I just discovered that one of my favourite meme's is back this week,
Alphabe-Thursday @ Jenny Matlock's blog Off On My Tangent.

It seems that the last class of students may have worn down poor old Mrs Matlock because this term our teacher is Mrs M's much nicer, and better looking younger sister.

Today, I'm sharing with you picures of French faience asparagus and artichoke plates, which I used to collect before falling head over heels for Quimper pottery.

There's only so much faience a girl can have, something had to go!

| Limoges Asparagus plate |
All I have now is a set of 10 gold rimmed, 19th century Limoges plates, finely decorated with delicate flowers and leaves, which I just can't part with.
Guess the nephews (or their wives) will have to fight over these when I'm gone.

Beautiful, Maggie! I have a particular affection for the Sarreguimines pottery, and have one or two pieces from our years living across the Rhine from the Alsace.

Oh my, I wish I had more room in my pantry so i could collect more beautiful tableware.
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely lovely...
Very pretty plates! Visiting you from Alphabet Thursday.
ReplyDeleteLovely...I am always drawn to plates but I never know what to do with them. These are so nice. Hopped over from AlphabeThursday!
ReplyDeleteMaggie, I've got to get to Normandy and see what else you are hiding in your cupboards. LOL
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you had this collection. These are gorgeous. A freind here has a collection of Sarreguimines oyster plates, but I like the idea of asparagus and artichoke plates. Asparagus and artichokes are favorites, but I've not acquired a taste for the oysters. ;-)
So happy you shared these beauties! And glad to see you back in class. I'm taking the semester off. Even though I don't plan to write any papers this term, I'll be reading what the class does. As you know, this is one of my favorite memes.
Enjoy the day! ~ Sarah
This are so pretty. What a fun thing to pull and out use!

ReplyDeleteOh Maggie! So wonderful to see you here on Alphabe-Thursday's letter "A".
ReplyDeleteI am enamoured of the Sarreguemines plates. I've never seen this line before and I'm anxious to google it.
I have quite a few things with asparagus on them but it would be fun to find some artichoke pieces as well.
Thanks for the beautiful link this week.
