I love any ceramic with the color pink!

I love this vase!

All of the ceramics here are displayed in the living room at “Willis Wonderland”.

Love the atomic design on the base of this one!

    I got the vase in the top photo and the cocktail glass at two separate times and places. They’re both 1960’s Italian. I had three of the little glasses but two were 1994 earthquake victims. You can see a couple small chips on the bottom of the last remaining glass but they don’t bother me.

    The vase in the second photo was one of the first ones I ever bought. Under a dollar for sure.

    I don’t think any of these were over five dollars. My vase collection is really a microcosm for how I collect. When I come across things that are cheap enough and period enough and I really like them, I buy them. I definitely appreciate them all more and more as the years go by.

    The vase in the center with the blocks of color compliments the pitcher shared in the last Willis Wonderland post.

    My jaw drops every time I look at the shelves displaying all these incredible pieces. I can’t believe it’s been a year.

    I die over the one with the holes! Beautiful.

    BeeJay – I ned to see the video footage that Allee took of me when I first entered “Willis Wonderland”. I’m almost afraid to view it as we were carrying on with excitement about me being there. I had no idea what came over me but when Allee asked me about my tattoos when I walked in the house, I immediately dropped my pants to expose my inked bum cheeks. What was I thinking!

    Oi gavult! I did open my mouth but I’m usually not one to hide much. If Allee would have let me, I would have dropped my inked ass into her pool.
