I love G. Armani sculptures! I have two! A small 1920's flapper that was a gift, and a very large Mermaid in her shell, that I spent almost a year saving up for! I love her though! She's way up on a plant shelf, so my kids and grand kids can't break her - LOL

Reminder to members to use the photo icon on your menu bar when shasring photos so that we can see them in full view. This is a better method than adding an attachment. The photo icon is is the second rectangle box after the work link. When you click on the icon you will see a screen open that say "choose file" and this will bring you to your photo file.

Deanna what a beautiful collection. How did you get started collecting these?

A vase for flowers with very short stems! There's a barely legible 671 on the bottom in black.

Lillian, that is so cute.  I personally think it was made to be a vase. Does it have any markings on the bottom? I bet it is at least from the 50s or 60s.  These are just guesses!

I don't know what the intended use of this ceramic item was. It seems too small for a planter and too deep to be a trinket holder. The whole piece is 5" long.  Maybe a hair receiver? Anyone know what it is and how old?

I forgot to mention that my Grandfather worked in the marble industry; the company he worked for did interior marble work for commercial buildings. While he was a foreman on such work, I suspect that this humidor was one of those end-of-the-day items that we are familiar from other trades.

Yes thats exactly it, money is great but a good story priceless you cannot give it a value, to someone it has more value than you or i would ever know (unless it was ours) i really appreciate good items that are well made and attractive but......an item and  a story just adds to it for me.

How many of us have written down the tales that we know about our family treasures?  My sister keeps getting after me to put notes in various items that I "own".  These are not items of great monetary value, simply things that have belonged to specific relatives - such as the marble humidor that my grandfather made for himself.  The story goes that he did not realize that one of the long sides had a pastoral scene on it until he took it home and placed it on his smoking table.  True or not, it is a wonderful tale that I recall each time that I look at the piece as it rests on an end table that my late husband made in high school.
