The water decanter is missing the glass that goes on top.

I know!  You can't beat the price I paid!  It came from a vendor who usually doesn't sell this kind of stuff he is more into wine barrels tulip bulb crates from Holland pub advertisement and that kind of thing.  But I always stop by and talk to him because he is very nice I had bought something else that day from him and saw the glass be didnt even know he had much less what it was so I got a great deal!  :D

This mirror was just appraised in preperation for the move.  It appraised for 350 dollars. So this mirror and the scale were well worth the purchase!  :) especially the mirror paying only about 15 dollars! !

I know!  The appraisal makes me very sad that I will not be able to return to tongeren again!  The deals are amazing and an antiquers dream! ! A few of my best deals were a louis vi bombay chest of drawers paid 100 worth 500. And many florentine trays my regular vendors would give me or only charge five dollar appraised at 75 dollars each!! And florentine furniture came back high also paid very little! Wish I could keep shopping!
