A lovely way to send a Sunday afternoon, antique shopping with a friend where I am not tempted to retrieve anything. So much fun to watch and sip a cup of tea in a vintage teacup. Thank you for the tag along.

[@earlgrey3210]

The lamp has Arts & Crafts elements. Neat! ❤

[@LadyMaryBeth]

So tempted to load it in the car.

[@marymcfarland2089]

I could stay there for weeks on end. Just loooove the Spode Cowslip. So unlike what comes out today. Thanks for sharing.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

It always makes me smile when I see it - it was what my grandmother used for everyday when I was a child. I wish I had it!

Lonny's booth is a feast for the eyes with a wonderful variety of both stylish and whimsical items that create a such a magical setting!!✨✨✨

Thank you for visiting with me at AG ANTIQUES. The Blue Willow Story is very interesting: Once upon a time, Koong-se a young woman of great beauty fell in love with Chang, her father’s accountant. Enraged when he discovers their love, he banishes the obviously lower class young man and constructs a wall to enforce their separation. Daily the girl walks to the property’s edge and stands beneath the willow tree, gazing out across the sea and dreaming of her love. She despairs when she learns her father plans to marry her to a Duke. But on the evening before her wedding, she escapes with her one true love; they race across the bridge and flee on the Duke’s own ship! Sadly, their union isn’t meant to last. The Duke tracks them to an island where they’ve built a beautiful life, and he slays Chang, leaving Koong-se bereft. She dies of a broken heart. The gods take pity on the pair and turn them into doves, allowing them to fly together forever." (Story credit goes to: adirondackgirlatheart.com History & Values of Blue Willow)

[@marybrand1977]

Always enjoy your trips to antique stores.

[@marybeth4002]

47 Blue Willow Plates!! That was a surprise. I not only love to see what each shop has to offer - but I enjoy seeing how all the goods are showcased and the way they compliment each other. Lady Mary Beth, you must love what you do because it really shows in your informative and creative videos. Thank you :)

[@LadyMaryBeth]

I am like a kid a candy store. 🍭

The cut glass pitcher you showed with the flower pattern for $125, I have an extensive collection of it. It started with a pitcher my Mom got in1955 as a wedding gift.💖👍

[@michelleseveney9113]

Such beautiful things you featured today! Love love the Blue Willow! 💙💙 Brings back memories of dinner at my Grandma’s house ❤️

[@LadyMaryBeth]

It’s a classic pattern. Glad you have sweet memories of Blue Willow. 💙🤍

In the cigarette stand I could see the Merci brand chocolates in them for Valentines Day! They are long and slender in beautiful wrapping like a cigarette! Love your channel and all I’m learning!!!❤️

[@tinameunier163]

I’d use the cigarette holder as a serving piece for Lindt chocolate sticks on top and assorted chocolates on the lower portion

I just bought that pretty pitcher that you said was 100 years old at a estate sale this weekend for $35.00! Thank you for showing it because I didn't know anything about it. That was my first ever estate sale to go to. I have been binging on your videos and learning a lot.

[@peewee2025]

I used my footed crystal bowl to showcase my own collection of sea glass pieces I found along beaches. Filled it with water to highlight the colors. I'm going to do a before-and-after video of me cleaning the bowl out because the calcium built up and left a ring. When cleaned it is stunning to see in the sunlight.

[@gabeee4332]

I'd use distilled water if I was you...or no water at all 🤔

As a German immigrant living in Kentucky I’m so impressed by your German language abilities and your pronunciation.

That chest of drawers would be mine. Yes, I agree re storing spirits in lead crystal. Keep in dark bottles away from light but serve in something stunning x

I loved the giant brass deer!!

28:48 I collect the white version of this Versace pattern, it's Rosenthal Studio Line, patterns Mythos and Ikarus. It's so hard to find! I was lucky to find the coffee pot on Etsy but the seller didn't package it very well and it broke in the mail 😭Broke my heart. This store is amazing! Really enjoyed the video, thanks!

[@LadyMaryBeth]

So sad that it arrived broken. Thanks for the pattern insight.

[@mw10259]

THANK YOU MARTHA

[@NinaRossBusiness]

@6:53 I purchased one of these about 25 years ago on an antique shopping trip near Dallas. It even has the original box The planter did look like Jackie Kennedy to me. I will need to visit this store as well. They have a lot of beautiful items. Thank you for taking us along!

[@susprime7018]

The basket weave oyster dish looks like majolica. Good idea, silver tray used for nativity scene base for a Lladro nativity or even interesting juxtaposition with a rustic nativity. Yes, it is Jackie Kennedy. Looks like they have Wedgwood Williamsburg potpourri pattern.

[@amysanders3321]

I immediately thought that planter looked like Jackie O!

[@GreyGhost117]

Cigarette frog would be a beautiful makeup brush holder.

[@neldajaarda5828]

Flower buds would be great in the cigarette holder

[@gabeee4332]

Most beautiful thing is to hang oyster plates on the wall in a dining room wish they weren't so expensive ❤

[@TraciLMiller]

Mary Beth!!! I purchased 20 Churchill Blue Willow plates a few years ago and they are my every day dishes and have added antique serve ware pieces to the collections as well as bowls that are dishwasher safe. I also collect green and white porcelain ginger jars and vases which are so so hard to find, I will be calling the store! Always look forward to your videos and learning something new!

[@afolsom685]

Hi Mary Beth. This was wonderful. So many beautiful things. And made much better than most things these days. Oh my word...I sound like my grandparent! I agree...looks like Jackie. Take care.

I love those golden chairs, so pretty. Recently went to an antique shop and got this antique biscuit jar from germany. I don't know how old it is, haven't researched it and it has a few chips on the lid. I also overspent on a jade cat

[@earlgrey3210]

Fabulous lacquerware panels. Great idea to use as a backdrop in a bedroom.😊

[@susane8109]

LMB, thank you for all the wonderful videos! Please, if you ever come across a Waterford dish commemorating the Statue of Liberty’s centennial in 1986, I’d be so grateful to know where to get it! My late Godmother (who was my mother’s older sister) got it in NYC when she and my uncle were there that year, and they generously gave it to me. As I was walking to my china cabinet to put it in a safe place, I fumbled and it shattered into hundreds of beautiful pieces. I was shattered as well. I live in Houston, and look wherever I go, but so far no luck. Thank you again for making information so beautiful!

[@LadyMaryBeth]

Replacing this commemorative plate is possible. Take a look at this one on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/194265821393?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-IoNQNNHSYC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=BzYU9CtVSA-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@susane8109]

Thank you so much! I like to touch and feel glass, so I hadn’t even looked on eBay, but I may just have to bite the bullet. I hadn’t realized that they were numbered, and that there were so few. It certainly explains why I haven’t found it in the wild yet! ❤️😊

[@wightwick13]

Florist carnations interspersed with smaller carnations varieties for the cigarette holder. You could change the colour of white carnations to match holder, decor or occasion by putting food colouring in the water. Have done green for St. Patrick’s Day as well as pink and blue for baby showers. Think tea and miniature roses would work well too.

[@suzannekosic4088]

Yes! She does resemble Jackie Kennedy.

[@ruthkendall5486]

I’m sure that you are aware, Copeland china was later bought buy Spode. This blue and white set is very old as it doesn’t share the back stamp with Spode. I’m envious!

[@LadyMaryBeth]

Yes! You are correct about Copeland Spode. The colors are perfect for all seasons.

[@angelaevans1636]

Thank you Lady Mary Beth for introducing us to this antique shop. Love the chaise long, crystal rose bowl, cigarette frog which I would use for flowers or makeup brushes and definitely looking for a set of porcelain oyster plates and sterling oyster forks. (Very hard to find)

Over the top for me

[@miguelguzman2672]

Hi Lady Mary Beth, I’ve done most of my antique hunting in Germany. I just visited my sister in San Antonio, Texas, and of course I could not miss the chance to visit the local antique and thrift shops. This was my first time antique hunting in the U.S, I was shocked with the prices! 30, 50 bucks for ceramics that in Germany would only cost 1 or 2 Euros. Why do you think this is? Grüße von Kleve 😊

[@LadyMaryBeth]

Liebe Grüße aus Houston! It’s all about market demand. This generation in Germany has no appreciation for fine tabletop. Their version is IKEA and all white. This means you get deals at the Flohmarkt. Sterling and silverplate is much cheaper on the secondary market in the U.S. Shop the best of both worlds. 🌎 🌍 🌏

Dear Lady Mary Beth... May I ask how much the Waterford lamps were and what would be a fair value these days? As always, it was a lovely presentation. Thank you for taking us along. 💕

[@LadyMaryBeth]

I inquired after filming, since no visible price tag. Lamps are $195 each and this is a great price.

[@Melpomenes17]

I don't know if you answer questions ..but my husband bought me a beautiful piece of crystal and the only marking on it is an acid etched of a. M ..on the bottom
