Remembering

I was recalling the past shows on the Q.

Tht awful Capidamonte which buyers went ape to purchase. It was learned it was not as genuine as believed. Never liked that stuff.

There were gold shows that had fake items as well. Lots of stuff no longer sold on the Q and I don't wonder why. Younger folks don't want the cutsie stuff and collectables along with many traditional items. A bygone era never to return.

@Puzzle Piece. I remember Capidamonte being sold on HSN. QVC was busy selling many of those glass vases and they both sold tons of dolls.

I think @Kachina624 is right. Didn't the Q sell Fenton Art Glass?

I was in college back then and couldn't afford any of it. Makes me happy I was never a collector of anything. 😊

I remember SteveColentuno selling Capodimonte on QVC . It would always make me laugh because he would look down at the piece and then look up like he was stunned by the beauty of the thing. LOL

I still have Capidimonte pieces in my home,and don't feel it was junk. Who ever made them they were beautiful pieces.

I remember those days, but don't remember any fake stuff being sold by QVC.

Remember Pat's Once in a Lifetime 18k gold shows? She'd wear a beautiful formal gown and the had a guy playing nice music live on piano.

One evening as the show started, they announced he'd been killed in an auto accident on his way to the studio. Everyone was in tears....a very difficult show.

Also teddy bears in addition to dolls. Gund, Steiff, and Vermont Teddy Bears among a few others. I remember the Gund rep, Gary. He was very funny with Mary Beth; she was his straight man.
