Thrifting Spode's Christmas Tree plates and a beautiful art glass plate

-


 

I found three Spode "Christmas Tree" range dinner plates.

As I come from Estonia, I had no idea about this popular Spode Christmas range. When I saw these plates at the charity shop, I instantly loved the illustration. Turned plate around and it said Spode. I did know about the Spode...so I grabbed these. Coming home I Google and learned that this range has 85 years of history. Since it instantly spoke to me without knowing about it...there is a proof that it is a timeless range. Happy with my find.

I loved this thick glass candle holder. Looking around in internet, other people say it to be for Kavanagh Giftware  Kilkenny Living range.

This is yet another tablecloth I found that was brand new and is cotton or linen...does not have any tags on it but feels good. I cover my tables with tablecloths and in use they get stains etc that does not come off sometimes so having a pile of them ready is handy. This one has lovely muted greyish blue color that I liked and goes well in my living room.



                                                                                




Six embroidered napkins with cute crochet rim. I dont know their origin but anything embroidered, I love and how lovely touch they will make on table.


Maybe I fold them as in that YouTube video but I think I would prefer to leave them on the side of the plate and put cutlery on the top.






I think this is my favorite find followed closely by Spode plates.
This glass plate it special because it is by artist Eva Kelly. It is signed and dated 2001.

I love the matted glass that has other pieces of glass infused in it and the blue rim is a cherry on the icing.


It was well hidden in between of usual kitchen plates, just spotted the rim in between them and what a rush I felt when I took it out and saw signature. 😍






I picked this necklace because it felt quality and those oblong beads are glass and have a moonglow on them. In addition it is name tagged Jasper Conran.
I havent heard about him before and here is what I found out:


What a talented designer!  Cool side of thrifting is that I can learn so much from the items I find and like.



And then I found this wonderful wool woven pillow case. These are popular berber Kilim carpet patterns and specially loved in boho eclectic interiors.

I love it!

Look at this video. Its fabulous!

Epic charity shop pottery haul

 I have a "honeyhole" charity shop. All these ceramics is from one go. Why I titled this post "epic"? Majorly because of the lamp but all items are fab! The lamp I was drawn to it as if it was a big magnet there on the table. It's abstract artsy look is amazing, it's colors and it is tall and big and a statement peace and with very good price. Yes please, thank you! I had a quick look in the shop, it is inscribed and additional sticker remain.  McCluskey Pottery. Artist Sean McCluskey, Limavady in Northern Ireland. Have to tell you I had not heard about him before. Sadly when looking him up, he seem to have passed 13.02.2011. But his works live on their lives. Can use your imagination what travels this lamp has seen since its birth. Looking around internet there is not a lot of his work around and I would say from the things I've seen so far...this is the Crown Jewel of his work. I am so pleased of this find and I plan to enjoy it myself for a while unti...

Thrifting highlight: Judy Greene's pottery

  So, I have been thrifting this weekend and here is the haul. Judy Greene pottery. Its from her Connemara range. Here is her website: https://judygreene.wixsite.com/galway Now, on closer inspection I am not actually sure that the plate is Judy's although the glazes and colors are so similar. The incised mark on the plate is different than on the mug. But they go well together and I like their rustic look a lot. So, plate still remains a bit of the mystery. Bracelet and necklace Lady in the charity shop said it is graphite bead set. I never heard of graphite before...but it has dark grey and metallic look to it.  Wikipedia says:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite Sure looks like it. Also...what I know about natural stone jewelry is that natural stone feels cold to touch and this one surely feels cold. This jewelry set gives me modernist, futurist vibes. This metal candleholder brought smile to my face instantly. It is produced in Sweden by "Bengt and Lotta". I was so...
