Sasieni Mayfair 688 (Ashford)

[riff raff]

Another Sasieni 2nd line Ashford shape, I can't resist them.  This one a 688SN.  The tenon is threaded for a stinger, so I suspect it is from early in the Family Era?

Full details here.  The bowl was in terrific shape and stem nearly mint - it had one tiny hairline crack on top of the button.

This one will eventually be resold.

Whoa. Now THAT’S oxidation! Musta been some genuine elbow grease used on that one.

The Oxy-Clean does most of the work, once soft, it comes off pretty easily.

Interesting. Never of oxi-clean being used.


Do you know how to size your photos before posting?

Powdered clothes detergent, it works well (just use a pinch).

Sorry about the pix, I usually copy directly out of the Reborn site, but for those, I chose "open image" first, so it was expanded. Back to normal now...

Hmmm...good info. Thanks.

No worries re the pics. But when they’re so big I can’t read the text without zooming. Huge burden.
