Another addition to my prop collection.

When I started this blog I confessed that I was rather obsessed with collecting  props for my food pictures and I have many a tale as to where and how I have come in possession of these cute beauties. Today I am going to share some of  my new additions in the collection.

The two little bowls with the intricate pattern on them were a gift from a friend who recently came over for lunch.She like others knows about my obsession  for props and gifted me these cute bowls as thank you gift for cooking lunch for her.She tells me she got these in a Indian utensils store whilst  shopping and immediately thought of me and promptly purchased them. I dearly love friends like this :).
The bowls are silver in colour, the smaller one has a copper band with an intricate pattern inlay and the slightly larger bowl has a silver band with a similar intricate pattern around it. Both the bowls have an inner decorative pattern too and are really eye catching. I have used the smaller pot with the copper band in my photo for the Date and Nut Barfi.


The pewter pot featured in the picture above was a random find in charity shop, when I saw it I immediately fell in love the formation of it dome shape and the beautifully etched pattern around it. It reminds me of Aladdin’s magic lamp or Eastern travels in exotic places. It was this visualisation of the East that inspired me to take this photo with the pot with the dates.

 The antique gold pot featured below is another find from another charity shop. Sadly it is rather tarnished and does have a couple of dents in it but I think that adds to the charm of it. I am looking forward to featuring it in one of my recipe posts soon.

The spoons, these were an impulse purchase from ebay, although when I purchased them the size looked a lot bigger in the picture but when I received them they were miniatures!!! Despite their mini size I love them and they will look great with pictures of condiments or miniature ethnic desserts. They go really well with the bowls featured above.

  6. hi nayna, i luv the photo of the Date and Nut Barfi. it's so good, the photo and the barfi, of course. u should add a recipe on how to bake it. what a great hobby, collecting those lovely pots. the pewter pot looks like an antique, great props. imagine what u can find in an antique market!

  8. I love the pots and your photos are lovely too. I rummage around in charity shops on a weekly basis – it is exciting to find something to use. Years ago I had a whole pewter tea set with tray. I could kick myself for having given it to a charity shop (where I originally found it) as I had no spce for it.

  9. Lovely haul there Nayna. I have to say I have not got a huge prop collection but really need some little spoons – maybe I need to use ebay

  10. I love hunting in charity shops and at car boot sales. Over the years I have picked up lots of nice plates and bowls, including a couple of large serving platters that turned out to be worth many time what I paid for them. I find it helps if you stick to a colour scheme or type of material so that you don't randomly buy things that don't go with other items you already have.

  11. Nayna, you do have a gr8 collection of props and napkins.. I have gone through a few posts where you have arranged them so neatly saving a lot of space.
