It's so easy to become excessive with things you love. If you want one, you want them all. But the eye is charmed by both the single specimen, as in one perfect rose, and by a profusion, as in fields of lavender.
And aren't we suggestible? A color name on a paint chip can send you into a frenzy of cotton. Or a pot of cream. . . .
Is there a color called mottled ironstone?
Would you sprinkle in a few flecks of rust and stir them in?
This little bowl is the newest bloom in my china garden. The mark of her name reads to me like a prize winning rosebud in a David Austin catalog.
I thought I would introduce her to you alongside the other creamy wares. Pots or pitchers. We make room for them all.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Ciao! for now!
Jacqueline
And guess what!
It's time for another White Wednesday
Don't miss the party!
This post is so dreamy and seeing all of the lovelies is definitely a "pot of cream." So soft and pretty.

What a pretty dish, one of my favorite combinations...creamy white and just a little fagile flower. What is there about white dishes that makes them so appealing...maybe the simplicity. Lovely post.(-:
ReplyDeleteI so agree once you find something you love you want more...but I have learned while cleaning my studio that one was just enough for me right now.
ReplyDeleteI had to take back somethings that I really loved but did not need.
It is the hardest thing for a collector to do.
Your collection is just beautiful and the more grungey and piece is the more I love it.

What a wonderful color on that paint chip. The name says it all. I love all of the names on paint chips, they are fun to look through.

ReplyDeleteWhat is it about white that makes it so beautiful? Love your collection. I have been collecting white pitcher, tureens, plates, etc. You are right - one is beautiful AND a lot are beautiful! Linda
ReplyDeleteWhite Wed. is a great way to meet new blogs. I've bookmarked you and plan to revisit often. Love the whiteness!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week.

Jacqueline ~ I've probably told you this before, but I think you and I share a brain! lol! Our eyes and hearts are drawn to the same white goodness whether it's a paint chip or a flower frog or a petite pitcher. Just plain goodness through and through.... :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW to you!

Your ironstone collection is just lovely! I am a big fan of pitchers, too. Just love their shape. I've just recently found a few at some of my favorite antique haunts. :) Love your new mottled ironstone bowl. I think those discolorations add such charm.
ReplyDeleteHi! Beautiful post which led me to think that Kathleen should name a shade herself and call it White Wednesday!
