    Keep the piece as an olive oil decanter. There is something special about using an everyday piece you love in a luxurious way. Years ago, I used my grandparents sterling flatware for my everyday flatware. Yes, it was expensive and special but using it made every meal a memory and reminded me not to wait for special occasions to use the things you love.

    Best to sell, as olive oil should be stored in dark glass to prevent spoiling. You'd have to hide it in the cupboard... awesome haul!

  • @evelynedavid9564

    Hello Laura, If you keep the decanter for olive oil, you must store it in a cupboard in the dark. Otherwise your olive oil will get rancid very quickly. That is why olive oil decanters are made in ceramic so light does not alter the quality of the oil. Love your videos and thinking about going on vacations in Oregon after watching your Oregon Coast tour videos. 👋 Evy from Montreal 🇨🇦

    The brass book ends are made after the gates of Seoul, Korea. Originally built in 1300s, there were 8 gates to enter Seoul. The south gate, i think, is registered as the national treasure. And yin yang symbol is a part of the national flag. Great finds!!!

  • @MsDoIIy
    @MsDoIIy 2 роки тому +3

    I have to agree with the others. Olive oil decanters are best stored in dark glass and ceramic. If you see any Olive oil stored in a clear glass it's usually for the esthetic or it's a smaller container that will be used for only that day because it is mixed with seasoning to use for bread or cooking. I vote to sell it.

    Laura, I had to laugh when you told everyone about the flower frog. When I was younger, my husband and I lived in the Florida Keys. I had a customer come in and asked if we had any frogs (at the time I had no idea what it was, but we always had lots of live frogs that would sit in our hanging baskets). I told her that we had lots of frogs and she could take as many as she could catch. She looked at me like I had two heads. She then left, with out purchasing anything. I then spoke to the owner and she explained what a frog was and what it was used for. I started laughing so hard that I cried. I will never forget that encounter, and I'm sure the lady hasn't either!

    I would keep the decanter for olive oil. We live in a hot climate and use a decanter of the same color and it doesn't go rancid very easily. That may be because we use olive oil several times a day. You have such a good eye for putting things together.

    If you put a cork on that danish vase after pouring oil the cork will get oily, slippery and, in the long run, rancid.

    Hi Laura what an amazing haul reminds me of High-class auction viewing with exquisite art and designer objects.
    Olive Oil is slippery🤔

    You have the BEST eye for Amazing pieces. I love watching your channel bc I learn SO much about pottery and art that I know nothing about being from the south. Ty

    You have helped me so much! Thank you ❤️ I’m so addicted to thrifting I’ve had to restrict myself to once a week and it’s so hard 😅 You and George are my favorites and I switch between your videos every evening

    I love your videos. I've been second hand shopping for many years. Now it's trendy when it use to be (in my town in New Zealand) something you would hide and be embarrassed of with the stigma of being poor. Now it's cool and good for the environment 😎
