I have found glass vases that have a large mouth and get skinnier on bottom and usually flat. I turned it over, glued a glass lid from a broken sugar bowl and used a beautiful plate for base. It really came out cute as a cloche. I find wine glasses even turned upside down still look like a wine glass,lol. That grill is not a grill. They use them in high end restaurants and usually put chateau brieand (cant spell, a delicious meat,lol) and mashed potatoes in them to keep warm and go from table to table to serve.

It's next to impossible to find Ironstone in my area, even at the Antique stores, and for you to find all of those amazing pieces is incredible! And what a score on all those wooden hangers! They are the best for hanging your clothes! Lastly, the shelf brackets are beautiful!
