Request re Chinese lacquer furniture
Long ago, a friend gave me three pieces of gorgeous miniature dining room
furniture that were black, sort of like Chinese lacquer, with an Oriental design painted on them in several colors. They were exquisite. I think she bought them at Horchow or Gump's. Definitely not toys. I would love to find them or other furniture of the same quality. Not toys, but very fine, detailed miniatures. Can anyone point me toward a good source? I've been looking around the net and on ebay, but it's hard to tell how fine the quality is. Thanks very much from a first time poster, Smokey |

Hello Smokey,
This is a very quiet group - particularly so, at the present time. I think everyone is off on their holidays. I don't think I can help, apart from asking the obvious - have you tried the searches - Google etc? Good luck, anyway, Jackie "Smokey" Long ago, a friend gave me three pieces of gorgeous miniature dining room furniture that were black, sort of like Chinese lacquer, with an Oriental design painted on them in several colors.

Thanks very much for responding! Yes, I've done some google searches, but
it's hard to tell quality very well by just looking at the pictures. I was thinking if I could just get the name of some really high quality companies, that might help. But I sure appreciate your posting. :-) Smokey "Jackie T" wrote in message ... Hello Smokey, This is a very quiet group - particularly so, at the present time.

This group has been quiet for years due to the number of spammers/adverts etc. It has been less than a year since there was a flurry of messages on here. Last fall there was an extended period of dialogue, but all seem to have left for greener pastures. Seems that everybody either already knows how to do everything, doesn't care to ask, or would rather just pay for it or for having it done. I used to post "How To" articles on here, but got virtually no response, good or bad, so gave it up as a waste of time, after a while. The number of spammers is actually miniscule compared to other newsgroups, and the individual advertisers are usually a one-off deal that are handled through email on a one-on-one basis. I think people are just spending more time on web sites and chat rooms and the like to get the instant gratification.

. Now we've gone from "nobody writes letters anymore" to "nobody writes on the newsgroups anymore." There are many Yahoo groups devoted to minis, one has about 2000 members. There's another group called Small Stuff which started a long, long time ago and that is a large group. These groups offer digests of daily posts and there's lots of questions and answers and lots of info. Newsgroups are difficult for some people to get the hang of using and if they don't hide their email addy's they will get a lot of spam. I know, I had to abandon an email addy of mine that I used when I joined this group a lot of years ago. And then there are the trouble making trollers, something that seems to be rampant in newsgroups. I don't go into the computer newsgroups anymore because of them. I guess the answer to why there's so few posts in this group is that there are so many other options available. Carol S P Miniatures www.spminiatures.com |

I guess the answer to why there's so few posts in this group is that there are so many other options available. Personally I haven't found a forum for mini's that I particularly like. Ummh, actually that's not quite true - I used to use the one on the Dolls House World site but that has been removed. I will continue to visit here as it is obvious that people read it even if they don't post (a bit like me really). Also, I have nowhere to do my *dollshousing* ATM. My workshop was the conservatory attached to the kitchen. This is being pulled down for a kitchen extension. My new workshop will be in a new shed in the garden. It all seems to be taking too long. Sheds aren't just for the boys. This will be mine, all mine. -- JanieB "I prefer rogues to imbeciles, because they sometimes take a rest." [Alexandre Dumas (fils)] |
