Over the weekend I was lucky to be able to buy part of a lovely lady's lifetime collection of transfer printed Victorian rosey china...
...which is very much a passion of mine. I love the romantic images decorating each piece and the style of a by-gone era that they bring to a home.

There are several pretty little posy vases...

Isn't this a dainty set full of femininity and innocence?

Ditsy daisies and perfect pink roses.

A gorgeous chamber pot, perfect for storing soaps in a bathroom, or for a potted houseplant?
And this large wash bowl which has a chip to the rim, so I shall be keeping this myself to add to an old metal washstand that I have.
*
Most of the other items that I've shown will be coming with me to the V&H fair on Saturday.
*
I hope that they will be worth my investment, but then I won't be too disappointed if I have to keep them all! ;-))
*
I also have lots of other vintage items that I shall be taking along...There's a large selection of sparkling vintage glass bowls, cake stands and pedestal dishes, as well as a variety of unusual and quirky boudoir accessories.
And on Friday I hope to add LOTS of photographs to my blog, of the handmade goodies that will be coming with me too.

So please check back with me for that, if you can.
In the meantime, I have my Mum coming to stay for a few days, so I'd better get some housework done! ;-))

HOla, este espascio es muy bello, todo lo que se muestra en las fotos está precioso. Un saludo desde Santiago de Chile.
ReplyDeleteI had that very same pink dressing table set in my bedroom when I was younger, my mum collected rosy Victorian china and our home was full of it. I wonder what happened to it all ...
ReplyDeleteHave a good week

What a collection! And what a great time to acquire it! I think you're going to have a great fair - I look forward to seeing your Friday photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pieces.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get along to the V&H fair.
Didn't you find a load of treasure! Wonderful and lovely, all of it. My favorite was the teal-colored bowl toward the end of the post, just gorgeous and the fabric upon which it sat was so beautiful with the bowl! Good luck with your selling!

ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeletefrom germany. I spent hours to look and read your wonderful blog. Your pictures are fascinating to me and I love porcelaine with flowers so much. (I have some with forget-me-not) in my kitchen. In germany you can very rarely find such beautiful vintage China with roses and when - it is very expensive. You must be glad to find such a treasure and I wanted I could come to your stall. But I´m far away. I have added you to my favourite bloglist and hope this is okay for you.
my best greetings from germany,
rosenresli
What a lovely selection of 'rosy' things. I can't wait to see them 'in person'.
ReplyDeleteSue xx
I love it alllllllllllll........but the green dresser tray with the flowers on the handles is my FAV! What a wonderful assortment. I wish it was allllllllllll mine!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Spencer

ReplyDeleteI'm sure people will be buying those pieces up as soon as they see them!

They are certainly verty romantic in style Niki! I'm sure they'll fly off your stand (good thing you have two tables!) I keep looking at my growing pile of goodies & wondering if I'm going to have enough space.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your handmade goodies too. Friday will see me in a mad baking frenzy!
