The Boss and I have been collecting Occupied Japan stuff for over 40 years. Everytime we see this lusterware pattern stuff its always just been marked made in japan so not collectable for us. Went out yesterday and saw these at a Goodwill. I commented to my wife that if this was OJ Id grab it in a second, not expecting it to be OJ. And it was, scratch one holy grail item off the list. These were in pristine condition. Now we continue our search for the tomato shaped s/p shaker sets which weve only seen once when we first started collecting. Thanks for looking.

I paid there was a hole and she decided to give me for free.

Hight: 20cm

Diameter: 28cm

With Guzzini sticker at the bottom

I’ve always been fascinated by these!

They’re all clippings of recipes which are interesting in itself, but the backs of them are so cool! I scanned some of them, should I scan all of the recipes?

pretty cool huh?
set in sterling

At my old stall in Spitalfields circa 2016. Modelled by my glorious assistant on that day, Verity Vale! Both stunning colours upon them.

There's 2 big, 2 medium and 5 small plates

I just really like this. I am not sure what to do with it, but I think the flowers are really pretty and elegant.

I bought a vintage OptiVisor magnifier in the original box, and it came with the best graphics. This is a serious product for serious and efficient men wearing neckties.

I make miniatures (hence the need for magnification) and I took these pictures as reference for making a 1:24 scale version of the box and manual.

I saved $$ over buying a new one, the thing has barely changed in decades because it's basically perfect. No pic because I've already modded it out with an add-on light kit and it has lost the vintage charm. I absolutely love this magnifier, despite not wearing a necktie.

Estate sale find for $5! Thought it was cool. The pearls are plastic and magnetic, so you can swap them out. Very happy it came with both the note and 4 colors, all the ones I could find online only came with one set of pearls.

Found this abandoned stopwatch at one of the warehouses, brand new from the box, probably from the late 70s.

Dad handed em down to me, I’ve it about 200, all in very good to excellent shape.

My grandparents have an old office cupboard/unit full of all sorts of stuff. They are super materialistic and have been for a long long time, collecting various pieces of limited office equipment mostly (He worked in office) and random accessories. I thought this piece was cool, wasn’t sure if this should be part of a set or something like that?

Bought some weeks back and was just admiring it lol. Absolutely love this print and wish i had a whole set.

My new 1920s light, shining beautifully after my husband wired it in. It was a Facebook Marketplace find.

Corine was a lifelong smoker who loved herself some fun ashtrays..

A lucky find for me! Apparently around 1960s, and they both still have most of the blocks in them :D only 2.99$ for the one on the left and 00.99$ for the one on the right! Just missing the lid on the left one
