Some time ago I was watching a piece on ebay that was very similar to this one.  I went back and forth on buying it.  For some reason I was really attracted to the photos.  In the end I didn’t buy it.  I didn’t need it, and I thought, from experience, that it would be difficult to eventually resell.

A few weeks ago I came across this set at Around the Block.  I was taken by the colour and gravitated to it right away.  While I still don’t need it, and I probably won’t be able to resell it eventually, I decided to buy it.  It wasn’t super expensive, it looks gorgeous and I can always gift it to someone.

The colour is very rich and the camera (a/k/a the photographer – me) doesn’t really do it justice.  This photo doesn’t show the richness of the red.  I took the close-up to give a better sense.  Still there is alot of ‘brown’ in the shade and I am sure that there is an appropriate name for this tint – cognac?  Maybe too brown.  

There is a label that says “Made in Czechoslovakia” but other than that, I likely will never know much about this pretty set.
