A Green Garden of Porcelain
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 29th of July is “different shades of green”. If you follow my photostream, or observe some of my entries for colour themes for “Looking Close on Friday” you might imagine that I would choose pieces from my Playmobil collection. However, as I have done that before, I found inspiration elsewhere. In my dining room, which is also where I keep my laptop, I have a beautiful French Art Deco china cabinet full of Carlton Ware from the 1920s and 1930s. My top shelf consists of “Rouge Royale” Carlton Ware, and the second shelf consists of “Vert Royale” Carlton Ware, and that is where I took my inspiration from for this week’s theme.
I love and collect many different kinds of porcelain, so it didn’t take me long to gather just a small selection of green coloured pieces in different shades. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
The pieces in the front row from left to right are: a Carlton Ware 1920s gilt eau-de-nil jug and bowl, a Wedgwood Jasperware thimble of “The Spinner” in sage green and a salt and pepper and milk jug in may green from the “Wild Rose” cottage ware series produced by Carlton Ware in the 1930s.
The pieces in the second row from left to right are: a small bottle green Victorian transferware posy vase (one of a pair), an ornamental Victorian transferware spill vase in graded shades of green and two pieces of gilt jade green “Vert Royale” Carlton Ware vases from the 1930s.
At the back: a Carlton Ware 1920s gilt eau-de-nil bon-bon dish.
