Brass petal bowls from Paris Flea Market


I am trying to find the perfect spot for my treasures...starting with these brass petal bowls...I have no idea what they are, flower pots or servers of some sort...if you know, please tell me..doubtful that they are valuable, but they sure make me happy!

I bought them at Vanves for 4E each...I was at the market early on a Sat morning, and saw a small crowd gathering around a seller who was unloading things from a sack...I pushed my way forward and when these came out I immediately asked him to name his price...we settled on 8E for the two...


What do you think?  Keep them on the coffee table?

ps...i don't speak french  - just so you know!...i have a handful of words, i know my numbers...and I am not shy when it comes to bargaining!!!!
pss....sorry the photos are so dark, I will tweak that at nap time...

  3. Pretty photos in my opinion. The darkness gives them drama. Its funny, I would not have chosen these on my own or seen their potential, but they work really well in your home. Well done.

  5. Great finds - I just love little dishes!! They're good for keeping on your nightstand too for tiny thingies - rings, bobbypins, watch, etc.
