Next are these pressed glass ice cream dishes, (that's what we use them for anyway), from the same odds and ends box for 10p each. There were only five of these and we have since broken one of them but they make the children feel very special when eating their ice cream, so worth every penny.
Last item from the odds and ends box today is this shaker, it is about 4 inches high and we tend to use it for sprinkling icing sugar or cocoa powder also 10p.
Something a little more colourful now, this turquoise blue glass bowl was only 35p, I'm not really sure of it's original use but we use it under a plant pot on the hall stand or sometimes to hold a group of candles. It is a very beautiful colour.
I've managed to pick up a few bottles over the years which are used for various things, mostly to hold the small flowers my daughter accidentally picks whilst smelling them! The one on the left says 'kutnow's powder' and is a lovely blue colour, the middle one has 'eiffel tower lemonade' on the front. These were 50p and 25p, the last one was free as it was dug up.
Finally today is this black glass perfume bottle, my husband bought me this for 75p mainly so that we could use the atomizer on another bottle. I have a lovely glass dressing table set but the atomizer on the perfume bottle was missing, so he had the idea of using this one. As yet though I haven't changed it over as this black glass one looks pretty on the bedroom shelf next to the ostrich feather fan.
I seem to have quite a few perfume bottles... That's it for today then this post is for the magpie Monday link up, please feel free to wander over there for more charity shop finds.
What a great selection at amazing prices too. I love your coloured bottles, I have found a few recently and like you love them with a little flower popped in them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little bottles. I do love little glass pretties. Well done.

Oh I love all your finds! Those bowls are great for ice-cream the kids love them. I especially love the shaker you use for icing sugar, I'm going to keep my eyes open for one of those and the bottles are fab for holding flowers, will looking out for some of those too! :) x
ReplyDeletethank-you for visiting and your lovely comments, I love glassware, it can be so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThat odds and ends box was very fruitful, lovely items, love the bottles and the atomizer.
ReplyDeletethank-you for reading, it was indeed, unfortunately the shop closed recently though... so no more bargains for me :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of glassware, I'd have snapped all of those up too. There's definitely something about eating ice-cream out of a stemmed dish - always tastes better! I have special ice-cream spoons too, picked up from a car boot sale because they were like the ones I remember my gran having.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little bottles too - I love those
it does taste better, I agree. thank-you for visiting :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all so lovely and what bargains! Scarlett x
ReplyDeleteI want to come and live at your house if your trifle bowl and ice cream bowls are in everyday use!!
ReplyDeleteLove your bottle collection. There's something wonderful about old bottles isn't there.
Sorry, blogger's not letting me comment as me, but it's me, Missielizzieb!
well you know what I mean 'every day use' as in not kept just for best. thank-you for visiting :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely selection, and I would feel very special eating icecream from those glass dishes too. I wonder what Kutnow's powder was used for, the mind boggles? Love the perfume atomiser too x
ReplyDeletethank-you for visiting... some one on twitter told me kutnow's powder was an effervescent saline dietary aid, there was a lovely 1930's advert on line too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the old bottles, especially that you dug one up! I found a tiny bottle in our garden, I think it's an old perfume bottle, there is something fascinating about 'found' items
ReplyDeleteI agree found items have a special mystery about them, thank-you for visiting :)
ReplyDeleteinsane prices! And the glasses are are so lovely. I like the truffle bowl and ice cream cups especially

it is quite exciting to see these odds and ends bins, they have some strange things in them. I once found a wedgewood pepper pot in one for 10p!
