High Contrast Grey.

After going to the antiques market on the outside of the covered market of Les Halles every Thursday for weeks I have finally found my first treasure within my price range.

A silver teacup and saucer for only 5 euros. When I asked price I was so surprised than I asked the price back to the vendor and then showed 5 euros to make sure I wasn’t confusing numbers.

I have tried looking up what the stamps mean, but it still feels convoluted. I just need to find a book on such things.

Feeling all proud of my find I summoned the courage to ask the antique postcard dealer if he had any postcards of naked ladies from the ‘fin de siècle,’ he said no, asked if I meant men, I answered no, I mean ladies, and he said no again, but… I didn’t get the creepy stink eye to the degree I was expecting to get.
