Nearly 3 years ago Andrea Codrington Lippke<\/a> wrote an article about me and my collection which appeared in The New York Times<\/a>. The result of that amazing exposure was overwhelming and I still get emails from collectors and curators worldwide\u00a0who read the article. I was thrilled to be on the cover of the Home & Garden section and ended up with a 1-1\/2 page article with photos, as well as an online slideshow which included 10 more images. But a few photos never saw the light of day. Please take a look at this trio, which were shot for the article but ended up on the cutting room floor.<\/p>\n

The assembled items for this monochromatic still life include a silver mounted Jackfield teapot<\/a>, “Scottish Thistle” crystal cordial<\/a>,\u00a0etched glass celery vase<\/a>\u00a0and silver resist lustre jug<\/a>. The cluster of 3 objects on the right are metal chisels made from engine parts, “made-do’s” in their own right, which Mark found in a recycling shop in Mali.<\/p>\n

These pieces all have sterling silver repairs, some with rare hallmarks. As most items with inventive repairs are unsigned, I yearn for anything showing a repairer’s mark. The helmet form cream jug<\/a>, out of focus in the back,\u00a0has a uniquely repaired handle made from a silver spoon. The sparrow beak jug <\/a>in the center has a simple loop handle with silversmith’s hallmarks, and the Chinese Imari mug<\/a>\u00a0on the right has an exquisitely crafted replacement handle. Stay tuned for information on the cut crystal goblet at the far left, which\u00a0I will post in the near future.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is the vintage medical cabinet where I keep some of my favorite pieces in my collection, on perpetual rotation. If you look carefully you will see early Micky Mouse collectibles and unusual miniatures mixed in.<\/p>\n

Thanks again to\u00a0Andrea Codrington Lippke<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ira Lippke<\/a>\u00a0for their beautiful writing and photography!<\/p>\n
