I feel old

I feel old… no, correct that. I feel antique.
Took a little walk, Saturday, from my Market booth to Oregon Art Supply, and on the way, I looked in at the neighboring antique store.
What I found… okay, let's see if you spot it.
oh look, a sidewalk sale!50% off!customers swarm inhey, wait a minutewhaddya mean, antique?
Yup, that's an antique Off Ceramics Cow-handled mug, circa oh, 1989 or '90--maybe '91. Very white clay body and glaze, almost majolica-like; I vaguely remember experimenting with cone six oxidation, making copper green, chrome-tin red and of course, cobalt blue cows. Price was marked $6, which seems about right to me.

I took it inside and had a laugh about it with the salesgirl. She didn't know where they'd got it, though she said the owner had be visiting estate sales lately, so there's another customer I've lost.

A few minutes later, on my way back from the art supply, I saw a teenager girl pick it up and check the price. Don't know if she bought it, but it made me feel happy to consider the possibility.
