I attend local auctions throughout the year
to find treasures for myself, for others, and to sell.
The auctions I always enjoy the most are held at elderly folks' estates.
This one is
Royal Adderley
So many of their treasures are so unique and precious.....
(Such as these beautiful English china floral arrangements.)
This one is Aynsley
Flowers so realistic one can practically SMELL their fragrance!
The next two are Radnor of England
(This one is really quite large.)
One can practically FEEL just how much they were loved.
If it is simply too hot for most of our flowers to prosper outdoors here.
At least we have these pretty florals to bring us beauty!
Have a beautiful week, my friends!

They are gorgeous! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Somewhere in this house, I have some, too. Wonder where they've run off to. I had no idea that they are collectible now.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved those sweet bone china floral bouquets! Hope you are getting along and recovering quickly! Have a super great week.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I have a small bouquet by Royal Doulton in our main bathroom and always appreciate the details of the flowers.

These are gorgeous Michele. They remind me so much of my MIL. She loved roses and the color peach. She had a couple similar to these with peach roses.

Happy Blue Monday, Michele!
You've found some lovely bone china flowers. My mother has a couple of Aynsley bouquets that belonged to my grandmother.

ReplyDeleteVisiting from Blue Monday
My BLUE, have a great week ahead.
Beautiful! Hopping by from Blue Monday!
ReplyDeletePlease come and see my BLUE, thank you.
Yes those are definitely gorgeous. I love estate sales and auctions. :)
ReplyDeletethese pieces always catch my eye in the antique store...lovely.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these. In the antiques trade they are generically but descriptively called Staffordshire Posies, as most were made in the county of England. It is a lost art, most of the potteries are closed, and they were all hand made. We often watched them made on our visits to the potteries. I so regret their passing. They are truly little hand made works of art. Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection.

Once again Ruth educates us. Thanks so much, Ruth!
DeleteI love these pretty blooms and hey...you can enjoy them all year round and for ever! Gorgeous porcelain beauties, I love this kind of vintage things, they also remind me of Italian Capodimonte. Ant.& Teacups says they look English, I'm sure she knows. Beautiful collection! Thank you for dropping by sweet lady.

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful Michelle. I recently purchased my first little china basket filled with china flowers. I just think they remind us of Grandma's day. Enjoy. :)
