Just a simple autumn still life featuring two of my favorite things, an ironstone pitcher and a transferware bowl.

Every autumn I think about how I'd love to have have some brown transferware dishes, but I already own more sets of dishes than I need. This bowl and the brown transferware cup and saucer I used in last week's still life are all of the brown transferware that I own.

My favorite things to collect are antique objects that were used in homemaking in bygone days. Ironstone bowls and pitchers, transferware dishes, breadboards, interesting old bottles and demijohns. I am drawn to the beauty in these common items.

DeleteA great beauty in these things! It is important to use them as well.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have a little collection of pitchers (and a lot of other things, like old table coths).
I'd love to see some of your lovely old pitchers and tablecloths!
DeleteI love your beautiful fall still life, the brown and beige tones. Yes, I am a collector too of old things, especially of items which have been used in my family and which "tell stories".
ReplyDeleteMerlanne, I hope to see some of your collections in future photos!
DeleteSuch a lovely series, Elizabeth!

DeleteI have lots of small collections: jadeite, transfer-ware, baskets, old children's books, hand-painted pansies and demi-johns, some vintage suitcases. Most of my furniture is vintage or antique--and I do have lots of old books in general. I just love things with history!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Do you have some brown transferware?
DeleteSuch lovely texture in these photos.. not just the overlay, but also the objects in them.
