Buy a book about Bonsai. There are several styles of shaping the tree. You can start cheap by buying a tree at any big box or nurseries. Majolica was invented in Italy by artist Dellarobia. I have seen a pair of busts of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. For the process being the late 1400s, nothing being made today matches the color intensity. Art school taught me to pronounce cloisonne like cloy-son-nay. The cloi part is the same as cloister.
I so wish you would start your own channel, you have so much knowledge & could teach us so much! Have you ever thought about it? I'm sure it would grow quickly..:)
@@LindaKayHolevas Thanks for your compliment. I don't think that a channel is in my future. I have Parkinson's disease, drop a lot of stuff and have a tendency to fall. What I do recommend is to watch some of these channels that deal with antiques, vintage and collectables. I also think that it's good to understand design in any field of the above. It's ok to buy because you like something, but it's better to know why you like it. This opens up a variety of different ways to increase your sales. Always remember that it ain't got to go to your house. But the best at the best price and you will rarely go wrong with the resale.
@@danielclaeys7598 - I am sorry to hear about your Parkinson's, that has got to be a struggle for you So many of us take our health for granted, & that is a good reminder to be thankful everyday for the small things, like being able to get out of bed & walk across the room. I so much appreciate you taking the time to answer me, as I highly respect your opinion. The advice you've given me is like gold, I've never really thought about why I liked something, but that makes a lot of sense. It seems the older I get the more I want to learn about everything around me. I wish I had the same drive when I was in school long ago, but better late than never I suppose. Thank you again & God bless & keep you.
Carlinville is one of my favorite towns.Those Bonsais were gorgeous. Thank you for explaining Majolica, cloisonne, tumble ups and more - educating us along your shopping journeys is a very nice bonus.
Ive noticed in recent videos the explanations have been more thorough and frequent, and very educational. It's a wonderful bonus to the videos and very helpful as I source. So enjoy finding treasures I've learned about in these thrifter videos 👍
Barb- have you tried baking soda on the cloudy vase you bought? I have found that adding baking soda to water in the vase and let it sit in it for a while works wonders.
What a fun little trip! I am amazed to see the antique milk glass in such great condition. Thanks for telling us about the glass process to make the multi colored flowers. So pretty!
Wow. Good score Barb. Jeffery i have fallen in love with the antique milk glass because of you. I don't buy an other milk glass but that. Thank you for the addiction. 😂😂😂😂
I really enjoyed this video. It is so informative, you are so knowledgeable. I love watching your videos. I also love when Barb comes along with you. Have a very blessed day.🙏🙂❤🙂🙏
Try CLR, it works really well. Try it on that little green vase. I know you don’t know me, but I wouldn’t want to harm any of your belongings. I did it on a clear glass vase and I was surprised how well it worked.
You video bwas fantastic, loved it soooo much. Especially love your little girl and ducky story, and your voice was so cute, but I sure hope the ducks don't eat her lol. ❤❤❤
If the glass is realy affected there sadly is no remedy. I bought a beautiful vase to resell, thinking I could get it clear again, unfortunately it did not work, so now I can not sell it because it is still cloudy. You can take a chance when something is realy cheap, but not with the more expensive stuff.
Love seeing familiar places from long ago. There used to be a really good little restaurant that sold the best chili and vegetable soup. I think it closed but it seems like they sell the canned soups. Maybe Ray's Chili? Hmm not sure but now I want some!
It’s funny, I’m in the UK and we have a whole load of different things in our charity shops and antique shops. Do you ever travel and look to see how things are different much further away from your local area? It would be fascinating to see if availability and type is different on different coasts.
I want to shop with you, Jeffrey. Too bad I live in WA State. I collect vintage non-commercial perfume bottles, powder jars, antique half dolls, some Fostoria and Depression glass.
Love this video… I was thinking that people might not realize how knowledgeable you really are because you just slip in the info as you are going along
For cloudy glass, I tried the denture tabs, vinegar, CLR, toilet cleaner(it's acidic to remove build up), and even scrubbed it but to no avail. I have 3 pieces of vintage glass that looked like they cleared up a little but once they dried the cloudiness was back D:
Sometimes the glass has been etched by chemicals like automatic dishwasher detergent or the chemicals in hard water. If that's the case, there's not much chance of getting rid of the cloudiness. Dishwashers should not be used for older glass or ceramics as it ruins the finish, clouds the material, and etches the surface, it also pits and removes metallic trimwork, like gold plate rims.
Hello Jeffrey, and Barb. I love Bonsai trees. I had one for years then it just died. I love the gold leaf glasses. My mother had those. I am collecting them for my daughter. I think the fuzz on the sled is fake snow from a display.
once again I said, "maybe later".. its one of those things that I can prolong for years.. i want the time that i get it to mark something significant so i can associate a memory with it.
I had it sitting in water for a couple months.. changed out the water frequently.. but it was shriveling up and looking rotten, lol. i don't know.... when I opened it originally it was a little smashed, but I thought it could recover.
FYI: Harlequin Pottery is as old as Vintage Fiestaware- it was introduced by Homer Laughlin in 1936 and sold exclusively through Woolworth Company.

Hi Daniel, in France we pronounce it clo.a.son.nay - from cloison. But it's like déjà vu, at the end everybody knows what you mean 🙂Have a nice day!

I really like that you and Barb get along so well. Enjoy your show.
The Harlequin line was made by Homer Laughlin for Woolworth. This is the dinnerware I grew up with.
LOL - "Jeffrey " what is this? Barb said 's bird ! Timestamp 6:47 love Barb's laugh
I really enjoy when you and Barb shop together and how you ask her opinion on things.
Carlinville is one of my favorite towns.Those Bonsais were gorgeous. Thank you for explaining Majolica, cloisonne, tumble ups and more - educating us along your shopping journeys is a very nice bonus.

In a very teaching mood in this video. I love it.
Barb’s blue vase is an LE Smith “Thousand Eye” :) ❤️
That blue swung glass vase for 20.00 Barb picked up was beautiful! Did she buy it? Love the pink and blue shakers! 💕🦩
Good morning Jeffrey and Barb 🌞
Good call on that darling Santa Sleigh.
Love it!
The Cloisonne were really pretty, too.
Hi Barb! I’ve missed you. That blue swung vase is epic!
The red sleigh would be adorable with knee huggers in it and a bottle brush tree. Love your videos especially this type.
When Barb’s in the thumbnail, I always watch, she is darling!
I agree Barb is darling. I hope Jeffery knows how blessed he is to have her in his life!!
Good morning. Thanks to you both for sharing your knowledge with us. I like when you explain things and share your passion. Have a great day.
How fun!! So cool to hear a young person who knows his glass and collectibles! Nice work!!
I made a bonsai from a little pine volunteer from the yard. It is now 2 yrs old. The bonsai were gorgeous!
Barb- have you tried baking soda on the cloudy vase you bought? I have found that adding baking soda to water in the vase and let it sit in it for a while works wonders.
I have also in the past used diluted sudsy ammonia to clean cloudy glass. It can work very well on some dirty glass and crystal.
Thank you for going into detail on the terms and how things are made. Very interesting. I’m learning every day watching you and Barb.
I had a little bonsai tree about 6” tall but my cat dug it up and ate half of it!!
What a fun little trip! I am amazed to see the antique milk glass in such great condition. Thanks for telling us about the glass process to make the multi colored flowers. So pretty!
Awww I could of shopped there with you guys all day. Decent prices and cool things. You were sharing your knowledge Professor Jeffery.
I ❤️ strolling the square in Carlinville!! It’s been years but all looks near the same. Great video! 👍👍
I live in Carlinville. Glad you came to check out the antique store.
I love those “tumble up” pitchers! 😍 I have a boring plain glass one but would love a painted one!
Vinegar, white clear vinegar. Pour in vase let soak for hour or even overnight and then scrub with bottle brush and warm soapy water
As always enjoy Barb and you banter while shopping.
Y’all go to so many fascinating places. I love that old biscuit jar you picked up with the roses 🌹. It is absolutely beautiful.🥰
Wow. Good score Barb. Jeffery i have fallen in love with the antique milk glass because of you. I don't buy an other milk glass but that. Thank you for the addiction. 😂😂😂😂

Beautiful vase Barb! Love the color!
Harlequin is my favorite Fiesta Ware.
Morning Jeffrey and Barb happy thrifting
I enjoyed this store! As always enjoyed the two of you.

Love all the pretties you bought. ❤
Barb that vase is gorgeous.
Those bonsai plants are amazing! I want one!
Love the milk glass biscuit jar.
You were in a teachy mood today thank you I learned a lot in this video 😊 🍎🍎🍎
Put sand and vinegar in the vase and let it work for some time then shake it .
Works for me.
For cloudy glass, soak with a Polident tablet. Most of the time it works great. Removes perfume residue and just plain dirt.
If the glass is realy affected there sadly is no remedy. I bought a beautiful vase to resell, thinking I could get it clear again, unfortunately it did not work, so now I can not sell it because it is still cloudy. You can take a chance when something is realy cheap, but not with the more expensive stuff.
I bonsai succulent bushes like jade trees. They live forever and they aren't as fussy as traditional bonsai trees like pine etc.
Hi Jeffery and Barb, thank you for so much knowledge on the glassware. But, you didn't get the BITTERSWEET!!!!!!
Love seeing familiar places from long ago. There used to be a really good little restaurant that sold the best chili and vegetable soup. I think it closed but it seems like they sell the canned soups. Maybe Ray's Chili? Hmm not sure but now I want some!
Now, me too :)
I believe it was Taylor’s chili and they had great butter bean soup! I lived in Carlinville back in the early 60s.
@@eunicehettenhausen4396 yes! Taylor's chili!
What a nice town. Beautiful brick
I loved all the beautiful things in that shop.
Wife and I had a very successful Antique Crystal Business (Heisey; Fostoria; Cambridge) until EBAY Came alone lol
So informative Jeffery. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us it will help us when we shop.
The roots shape the top of a tree. They make the bonsai by shaping the roots.
The jadite teardrop is called Swedish Modern.
The teaching was great in this vblog.

i really want to go to Europe and thrift!!
@@RealNiftyVintage wouldn't that be a great series! GOALS!
Try putting vinegar & water in vases, soak until cloudiness is softened then clean.
Try some crushed ice either salt and lemon juice that might help with cloudiness
🦃🦃🦃Hope y'all have a nice Thanksgiving🦃🦃🦃
Love your adventures as always!
White vinegar mixed with some water to remove cloudiness from glass, leave it stand for a bit.
Jeffrey, you always find such cool places to shop. You got some great finds today.
Wonderful video. You got some nice things. Love that you took care to inform us about so many things. I learned quite a bit. Thank you
Try vinegar in glass to clear the cloudiness.
Loved so many items you got today! Now, I hope I don't get outbid
Hey Jeffery and Barb!
Many interesting things and fun things, thanks for taking us along. Much love and many blessings
Fantastic shop along Jeffery 😍
I want to shop with you, Jeffrey. Too bad I live in WA State. I collect vintage non-commercial perfume bottles, powder jars, antique half dolls, some Fostoria and Depression glass.
Enjoyed.
Love this video… I was thinking that people might not realize how knowledgeable you really are because you just slip in the info as you are going along
Great finds. I've never even heard of that town and I'm from Illinois
Great finds!
Harlequin is by Homer Laughlin
Just looked up the Harlequin cups and saucers. Made by Homer Laughlin sold exclusively at Woolworths. Prices low on EBay.
For cloudy glass, I tried the denture tabs, vinegar, CLR, toilet cleaner(it's acidic to remove build up), and even scrubbed it but to no avail. I have 3 pieces of vintage glass that looked like they cleared up a little but once they dried the cloudiness was back D:

That was fantastic!
Hi Jeffrey n Barb 👋
That was a great trip!
Fun video...
I've had good luck with alcohol for cloudy glass
I've flown on Piedmont many years ago .
Very good video
Harlequin was made by the same designer as Fiestaware for Homer laughlin and was sold out of Woolworths
Hi Jefd. Do you remember how much the yellow Westinghouse fridge containers were? Thanks 😊
I think the tag
read $25, though I couldn't see very clearly.
I love the big blue stretch glass Barb bought! How much was it??
I think she said $20 - great price!
Hello Jeffrey, and Barb. I love Bonsai trees. I had one for years then it just died.
I love the gold leaf glasses. My mother had those. I am collecting them for my daughter.
I think the fuzz on the sled is fake snow from a display.
So did you get a bonsai tree ??
Yall found some great deals for sure..
once again I said, "maybe later".. its one of those things that I can prolong for years.. i want the time that i get it to mark something significant so i can associate a memory with it.
@@RealNiftyVintage ohhhhh
Bonsais are difficult to keep alive for most people
Hey Jeffrey- what is the status of your Plumeria?
I had it sitting in water for a couple months.. changed out the water frequently.. but it was shriveling up and looking rotten, lol. i don't know.... when I opened it originally it was a little smashed, but I thought it could recover.
@@RealNiftyVintage oh, it didn't need rooting. It was ready to go into soil. They grow easily.
💗
☃️❄☃️❄♥️♥️♥️
I can keep phalaenopsis orchids alive, but I kill bonsai trees. Death count is five. Ugh!
💖💖
💞
❤️❤️
Jeffrey I would love to purchase the blue and pink shakers. Please contact me
Is Barb your sister?
No, she is Aaron’s sister. Just Jeffrey’s vintage pal.
👩🏻🦳👍❤️ ohio
