I found the odd vase one day last week (.99) and found the tall one yesterday (.99).  I love the one in the "c" shape. I can't wait to toss a single echinachea in it this summer. It will look stunning. No markings that I can see but definitely pleasing to my eye. This is such a calming color to me.

I also found what look like Aladdin Genie lamp candleholders.  I have no clue why I buy wierd things that I am not even sure what they are.

The Genie lamp candle holders are way cool. I'd've bought them for misses Cookie. She is a belly dancer and like Moroccan style items very much, great find!

Love aqua!  You c vase is really unique too.  I have a few nice vintage aqua vases but nowhere good to display them.  Your candlesticks & vases will look great together, love the white & aqua combo.

Love the Aqua Pottery also! It reminds me of "California Pottery" it looks very similar, but I dont really know to much about it, a friend has a few pieces and wrote a book on it and yours looks a little similar, perhaps you could google that! I also love all Aqua kitchenware from the fifties...I have a turquoise/aqua mixmaster, it works but havent used it yet....great finds! Smiley

Those are pretty valuable, do you have the blue bowls too?  My dream would be to find a red Kitchen Aide, but I'd take one of those turquoise mixers too!
