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.

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.
