The Vintage Force Was Strong With Me Today

Hi all!

Oh my, oh my, did I ever discover some treasures today! So excited to share them with you.

This 'Colclough Bone China - Made in England' teacup is just divine. When I look at it, I see a fine lady in a summer dress, sitting on the porch of a country house somewhere in a southern state, sipping Earl Grey Tea from this little gem. The bloomed yellow roses are almost bursting from this cup and saucer and the handle is slightly pointed which gives this cup a really dainty look. I love the classy and refined look of this set.

This 'Foley Bone China - Delphinium - Made in England' teacup really makes me feel like it came right out of an Alphonse Mucha poster. The hand painted scenery of a meadow of flowers also makes me feel like if the hippies that attended Woodstock drank tea there, they were probably drinking it from this cup. I just want to put on some Mamas and Papas and watch something psychedelic while drinking from this cup. The hand painted mint green handle really pulls the whole look of this set together. I've included an Aphonse Mucha poster below that I think closely resembles the vibe that this set gives off. Totally obsessed with this find.

This 'Gladstone - Bone China - Made in England' teacup is just so pleasant! It makes me feel like a favourite aunt has just surprised me with a knock on the door and picnic basket in hand. The flowers, were real, look as if they are begging you to pick them and place in your favourite vase. The stigma in these painted flowers is dolloped on with a magnificently bright orange paint and when you run your finger over the surface of the flowers, the stigma is textured which is such a unique touch. The cone shape of the cup is also almost flower like as if you could add a stem to it an plant it in your garden. I love the curved handle as it gives the blunt shape of the cup a bit of softness.

This 'Paragon' set is so delightfully spring it's unreal and the full pastel yellow in the cup and saucer is so vintage looking. This shape of this cup and the pattern on it reminds me of a vintage umbrella. Although the cup and saucer match and are both Paragon, this is not a true set but, work nicely displayed together. The detail in the painted lily pads on the saucer are just gorgeous and the contrast colours of the water lilies to the yellow saucer really make the water lilies pop and come to life. The floral pattern on the inside of the cup is actually tied with a ribbon which I thought was such a beautiful detail. Notice the painted gold leaf on the handle that just adds an extra delicate touch to pull this whole set together.

This 'Queen Anne - Made in England' revolving butter dish was such an amazing find today! The engraved detail on the dome lid is so intricate and I love that it's footed. I'm on the hunt for a matching butter knife!

This 'Leviton Milk Glass Hurricane Lamp' is so spectacular when you flick the switch to turn it on. I was so excited when I got home and put a light bulb in to see it transform into a glowing vintage treasure. The raised and dotted milk glass shade on this lamp is so pretty and the hurricane shape reminds me of an almost fully bloomed tulip. I love that the base of this lamp is slightly dipped and can be used to hold jewelry.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed today's finds!
