I'll Just Keep Dreaming...

I got up at 4am this morning to bid on this GORGEOUS vintage enamel pitcher & mugs on EBay. Unfortunately, in the last 10 seconds of the auction, the price DOUBLED (yes - doubled) in price then went up a few more times. It was very disappointing but I just wasn't willing to go up to $128.50 + $16.50 for shipping (to my friend in the USA that kindly said I could ship to her as the auction dude wouldn't ship out of the USA)!! :(

If anybody can find these for me for less, I'll be very happy!!

Vintage Arabia FINEL Enamel Pitcher and 3 Mugs Kaj Franck


Up for auction is a wonderful vintage Mid Century Modern Arabia FINEL white pitcher and 3 mug set, with the red hearts, designed by Kaj Franck of Finland. This hard-to-find set still has the silver label on all the pieces with FINEL, Wartsila, Finland. The pitcher measures 7 ½” x 4 ½” and the mugs each measure 3” x 3”. This vintage set is in excellent like-new condition. It looks like it has never been used! The only flaw is a scratch/chip on the side of the handle on the pitcher, and an imperfection in the bottom of a red heart on one of the mugs, both shown in pictures. There is no shelf wear or scratches on the bottom of any of the pieces. This set is a real find!!!

hey love, too bad about missing the item. But why don't you try Etsy? You could probably find someone who makes those and they can ship them to you in CT. Or you might be able to find something similar. I am sure of it, check out http://www.etsy.com/shop/pilgrimcottage
