Look at this item I recently purchased at a charity thrift store.
I liked it immediately. It was nestled in amongst the old silver, but it is made out of chrome with acrylic hardware.
It is 14” tall.
It looks a little art deco, a little futuristic. By the way,
that is a ladle coming out of the top.
This was located in what I call a “high end” charity thrift store.
Usually, in this particular store,
if I don’t know what the item is,
I can pretty much rely on what the label says.
It said “Punch Bowl”.
SOLD!
But you know me. Or don’t you?
I love to repurpose things.
I like to keep it on the itty bitty table in the corner of my breakfast room.
It makes a great dispenser for the kids.
They love to sit here and look out the window and
partake of the various treats.
Cheerios, anyone?
Wow! I'm with you. Would have snatched it up in a second. Punch bowl still has me a little "off". For whatever reason, I'm seeing chocolate. And you know that would be amazing with the cheerios! ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteI think it's a lovely Cheerio dispenser! Are there any markings on the bottom as to the maker. For some reason, it has a hotel restaurant look to it. Perhaps it was for punch or maybe soup?
ReplyDeleteI'd a bought it too...in a heartbeat!
