Resource/art: TEMPTING… more porcelain!

8 September, 2008 at 10:55 pm Leave a comment

I’ve walked past a small antiques shop today and just had to take a picture of the following object. I don’t think it’s 18th century as claimed, but 19th century (for 18th century, the price would be far too low), but still, it’s extremely pretty and if I had the money, I’d be more than tempted to buy it.

Then again, the predominant style in my flat is “Tiki meets Ikea”, so it might be a good thing moths are flying out of my wallet…

DO YOU WANT SOME TEA, DEAR…?

The teapot is French (Limoges), the teapot-warmer English. That’s what I call “peaceful co-existence”!

Click the pictures to see them in a larger size.

Pretty, pretty, pretty…
