This small and hard-used teapot was found in a central Massachusetts antique centre, marked "Old teapot" and very cheap.
It is white salt-glazed Staffordshire stoneware from around 1760. After its high, stoneware firing, the teapot was decorated in coloured enamels, and re-fired at a low heat.
Two details of Templeton's Carpet Factory, Glasgow Green. One where it looks Venetian, one where it looks for all the world like the Kremlin.
Hardly surprising, given it is modelled on the Doge's Palace and the Kremlin walls are an Italian design...

This bear was feasting on soap berries on the cliffs of Polychrome Pass. The high vantage point helped me get his face, this time of year they are in hyperfascia where they eat constantly and rarely look up. My wife calls it the berry bob.

Taken in the 'China: Through the Looking Glass' exhibition (May-September 2015).
This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.
From the earliest period of European contact with China in the sixteenth century, the West has been enchanted with enigmatic objects and imagery from the East, providing inspiration for fashion designers from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent, whose fashions are infused at every turn with romance, nostalgia, and make-believe. Through the looking glass of fashion, designers conjoin disparate stylistic references into a pastiche of Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions.
The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. Filmic representations of China are incorporated throughout to reveal how our visions of China are framed by narratives that draw upon popular culture, and also to recognize the importance of cinema as a medium through which to understand the richness of Chinese history.

No is a traditional Japanese dance drama with a poetic text that is sung to the accompaniment of three drums and a flute. All the actors are male. The costumes are heavy and stiff with emphatic designs that suit the slow, deliberate movements of a No performance. This type of robe is known as atsuita and would probably have been worn by an actor playing a male role.

The Hospices de Beaune or Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune is a former charitable almshouse in Beaune, France.
It was founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Burgundy, as a hospital for the poor.
The original hospital building, the Hôtel-Dieu, one of the finest examples of fifteenth-century Burgundian architecture, is now a museum.
The polychrome roofs are inextricably linked to Burgundy.
Multicoloured roofs are an integral part of Burgundy.
In Pays Beaunois, those of the Hôtel Dieu in Beaune, Château de Santenay or Château de Corton André, for example, are particularly noteworthy.
A symbol of prestige.
Roofs made of glazed flat tiles draw colourful patterns characteristic of the traditional architecture of Burgundy.
Polychrome roofs are status symbols, whose opulence reflects that of the owner of the building.
With their luminous beauty, they initially covered the great cathedrals of the 13th century, then the princely residences of the 14th century, before becoming available to the rich urban bourgeoisie of the 15th century.

Polychrome mountain pass in Denali is aptly named so for it's vivacious range of colors, from the lush green Tundra to the stark granite mountain walls to the alpine paints of snow
Polychrome Pass is a popular destination on the Park Road. Tundra stretches into the colorful foothills of the Alaska Range, highlighting the yellows, oranges, and reds of the volcanic rocks. It’s easy to see why this area is called Polychrome, which means “many colors.” This is one of the most popular scenic overlooks in the park, so get out and enjoy the view, take a hike, or have a picnic while you gaze at the vast landscapes of protected park lands all around you.
Polychrome Pass on a three-minute bus stop - hardly enough time to push ahead of the line and take a panorama. This one really requires better composition, a tripod, HDR, perhaps a better camera, and a few hours to soak in. Oh, well. It looks a lot better than this in real life.
Abstract colour landscape symbolism. A revision of maxima with an Axial symmetry and to reference the Eureka Flag cross (with Commonwealth Stars rather than 8 pointers) to be a vertical and horizontal focus. The golden horizon fimbriation in stylised spots gives a centre reference to Golden Wattle (the National Colours, and floral emblem) and in clear proximity to the Green field.
