It's been ages since I showcased my new additions to my prop collection. I have had some lovely variety of props that I have found from charity shops, ebay and also friends.
In my stash, I do not have floral crockery and I really wanted to add to my collection especially as recently I have been to a few afternoon teas and the beautiful crockery used to serve the food in was so gorgeous that it made the food and the tea that much more special and enticing.
This beautiful pottery collection of bowl, plate, jug, teacup, saucer and side plate were what I found on my two recent visits to a charity shop whilst dropping off some clothes I had. I always seem to de clutter but at the same time come back with more things, I cannot resist sourcing food props.
I love the fluted shape of the bowl and the floral design.Although the plate is completely plain the lovely green edging, its perfect for layering plates.
My favorite piece from the whole set is the jug, it too has the matching fluting on the rim and I can just visualise it on a tea tray lined with crisp white linen napkin or just used as a decoration on a window ledge with few wild flowers to brighten up any dull morning.
Unfortunately the set did not have a teapot or matching cup and saucer, but I must say I am really pleased with what I did buy as the whole set is in immaculate condition with no chips or cracks. I am really excited to feature these props in my post soon but for this I shall have to bake a cake!!!
A few days later I also found in the same shop this really pretty teacup and saucer and matching plate. I love the gold gilt trim around the top edge of the cup and on the handle and on the saucer. The matching plate also has a lovely gold gilt rim. Looking at these makes me wonder how many afternoon tea settings they may have graced.
Your pieces are stunning! I would love some China plates, cups and saucers but have nowhere to store them!!

ReplyDeleteI like your china teacup - I'm always on the hunt for new blog photography props too!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely. I have quite a soft spot for them to, but no space to store them and they would get broke so I don't bother buying at the moment.
ReplyDeleteYour props look truly amazing. I often visit a tea room with vintage china that's all mismatched and that looks fabulous too x
ReplyDeleteI love pottery like this and the jug is beautiful x
ReplyDeleteI am making plans to go to an auction to pick up some vintage pieces like these, they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAww aren't they beautiful? They reminds me of my childhood. My grandmother always had such beautiful china and thinking back I wish I had some of it. But moving a lot over the years I've got nothing unfortunately. Well done on finding these.
