Thrift store finds
It's amazing what you can find at Goodwill. I love Asian art and just strange looking things. my partner found this ugly old lamp base shaped like a Chinese man's head. it was all beat up so I went about repainting it the way it had been. There was enough color left to see how it was. I had to patch the base with plaster and sand it all down after I added the tip back to his nose and the sides to his hat. I also found the other lamp base, the painting behind it, the table cloth, the dish, and the two lacquered bowls. The cloisonne vase i gave to my mom and dad 20 years ago but it has returned to me after my mom died.
