- We're working hard in this video, combing through one last (we think?) warehouse owned by @BernerBrotherAntiques , who have been kind enough to invite us to pile up the bargains! We've barely gotten in the door when Jocelyn of @CrazyLampLady finds a great gargoyle-like face jug, so I'd better get in gear and start shopping too.
It's easy to do here! This is another barn full of shelves, boxes and piles of antiques and vintage, and I quickly snag a Blenko threaded bowl (yes, that tag says $12!) and some Wedgwood Jasperware in the desirable basalt black color. Vintage fashion jewelry, Van Briggle and Van Tellingen pottery novelties and a few surprises land in my pile, despite some unexpected competition for the biggest baubles...
Digger Drew comes just in time to find and interpret some interesting antique metal bits and bobs unearthed long ago, find a missing Murano stopper and explain why tobacco pipes grew in the 1700s! This is the kind of information that makes shopping with friends fun, there's bound to be more to learn when there's decades of accumulated knowledge between everyone in the group!
We can't seem to get out without piling up more to buy, and as our total escalates, so do our chances of having fresh stock for our upcoming Florida winter shows, and our Holiday online sales! Look for some of the surprising items here to appear in our upcoming Level 2+ Member early access eBay listing video (info under the dashed line below where it says 'Memberships'), as well as our sales starting November 30, 2023 on @TheAntiqueNomadLive channel.

The clown decanter you said was Murano is actually Mexican glass.
I agree with you after looking at it again, a little rougher than Murano
Everybody watching- please give our friend George a thumbs up!!!!
Thank you my friend! It really does help the channel
Laurel is too adorable. Knows exactly what to do with those pearls. She's a regular Coco Chanel!
Lol
You certainly deserve everything good that comes your way, you’re such a sweet soul and I love watching all of your videos…you always make me laugh and you’re always entertaining…such a wealth of knowledge…Thank you for that. ❤
Oh, well thank you so much, I really feel humbled and blessed by everyone's generosity towards me, and I hope I can keep giving back in the same manner.
So true ❤
Where do they get all that goodness ? You’re always a real gentleman .
They've been buying for decades
George, I appreciate you sharing what you know about collectibles. Thank you so much!!
It's always so informative tuning in to your shows.
Thanks! Hope to see you here again
@@TheAntiqueNomad For sure.
Wow, you are just a bevy of information ! Always impressed of the knowledge you have about everything and even the history of it. You truly have a passion for what you do!❤
My sister just put me in touch with you, and she was right!!! I love your channel. I really like the fact that you really know your business. Some of the guys that buy storage units don’t know a thing about what they find. And throw a lot of good things away. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Yes, Melinda! Tobacco was introduced to England in 1565 from Florida and West Indies by Sir John Hawkins.
I finally started taking notes.
Oh gosh, that really is an itty-bitty Bluebird of Happiness 🐦
I would love it !! ❤ 🐦
The two little black pieces at 12:00 are burnished not glazed. You can find how to videos on TH-cam for this process. When you see other colors like red or cream that is done by applying a thin layer of watered down clay called slip. Carving into the pieces reveals the unburnished areas that don't get the burnished shine. I enjoy your videos and learn so much!
George is so smart and I love his voice! ❤😊
I love those flowery baskets those were nice. I am always glad to see a video by you I learn more and more each time. You have a great day and safe travels
Good evening, George! Those statues outdoors there are something I could get into really quickly. It was a pity that vase had been drilled. That's a big "no" for me, too, along with old kerosene lamps that have been drilled. I liked the one next to it, though. Grape & Cable isn't one of my favourite patterns. Of all the 61 beverage sets I have, there isn't a G&C in the lot. That Austrian porcelain piece was really pretty. That is a place to get there early and leave late...too much fun things to browse. Thanks for the take-along!
I want concrete in the yard too! The vase made me sad, Consolidated and Phoenix are always good sellers and I want things to be preserved. I cringed when I saw the missing chunk in the punch bowl, I love that pattern in that context because it's so big and well detailed! We used to sell those regularly for $400 when I first started in this. I'm shocked to hear you don't have a G&C beverage set, we'll have to work on #62 for you! Lol. I would've enjoyed looking longer, but I felt pretty happy with what I found and for only $135, it was a $500 pick in a half hour...much better than thrifting at Goodwill!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Yeah, it was sad the vase had been drilled. A beautiful piece that, to me, had been ruined. I can do without a G&C beverage set 😂 That's never been a favourite pattern of mine. Mom had a complete punch set in G&C, but she sold it when we combined houses. I do have two of Northwood's Grape and Gothic Arches sets - one in amethyst and one in pumpkin marigold. That's a pattern I really do like. That was immensely better than any Greedwill, for sure!
Hi George. Love this video. How do they ever sort all of their stuff! Being a neat freak I would go crazy. 😅😅 Lots of great findz especially the blue birds. My two favorite things birds and anything blue. 💖 Val 🐨
4:29 the guilloche lid-no bottle to go with? It’s lovely! That place must have been a hoot to pick!
Oh yes!
I jut love World Globes and maps.
Funny yo hear Jocelyn's voice as she records her video 😂 😂 😂
George, Europeans first discovered tobacco in South America and Cuba, where it was grown and used by indigenous peoples there. It was imported to France and England and Spain. Due to its addictive properties its use spread widely and quickly in Europe. It was used as well by the indigenous tribes in North America, but more as a medicinal herb or in religious ceremonies. The Virginia colony began growing tobacco as a commercial crop very early. Tobacco cultivation is extremely labor intensive, this led to the increasing use of slave labor, which replaced the prior practice of indentured servitude to provide farm labor. So tobacco use helped set the United States on the path to the Civil War. Tobacco in the colonies was mainly an export crop. It was subject to various tariffs and would have been very expensive. It was used almost as currency and could be legal tender to pay debts and taxes. It would have been used sparingly by ordinary citizens in the early colonies, until its cost decreased with independence and unfortunately the increased use of cheap slave labor.
Enjoyed shopping along with you @Berners....fascinating items to be sure!
Really different items! Andrew had some cool pieces too!😊
Looks like you got to dig right into thr stuff.
I love your knowledge! So fun. Found your channel thru Thrifting Vegas :)
George, I have a few pieces for sale you picked up. As a Cuban I’m interested in anything you find. Also, anything with the last name Ginori, which is my last name and Italian. Love your videos and Jocelyn!
What a goldmine of treasures you have found. So sad the sun went down...❤
We'll make Laural into a joolie yet! I just found a beautiful Mexican blackware jug/vase in a charity thrift. Gave it to another lady because she was fascinated, and I had no clue what I'd do with it if I had it. The LIRR martini stirrer jug I'd be all over - rail nut's daughter and there was a famous bar car on CT commuter rail for decades.
Oh that was nice of you! It's fun to pass on an interesting item to someone who really admires it.
@@TheAntiqueNomad I told her to buy it instead of me. I didn't pay for it. (even I'm not that nice )
I loved the LIRR bar car. Used to go home from acting school at about 2 pm. Sat in the bar car and had a rum and coke every day. Went home, took a shower and changed and went back into the city to the theatre and for cocktails. Those were the days - I could make a 7 am train in the morning and then party the night away and get up the next morning. Now sometimes I sit and watch the clock waiting for midnight so I could go to bed! 17 and 70 just ain't the same.
I really liked that vase heartbreaking that is was drilled 😢
Heaven!!!
Such beautiful things ❤
That's Dashing Dan - the Long Island RR mascot!
Very good! I wonder if the woman had a name
Dashing Dottie.
@@TheAntiqueNomad
LiRR is the largest commuter RR in America.
Did you study art history? I learned so much from you in this video!! Once again, thank you!!
When you have time check out a UK mudlarker such as Si Finds, or Nicola White they find objects along the shores of the Thames
And find pipes a lot very interesting old objects
Hello from Mexico 👋
Hola! hope to be down there in March
The figure on the Long Island RR glass was called”Dashing Dan” - he was a big part of their advertising in the 60’s and 70’s.😃
George! I think your friend Janet defeated Navratilova in the US Open.
Yes she did! She's taking the antique mall in St. Pete over again, she's just unstoppable
So fun!
Hi George, I saw you in Mount Dora and love the pieces I bought from you. I hope you had a successful weekend.
I love watching your videos as you have a great sense of humor and are very knowledgeable. However, I must point out that the two Wedgwood black and white pieces you picked out are not Wedgwood Black Basalt, which is a hard, dense, fine-grained stoneware, which Josiah used for portrait medallions, seals, vases and urns, busts, tea ware, and other items. The busts and figures were made to emulate old bronze statues. Basalt has been produced continuously since its introduction in 1768. The two pieces are Wedgwood Black and White Jasperware, which is a totally different stoneware, which was invented by Josiah Wedgwood in 1774. I was surprised you passed on picking up the Wedgwood Primrose and White vase, which is highly collectible as it was only produced for a short period of time in the 1970's.
Thank you for clarifying, so many people have just called it black basalt that I foolishly never investigated that! I will have to make a correction. I didn't pick up the Primrose and White because it had a stain you couldn't see from the camera angle and I wasn't sure it would come out, perhaps I should've tried
@@TheAntiqueNomad I am glad to be of some small assistance. I have been collecting Wedgwood for over 50 years and have many reference books. If you ever have any questions in the future about Wedgwood, please let me know and I will do my best to answer them. I can understand passing up on the Primrose and White piece because of a stain. Depending on where the stain was and how big, sometimes it can be removed with gentle dish detergent such as Dawn and water.
Such a fun treasure hunt! Thank you.
George pick up stoppers (blue owl) sell well for me and maybe for you.
Hi George from Auckland NZ. Love your content and wished wechad places to shop here like you
The beads at 7:47, I saw a movie with Katherine Hepburn and she was wearing beads that looked like those. It was in black and white, but sure looked similar.
So what do Berners do; do they buy up entire estates? Thank you for the video. The other day I was at a little junk shoppe and I saw a blouse that looked just like one that my Grandmother wore; I had to bite hard on my tongue to keep from crying. Cheers.
They do!
That's a sweet story about your grandmother
Markets up and down for sure! Just in 2018 i had jadeite and cant remember name but the orange shiny dishes were really not desirable.i gave it away!
6:31 this statues style I see that it makes the comeback now. I see people under 30 buying this kind of pieces to decorate the homes.
wow I would camp out in there for a while, lol
I hope you bought the owl stopper!
No, I'm sure it's still available though!
How funny, I thought it was a cat, but you are probably correct that it’s an owl 🦉. Thank you! I loved it, too! I have a blue bottle missing a stopper, too. 😊
You could go in and estate sale it !
They need to do more auctions !! That stuff needs to MOVE !!! Or donate
What do you think of the yellow jasperware which was next to the black? Even here in the UK, that yellow is rarer than the black.
will you be selling the blue glass owl stopper?
George, have I told you lately that I love you?
👍🇨🇦🤗
Native Americans grew tobacco and taught the English settlers so tobacco in England came from America
It's late but I wanted to reply to your video IT was wonderful
I would love to have the BLUE CAT STOPPER
YOU DID NOT GIVE THE LOCATION SO IT WOULD BE❤❤ UP TO YOU TO HELP ME
GET IT
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD WANT TO DO THIS
I JUST LIKE STOPPERS
TAKE CARE
