Last week I had to go pick up an ebay purchase (an old lamp, of course) and while I was at this lady's house she commented that she still had some things left that hadn't sold on ebay. She's moving into a smaller home and has been selling off lots of "stuff". She asked me if I would like to take a look and of course, being a bargain hunter, as we all are, I naturally said yes.
I found this absolutely divine "whatever". It's meant to be scales, of course, but purely for decoration, so I don't really know what to call it, except GORGEOUS!!
I couldn't believe my luck and couldn't understand why no-one bought it. I know it's not of any particular use, but most of my things aren't, they're just to look at and admire. I know we all have LOTS of stuff like that.
Anyway, this lady just wanted to get rid of it and said I could have it for $20. Almost passed out. I grabbed it and ran-lol. It is now residing in the centre of my dining room table and looks most impressive. Wouldn't the centre make a wonderful lamp base-lol. John has threatened me not to touch it, he says we have enough lamps. Still........
Hugz, Coll :-}

I have one just like it Colleen, except I dont have the scales, so now I know what it was originally! I had no idea!Im glad I checked your blog, and you got it at a bargain price, I paid much more, without the scales!!

So very pretty! I have a similar one with candles on each "pan" to balance it, but mine isn't nearly as gorgeous as yours!

This is gorgeous, just as it is! I am sure I saw one similar go on ebay for a fortune once, I think it was a popular seller. Lucky you with the bargain! You should put one of Shannon's cupcakes in each dish?
