Hello there! I am joining Teacup Thursday, Vintage Thingie Thursday and Share Your Cup Thursday!
If you have followed Antiques And Teacups for long, you know how I love the hand painted cups and saucers from the art deco era, 1910-1930s. And this recent estate find is a great example. The art deco design stylized floral is hand painted on black transfer that has been further decorated with raised enamel paint. I just love it!
The teacup is part of the Dutchess line by E&B.L., or Edwards & Brown in Longton, Staffordshire England. The mark dates the cup and saucer from 1910-1933. It is so fun to have a teacup with a raised design, although they need to be treated a bit more carefully, as the raised enamel can be damaged. But what a great art deco way to sip your tea!
I was thinking this morning about public sculpture. We have a lot in our area and wanted to share a few examples. This concrete and pebble octopus is on the beach in Port Angeles.
This is the beautiful bronze cormorant sculpture just down the beach. Their fishing antics and sleek silhouettes are ubiquitous in our area.
And these huge tulips are public sculpture in Bastion Square just off the Inner Harbour wall in Victoria, BC taken at 2 different times of day. Amazing!
I hope you have a great day...and weekend, although maybe I'll see you for Pink Saturday! I have a great pink teacup....
