Today I am inspired by old tableware. When I first saw
blue porcellain on the
House of Philia blog in January I put my head on the side and thought... No, I do not like this. But how come? You see it for a while in the blogosphere and suddenly you find yourself looking for blue porcellain on the flea market. I would not buy any new pieces as I think this is at least for me a temporary fad, but a cake plate or something from the flea market would surely follow me home. This time I did not find the correct pattern, though, only other things in blue porcelain, that is, a plate from the Norwegian ceramist
Kari Nyquist (
see below) and... note to myself. Do not think too long. Of course someone else found the hiding-place under the other ugly plates and it was gone. Only afterwards I realized that this plate was made by a real known Norwegian ceramist.
If you like newer patterns, the plates for Arabia's
140th anniversary are a good choice, too. I only now realized that the "sun plate" that I also admired
here, is now sold out. What a shame...
What are your opinions of old tableware? Do you also come to think of old memories, like grandma's plates with pattern? Blue, green and brown plates? I just picture them in a lilac arbour on a sunny summer day. I have to find a cake plate!
Now it is Sunday and I will be
busy doing nothing. (
Listen here. And...I thought that this song was much more modern than the other one that
won).
Which one do you like?
Have a nice Sunday!
What are your plans for the day?
