Is there any china more delicate than Limoges? The patterns seem endless. I can see where one might make a collection of this French porcelain alone. I have been on the lookout for Limoges tea cups and saucers, and was lucky enough to find one while thrifting on my recent travels.
A sweet little sugar bowl and berry dishes were nearby too. I'm looking forward to a mix and match tea fest with some of my other vintage pieces. These would make a darling gift set as well.
The details are just enchanting. Each berry bowl has a differently rendered flower of the pattern at the center. And I'm loving the peachy pink and mint green together.
More sweet details. . . . Perfect for a midsummer tea.
Delicate and dainty chamomile matches the mood.
I think this china will always remind me of a few sunlit days amid the summer meadows of Washington State. I only wish I had thought to press a few flowers!
Wishing you the softer side of a day in summer!

What a pretty post. I love Limoges china it is so delicate and charming. I have a complete set for 12 in the Artois Rose pattern that I purchased slowly over the years when stores used to have china lay-a-way plans. I am so glad that I did it them...now it would be far too costly.
ReplyDeleteLimoges and light.
ReplyDeleteYou played it so beautifully, Jacqueline.

I only have one Limoges piece and that is a pretty teacup in a soft pink. The delicate color and shape make it a favorite, I can see why you like to collect it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your new found pieces.
what a beautiful pattern. I can hardly ever pass up a limoge tea cup when I see one.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful china and photos. I've never seen that pattern of Limoges but I suppose there are several patterns made by that company. I have two cups and saucers that have the pink flowers on them. They are so delicate aren't they.
ReplyDeleteLovely cool images on a hot day! Years ago my neighbor sold her mother's limoges pieces at her estate sale. I wish I would have bought them! Yours are so pretty and delicate.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th!

Lovely! I have a Limoges chocolate set that I love. It sits in the cabinet and I feel bad that I never use it.
ReplyDeleteThat tea-cup is too cute for words.
ReplyDeleteLimoges is just such a dainty and feminine china to have. There's nothing I love more than tea in a Limoges cup. As I antique around PA on vacation, I've been seeing beautiful linens and I always think of you.
ReplyDeleteHa. I imagined you arranging everyone in their places just so ~ and then having them look at the camera, and say "Brie"! Oui?
ReplyDeleteThis is simply beautiful. Love Limoges. Thanks for the photo of the stamp. I love your details.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to get a few pieces of Limoges from my Mom...whom I believe got them from her Grandmother...2 vegetable tureens with lids,to be used at the table for serving.... small cream and sugar with only 2 cups and 1 saucer to match..They have a very delicate pattern....I have them on the top shelf of my china cabinet...perhaps I should haul them out, and have a look!!! Perhaps take a trip down memory lane, as Mom always used them at Christmas and Easter...:o)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteSofter hues are so refreshing to the soul!You have the most delicate pattern in my favorite soft petal pink and sage green hues. A mid~summer tea sounds delightful!

Beautiful post. I love Limoges and I have a few pieces that I found here and there. The chamomile is so pretty. Did you grow it?

Hi Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteYour new Limoges china is just exquisite! I love the soft pink. I have one cup and a dessert plate but they don't match and are a different pattern than yours. Still lovely though. Thanks for your visit and I hope you have a sweet weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi
so so pretty, J. You always put together the most lovely vignettes of dishes and linens. and oh, those daisies!
ReplyDeleteYour Limoges is wonderful and I have not seen this pattern before. Sweet! I have a few pieces too. I bought a box of dishes at auction a week ago and there were 2 Limoges dishes in the box. A chip or two on them but it makes me love them more.
