Guess the cost ??
I was passing a charity shop and this caught my eye in the window. I passed the same shop again on Friday and this time I went in to haggle the price down but no luck, so I bought it anyway. I then worried that I'd paid too much on a whim for something I'm unlikely to use that often (idea is to use as a serving bowl).
How much would you have parted with for a bowl that originally had a matching jug? It has no cracks and although slightly faded the colours are quite nice.
I wasn't planning on offering a prize but we'll see how many of you get it correct- I might be persuaded to change my mind !!
PS I WILL POST THE ANSWER TOMORROW (TUES 15th) so please come back then to find out.

Is it the size of a bowl that would have been used to wash up with, before indoor plumbing? If so, if I really like it and could justify using it to serve a large salad at a party, etc. $50.00 ( I think that's about 100.00 pounds now. Sorry no pounds or euros on my keyboard.)
eighteen pounds
Who made it?
it depends on if it is realy china or what...
I would pay no nore than $10 for it- but I am horribly cheap. If it is realy china, probably a little more.
john you naughty boy I know you want to google it, that's why I purposely didn't give any details; made by F.Winkle (Whieldon Ware) does that help!!
£20.Then we'll haggle!
£15.
It is pretty - antique? The matching pitcher would have been nice to have too -
A complete set I'd say 100 pounds...so just the bowl? 40 pounds.
Oooh, that's lovely. I reckon I'd pay $50. Much more if it had the pitcher with it.
I'm no good at guessing how much things should cost and the whole trying to break it into different money gives me a headache. It's very pretty though I love that kind of stuff.
12 quid.
It is very pretty but it's not my style. I'm much more minimilist. But I know nothing of this sort of thing so I'll guess 30 euros.
enidd's first comment went missing :-(
so sam guessed 18 and beccy guessed 15, and they know you, so enidd will be in the middle. £16.50
I am thinking that Sam Beccy and Enidd are probably about right. it looks like one of my Grandmother's ones for the 1930s. I'll go for £19 just to be different!
It's gorgeous! 25 pounds.
When are you going to put us out of our misery?
Beccy be patient you never know I might get a few more guesses with fun monday visitors.
ANSWER TOMORROW (TUES 15th) SO PLEASE COME BACK THEN.
I know, I know. I'll tell - for a price.
embee i won't dare you, but remember who cooks in this house!!
Itis lovely and you know what - at our age - it is worth whatever we are willing to pay for it. (If you hadn't bought it you would kick yourself for letting ti get away!)
70 pounds
It's beautiful!
wendy I'm glad I bought it.
Kila thanks for joining in you'll see the answer in today's post.
