Framed Appalachian landscape painting, 16x20 in
I lost my framed oil painting of a misty Appalachian landscape yesterday around 3pm near Taylor Books on Capitol Street in Charleston, WV. It's a 16x20 inch canvas in a matte black frame with a thin gold inner rim. The scene shows blue-gray mountains, a winding silver river, and evergreen pines reflecting the late-day light. There's a small dent in the bottom left corner of the frame, and the lower right corner bears a pencil signature 'A. Reed 2019'. On the back there's a tiny sticker with the West Virginia state flag design. This piece has sentimental value - gift from my grandmother who loved these hills. If someone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.
Hand-painted koi porcelain vase
Found a hand-painted porcelain vase this morning around 9:15am behind Capitol Market in Charleston, West Virginia's Old Market District. It's about 8 inches tall with a slender neck, glossy cobalt blue glaze, and delicate gold trim along the rim. A running koi fish motif circles the body, and there's a tiny maker's mark on the bottom that looks like 'A. Lin.' The rim has a small chip, and there are a few age-related crazing lines in the glaze. It feels like a special piece—maybe a gift—and I’d love to see it back with its owner if you recognize it.
