I found this IITTALA THULE 50 0Z PITCHER at my fav thrift store. I love glass pitchers. I think it has a lot to do with growing up having had only plastic ones. When I saw it I was intrigued by how it caught the light. Then I picked it up and felt how light and delicate it was, I was sold. I knew nothing of the brand or the design, but I have been told I developed "the eye for quality." I will now accept the compliment and give myself credit for having gained knowledge of well made items, countless hours reading and attending the auction has paid off. The pitcher I paid $2 for and it sold for $76 shipping not included. A great flip for me.

Flip Of the Week: Scandinavian Glass Pitcher
I had had this pitcher for a while, listed on etsy on the high side because I knew it was a sure sell. It is quite beautiful, yet alas I have little kids. So as much as my heart wanted to keep this piece, the practical me said, "NO!"

Nice one!I am still developing my "eye." Every time I think something is well made it ends up being target junk.
