Romantic Limoges, Etc.

This small gathering of cheery china and glass begins with a tiny porcelain egg-shaped Limoges box.

The inch and a half egg is nestled inside a pretty little lidless sugar bowl, also Limoges.

The lovely detail makes it a keeper perhaps to be used to present flowers or as a vanity catchall. Stray pieces of Limoges can often be found for just pennies.



But since delicate china requiring hand washing is a slow mover on the market these days, even sets of Limoges like this delightful one can be found for bargain prices.


A matching platter with no flaws is a bit of a rarity.

Bits and pieces of red transferware find their way into my cupboard as well.

The intricate scenes invite one into a fanciful utopian world.

Even more fun when one when one has visited the site depicted!




Do you have a few little seasonal celebrations to attend? Or maybe one to host? It seems like every week is just packed with them for awhile. In any case, I hope your week is grand!
Ciao! for now!

Jacqueline

    I love all that stuff. We have a set of Limoges left by a great-aunt - I bring it out only for holidays. You are reminding me how lovely it is.

    Happy Pink Saturday!

    I'm a little late visiting from Pink Saturday. Your collection of china and glass is stunning. You really have an eye for photographing your pieces, some of which are my favorites too, the pink and white transferware and all things from Anthropologie! Great Pink Saturday post.......

    I love all the china! And those pretty little pink plates on top of the cake stand. Anthropology you said? ADORE the red transferware. I have cupboards full of dishes & buy more all the time! I think it's a disease!
