Flow Blue. When I started collecting in my early twenties flow blue was a really big deal. Expensive in the antique shops and fairly expensive in the 2nd hand stores. Now, for some reason, it is seen as 'blue'. I still see it as wonderful flow blue. I love the way the blue glaze migrates through the pattern, spreading into the white surround. It is found on all sorts of bodies, clay, china, porcelain.Can you see how the blue glaze is migrating into the white in these pictures?
I am totally in love with the darkness of the shadowed roses against the worn and chipped frame of the Reds in the baptism certificate.
This very old table shows up in many of my photos and one day soon I am going to showcase it to show the age and beauty of this piece. I love the contrast of the table against the richness off the bowl with the natural light blurring the edges.
Here is a close up grouping of the Baptism Certificate and its authentic chippy frame.You likely have guessed that the collection is thrifted. I am linking up with several lovely bloggers who also love thrifted and who have linky parties that I join in on each week.

ReplyDeleteSwoon! The vignette is fabulous -- the migration of the blue glaze, the blue of the hydrangeas, the charming certificate, the graceful lamp.
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely!!! Wishing you well! Cathy
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection. I heard one of the reasons why the real flow blue pieces are expensive is because it has actual gold particles in them. - Hazel
