I found this piece of opalescent crystal this morning at the local thrift store for $1.99. I didn't recognize the 'Sabino Paris' marking on the bottom, but it looked like 'quality.' I don't know how else to describe it. It literally stood out from all the other knick-knacks surrounding it. Anyway, it turns out to be a piece of art glass made by Sabino of France. Retail price for this particular piece is about $700. Perhaps that will make my husband reconsider his opinion of my junking addiction.

Now that is a "FIND!!!!" You've got the 'eye' for sure. I'm green with envy but thrilled for you at the same time...drool, drool.

It's all about learning to recognize quality, isn't it? Even if you don't exactly know what you are holding in your hand. The other day I found a very attractive carved wooden wall plaque with an 'ANRI' marking on the back. Never heard of it. :)
