a touch of china

five very specky chinese cups probably from a set of six.  quite small.  no saucers to go with them.  i'm thinking of using them as tea light holders or just for tea or baileys.  ok, might need two or three if used as a tea cup.  and baileys too come to think of it.  in the bottom of each cup is a raised outline of a goddess face which doesn't show on the underneath.  they are made of a quite fine and delicate porcelain and have gold handles and highlights.  gorgeous and a bargain at $4.00

ps these look amazing with a tealight candle burning inside.  quite nice

some more bargains

i've wanted one of these for ages.  this year i bought one.  about $6 i think.  only problem was one of the legs broke on the way home even though i had it inside two helmets.  i should have put it in my hand luggage.  i mended it the other day, you can see the glue on the nearest leg. it's a little grill for cooking satay btw

i bought this wood carving recently in adelaide. i think it was $4.50

this balinese mask was bought here too.  $3.00  bargain

a little handmade garlic keeper.  $2.00
