I went to my favorite resale shop on my lunch break today and didn't find anything I wanted so on my way back to work I stopped at a crappy old thrift store and look what I found !I love them.
The clock is a newer one and sure it came from a designer store like a home and living store.I came home put a battery in it and it is working.
But these 2 handled dainty cream soup cups took my eye. The are marked France. I don't know if I will ever use them but couldn't leave them sitting on the floor in a shoe box at the thrift store, could you? They are just 3 inch across. Most 2 handled soups are over 4 1/2 inches
I just love the little gold handles. I don't think your could get a half cup soup in them
The monogram is LAV? I think. I gave $10 for all including the clock

What treasures! I adore those cups. I never find things so lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think it's CAV??? I would LOVE to have those cups, gorgeous! And guess what? I have that same clock! Got mine at Goodwill a while back lol Small world (and great minds think alike, no?!) xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteHow amazing! I don't think I've ever seen fancy bowls like these! WOW! You did GREAT! Yay for old ugly thrift stores! heehee! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty. I couldn't pass them by either. I can't make out the monogram, I have some silverware with various monograms (I collect it) and I have a lot of problems with that, too! lol!
ReplyDeleteJane
Wow! You sure did fabulous my friend. I totally love that clock and of course the monogramed soup cups, just lovely!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
FABBY
So lovely! I have a couple of two-handled cups and had no idea they were for soup...thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteI think the 2 handled cups are for 'cream soup' bowl and saucer; usually they are about 4-5 inches in diameter and used to serve a first course of pureed soup at meals with a light menu. Very chi-chi :). Love them!!!

Janice, I just love to read your posts and see what you have discovered. I love clocks and those soup cups are adorable. I would use those for other things besides soup, i.e. a pretty dessert. You will find uses for them, I am sure. Blessings
ReplyDeleteGreat deal! Love the clock too. I am kind of an antique nut, and you can never pass up a clock with character.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I would love a set of monnogramed tea cups.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!! I agree with the person above who suggested the initials might be CAV. I wonder who the original owner was! xx

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing at SYC!
What a lovely find!!! Some of my best finds are from our run down old thrift store! Most of them are from garage sales though! Thank-you so much stopping by today, and have a great rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky find! I believe the monogram is CAN. Barbara
ReplyDeleteHi Janice, it is CAN. They are so elegant and they look like Limoges. They are for bullion. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Talk to you soon,

Those cups are stunning! I have never, ever, found a two-handle one. Really something special.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you gave them a loving home!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou never know where you will find treasures. The clock and soup bowls are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThose cups are beautiful. Thanks for visiting me too. Sheila
ReplyDeleteWow! Great finds! You should stop in that store more often!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning blog you have, my dear, new friend, I'm following with such a joy !
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad for your comment on ~ My little old world ~ and sorry you had some troubles for reading it in English, believe me, I distrust of every translator from Italian into English, they reverse the true meaning of the phrases, so I do translate by myself and you can find the English version between the text in Italian and the comments !
May your weekend be filled with love and joy,
sending gentle hugs to you

I couldn't have left them either. They are gorgeous! Love th emonogram and the gold details. You could serve sorbet in them or perhaps a boullion as a starter. Great find!
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal! I adore those pretty cups and saucers. Thanks so much for sharing your thrifty thrift store finds with Talk of the Town.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat for the eyes! I love this blog. I am so happy you left a message on one of our blogs so that we could find this treasure chest. It's nice that there are other "hunters and gatherers" out there with our addiction. And the cream soups are to die for.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure!!! I couldn't have left them either!!! Great find!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!!

Very pretty clock and those cups are just elegant. They would be perfect in a glass front cupboard even if you never use them!
ReplyDelete$10 I am SO jealous! I would eat fruit, ice cream, yogurt...so many things in them! Your post is such a happy addition to Thoughts of Home on Thursday. Thank you SO much for sharing the joy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
That is an amazing price!
ReplyDeleteYou found beautiful things.
Isn't that just great fun?

Dear Janice:
ReplyDeleteThat is a darling clock and the soup bowls - I guess broth really. They are so elegant. the clock is really nice and so glad it worked for you. We are busy just putting everything broken back together. We went to Pendulum Bob's today and he fixed 1 clock for free and also showed us what to do with another. We left the cuckoo clock but it never worked even before we moved so hopefully they can fix it. Tomorrow is supposed to be cold but Sunday I may be working in the garden! I am loving Missouri.
I love the clock and the soup cups. They are so elegant looking. I wouldn't have left them there either! Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Thanks for sharing with Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous! They look like Haviland Limoges...so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was looking at the first picture of the clock, I was like ..wow look at those cups! So yes great buy!
ReplyDeleteThe clock and the soup cups are lovely and I think $10 was a steal...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!!
