Snagged this gorgeous vintage lusterware teapot for just $7! 🫖💸✨
​It features vibrant pink and yellow cabbage roses, black scrollwork accents, a bold gold-gilt spout and handle, and a soft pearlescent lusterware sheen over the porcelain body. The minty green scalloped lid with its gold finial top completes the look.
​Finding vintage teapots in pristine condition with zero chips or major gold wear for under $10 is getting harder every day. It brings instant cottagecore charm to an open kitchen shelf or tea cart display.

You never know what wild vintage combinations you'll find at the thrift! 🕯️🚬✨
​This is a vintage porcelain miniature oil lamp set directly into a cloverleaf ashtray base, stamped "Made in Japan" on the bottom. It features hand-painted pink roses, gold-gilt trim, and an intact brass burner with the original cloth wick.
​Mid-century Japanese porcelain makers were famous for these quirky, multi-use novelty items. The lamp provided light at a bedside or vanity table, while the small rest indentations around the dish held ci******es or matches. Today, pieces like this make for unique trinket dishes or shelf decor.
​Would you leave this as a unique display piece, or use the tray to hold jewelry and rings? Let me know below! 👇

$2 for a limited edition, hand-painted Fenton glass piece?! I couldn't pull my wallet out fast enough! 💸🦋✨
​This is a vintage Fenton hand-painted glass egg on a pedestal, featuring a yellow butterfly, delicate floral accents, and gold trim along the base.
​The best part? When you flip it over, it's hand-signed by the artist and numbered #1427 of only 3,000 ever made! $2 for numbered Fenton art glass with original stickers intact is the exact reason I love thrifting.
​Would you have recognized this as a limited edition Fenton piece, or passed right by it? Let me know in the comments! 👇

$15 for a complete Fenton glass epergne?! I am still in total shock over this find! 💸🌸✨
​This is a vintage Fenton pink iridized hobnail glass epergne—a Victorian-style centerpiece designed to display fresh flowers in the horn inserts (or "peg arms") while the ruffled base holds smaller blooms or candies.
​Finding one of these complete with all three trumpet horns intact—no chips on the delicate crimped edges and zero damage to the peg bases—is getting harder and harder to do. That pearlescent, rainbow shimmer when the light hits it is unreal!
​Tell me: Have you ever found an epergne out in the wild, or is this still on your thrift wishlist? 🌸👇
