Patience & Perserverance

NYBG Garden Pagoda Cream & Sugar Set

 

Back in 2009, I started collecting pieces from the New York Botanical Garden - Lunt Silversmiths Collection filled with fabulous chinoiserie pieces. It was immediately retired and became very collectible. From my post back in 2009 -

"The New York Botanical Garden and Lunt Silversmiths have created a beautiful collection of tableware and decorative accessories inspired by some of the finest examples of botanical art in the Rare Book Collections of the Garden's LuEsther T. Mertz Library. The lovely pieces combine 18th century botanical imagery with a modern sensibility."

Blue & White Chinese Dragon Porcelain

Legend Accents Dragon Tall Jar with Lid

I do know my way around blue and white Chinese porcelain and have never seen anything like this. It looks like a ginger jar atop a stand or column to me. It features a dragon motif.

Blue and White Nutcrackers

Southern Living Meet Me Under the Mistletoe Nutcrackers

 

There is already serious buzz about these blue and white nutcrackers that look like Wedgwood Jasperware. They are selling out in person at Dillard's, but you can still get them online.

Mum is the Word

Mummy with Cream Horns

I saved this photo in my files and it is probably my favorite Halloween decoration ever. A bakery with a woman mummy serving an enormous tray of cream horns. Fabulous!

I tried to find a similar mummy and this one is great. It's from Grandin Road. This would be fantastic for a covered front entrance or the foyer.
