There are many versions of Famille Rose, Canton Ro

There are many versions of Famille Rose, Canton Rose, Rose Medallion and otherwise. It helps to lean on experienced sellers to identify Chinese Export porcelain. I have bought and sold hundreds of versions and actually holding them in your hands brings so much more value and knowledge. They are worth the investment because it is simply nothing you can buy new. Even large retailers have been putting out their versions of these lovely iconic patterns, but it only takes a second to know the difference!

Available Cased Glass Vases 💚🩵
What is Cased Glass? A type of glass made up of two or more layers of different colored glass that are fused together. It is a stunning display of Italian workmanship. One piece pops on an end table, coffee table or many grouped together make a gorgeous centerpiece.

Love this image from the book “In Bloom” Creat

Love this image from the book “In Bloom” Creating and Living with Flowers by Ngoc Minh Ngo. Amazing images of interiors inspired by flowers and beautiful floral arrangements. This particular photograph caught my eye because of the Opaline Vase. For a modern approach, many of my buyers request the clean line opaline, plain with no applied painting technique. But oh how I love the romantic ones with the hand painted flowers or victorian scenes. Swipe ➡️ to see available styles and message me for availability 🩵

Move over Majolica! It’s time to get familiar w

Move over Majolica! It’s time to get familiar with another type of vibrant ceramics… the very rare Elfinware (aka: Mossware). Imported from Germany in the 1920s-40s so rest assured they are entering the 100 year old mark. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the colors are so vibrant. Here we updated these lamps with beautiful @ballarddesigns block printed shades. The ivory alabaster base gives it a modern touch. Available now via direct message.

Excellent Antique Condition! 12.5”h x 5” diameter

I’d love share this story about my living room b

I’d love share this story about my living room because it hopefully may inspire you to start decorating your home on any budget. This room cost less to decorate from top to bottom than most people spend on a new sofa. It takes patience and an eye for nice things but when you live in or near a community of old homes it does make it easy to find second hand. The new items in this room are the rug (rifle paper from home goods), a Horchow painting, a fireplace screen and bamboo shades from JC Penny. Otherwise, Opaline lamps from thrift stores, my grandmothers beautiful Asian lamp was a family heirloom, furniture from resale and marketplace and drapes from a neighboring estate sale. Even the Elkins loop chair was from Craigslist. Both sofas were not recovered, just cleaned. I recovered the loop chair myself.
High quality paint and a unique color are such an easy way to add an expensive feel!
Things are imperfect in this room, lived in, gouged and knicked. Our self paint job is not perfect. But the room has a point of view and I believe that is more important than feeling like you either have to have perfection or nothing at all!
Please know good design does not have to come from a catalog or put you in debt! Buy the best of what you can afford and be patient the rest will follow 💚

Some lovely bold purple Lenox dishes are coming soon. Super rare from the 1920s. Purple is a color that is so hard to find and I’m always so excited when I find it in tabletop items.
