That's a lovely Geisha doll you showed at the beginning Rene and the plastic it's made of celluloid..😍😲 Very nice things you acquired at the on-site auction..🤔😉 You shouldn't have any problems selling the Asian items.. Take care always..👍💕🔥⚾🤙
It's nice to see that the items were cared for and individually wrapped. The owner may have been a little excessive about collecting but at least they took the time to protect what they collected.
Hey Miss Moose....You certainly made a great choice buying that box. Listening to the background music, I thought of this quote from the great TV series Kung Fu "If you trust yourself, any choice you make will be correct. If you do not trust yourself, anything you do will be wrong." 🙂
I would be selling them on eBay over a flea market. I feel you would make more money. People who go to flea markets expect everything almost free! Beautiful pieces!! Have a Great Night!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
Hi Renee. This was my favorite video unboxing. What beautiful china and treasures that were in that box. The owner took very good care of those things. You should keep the bowls. They look so beautiful on display. God bBless you Renee. Take care and have a Blessed day. Until the next. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Chino Blanc (spelling?) is what the all white peices are called. Hold any cups up to the light to see if there is an image of a geisha( lithopane?). Fun auction box!
I loved all of it! You could stick some bottle brush trees in that vase. Or a bonsai. So cute. Anyway, I enjoyed this very much. Can't wait for the next one. ❤😘💞💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️👶
Some Lucky Bamboo would be nice in that planter with the girl holding a fan..no dirt is used, just bamboo plant, small pebbles and water. It is very east to take care of.
Konichi wa ! Great first unboxing of your recent purchase. You already did an excellent research, so we know now that most of these items are post war Japanese. Not worth a fortune, but some of them are very stylish, e.g. the red brown salad bowl set. Definitely a keeper ! Thanks for taking us along, Renée, arigato gozaimasu ! 😉 Greets from GER, U.
Using those bowls would make for one fancy salad, that’s for sure! It was interesting to read that they hold in the heat in, while allowing for the user to hold the bowl & not feel the heat on the bottom!
Wow, Renee. I had a stressful day. I sat down to your video with the calming music. What beautiful treasures you found. I love your informational bits at the end. Can’t wait for the next box.
I enjoyed the unwrapping of the first box It was exciting to see every dish or cup not knowing what to expect You surely will get your money back from this haul 🇨🇦🦩
Oh, boy...it's like opening a Christmas gift...what will I see, thank you for taking us along!! Perhaps a neat chinn-wah or two?? The lid...from the matching sugar bowl. Very nice finds! Loved your choice of backround music! Waiting for box two!!
Are you thinking of abalone shells? I think you scored with this box🫶🫶 I can't wait for the next box or tote👍 I love your videos and thank you for all of the work that you do to bring us treasures👏❤
Most of the things are made in Japan. Many Japanese items were imported to USA after WW2 to help Japan rebuild. Also, usually sets are of five, as 4 is an unlucky number.
@@PaperandMoose Number 9 is also unlucky in Japan, whereas in China the unlucky numbers are four and any number that adds up to four, eg 13, 22 etc. These numbers are unlucky because they sound like other things in their pronunciation - death, torture and agony.
Pretty sure that is a Saki set, wow, nice! Enjoyed this! 🌿🩷🌿 My grandfather had a Japanese saki set, when he came home from WW2. Beautiful! Ty for sharing, Renee!
The breakage on the one item reminded me of a funny story. Went to an outdoor flea market with some family and saw what appeared to be a gas lit statue of Liberty but her right arm missing (needless to say that meant her torch was missing too), and, to be honest, what was left of her was really rough. I made the comment to my hubby that the only value in that is for scrap (looked like it was some type of metal) and walked away. A little while later met up with some of the family and my SIL was carrying the Statue of Liberty in her arms like a baby! I asked her about why she bought it and basically, she thought it needed a good home and didn't think anyone would notice the missing arm. To this day, it's in her landscape right outside her front door and yes, I still notice the missing right arm. Moral of the story, there's a buyer for even the broken stuff. It just might take longer for that person to think no one will notice 😂
I had a cousin that died a few years ago. I helped her mother clean out the room she was living in (long story). Among her things were some less than perfect items she had bought at thrift stores.. We grew up in different states and she was a little older so I did not know her well. I thought the fact that she loved these little things that most people would find worthless said a lot about her. Perfection was not necessary. I kept them all boxed up for years and eventually her daughter (that she had given up at birth) tracked me down and I was able to send them all to her. She loves them and loves the fact that they were things her mother loved in spite of their imperfections.
I love your unboxings whether it is garbage bags or auction boxes. The orange enamel bowls with what appears to be abalone shell are my favorites along with the planter. I will definitely be back tomorrow!!!
Nice reveal. It's great when a find takes you (or any of us) down a new path of research / inquiry. Sometimes I think that flea markets and estate sales are the best teachers of everyday history. Thanks for the video & have a great Tuesday! Looking forward to box 2.
Hopefully you all enjoy the videos, I’ll have a few more! We’ll mix it up a bit when I open up the tote marked as “Religious”. And you are right, pretty much anything one buys can be used as a history lesson!
You can date your pieces of Japanese pottery/porcelain, by the following back stamps. If your piece is marked “Nippon,” then it was made and imported between 1891 and 1921. If it is marked “Japan”, then your piece was made and imported after 1921. “Occupied Japan” refers to the years 1945 through 1951. Czech pottery is very collectable and quite in fashion at the moment. You definitely did very well at the auction. ❤🐨
That little planter is part of a decorating trend from the 50s and 60s. I have a bunch of lamps and statues in my collection, and they are so much fun! I’m always looking for new pieces.
I didn't expect to see what was in the mystery box so soon. I love it. I am particularly fond of the tea cups and saucers. It looked as though there was a creamer that went with them, but now don't recall if there was a sugar bowl. Anyway, regardless, I love the tea cups and saucers and I think you are right. That box should do well at the flea market.
What a lovely box of things, and I did enjoy the background research. Sometime those fine porcelain cups can have the shadow outline of a head in the bottom when you hold them up to the light. I am looking forward to your unboxing of the rest of the treasures. Love this channel.
If this box is any indication of the other items you were able to buy I am very happy for you and it was very entertaining to see all of these pretty dishes and figurines. I am looking forward to the rest of the boxes! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
Renee! Thanks for sharing all of box number one with us! It was so cool to see what was found in there! I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work! Can't wait to see what else you will find.
I knew with my taste I’d like the unboxing 😊. “Mother of pearl” is the name you were looking for. I had a floor screen, secretary and jewelry stand box (saw drawers that looked from it, in your auction video) all with mother of pearl all over it, plus the incredible paintings 😢. It has taught me not to store up treasures here. 😏 .... How fun was this box. Can’t wait for next one. Even enjoyed the music you provided. ~ Texas
Unboxing is like a lucky dip, you never know what you will find and it's just as enjoyable as watching you do it. I usually get sidetracked reading the wrapping if the newspapers are older 😁🦘🦘🦘
Swell Haul! The “plastic” statue could be Bakelite. Rub it fast and firm with your thumb. If you get a bad smell on your thumb or statue it’s probably Bakelite and worth more. Chech pottery can be valuable.
