I would have loved to have been there.<br />I especially love the Sevres compote with the cupid supports.<br />I actually have a similar one and have been trying to research it.<br />Would you be so kind and email me wht the auctioneers description was and could you please send me a picture of the base so I can see if our backstamps are the same. I would be so grateful and I loved<br />your blog<br />Thanks<br />KimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15750820607615880460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337784527382402788.post-77351222478495903432011-08-18T10:51:57.617-04:002011-08-18T10:51:57.617-04:00Dear best

After vieuwing the pictures of your porcelain items I'm afraid that most of them are modern reproductions.

When I saw this auction advertised, I wanted to go so badly. I think it's a good thing I wasn't able to. We would have been bidding against each other, and you would have won the bids! I can't believe that you and John are grateful for me getting you started on auctions, but I sure have enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful things y'all buy at auctions. You live in an area with so many historic and beautiful treasures being auctioned, and y'all have such a good eye for buying. So glad you linked to Favorite Things. laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337784527382402788.post-29900432586024664932010-09-25T23:51:32.103-04:002010-09-25T23:51:32.103-04:00Christine, you really got a lot of stuff!

You must have been so excited when you were at the auction --you probably couldn't even remember everything you were winning! The funniest thing was when you said you thought you were bidding on one thing, but actually it was another! LOL! Oh, Christine, I could just picture you there, whipping your little paddle up and down. You are one lucky lady that your husband is an antique lover also and encourages your purchases. But you certainly got some EXCELLENT buys if you paid $350 for two tables and the next day one was going for $3000. Goodness, you must have been jumping for joy. Well, thank you for sharing, everything is beautiful!<br />Best,<br />GloriaGloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089446185793581415noreply@blogger.com
