider cat shaped vase we had not purchased.



And so given the fact we had the day off work yesterday we headed back to pick it up - as well as its obligatory travelling companion - vases don't like to travel alone.



So here they are.






This centre will get more visits from me I'm sure.
