More Coastal Chinoiserie

Unknown


I posted this years ago and it is still one of my favorites - a stunning black and gold Chinese cabinet filled with seashells, blue coral, and blue and white Chinese porcelain.

My own version at CCC features antique framed botanicals, a pair of vintage calligraphy ginger jars, a vintage Kate Spade wicker handbag filled with sea fans, Eric Cortina ornaments, and a collection of conch shells atop an antique black and gold chinoiserie chest.

This ginger jar I posted on yesterday is so fabulous with fish, crabs, and shrimp. I have never seen one like this before. I miss Maryland blue crabs so much - no such thing as a decent crab cake here unfortunately!


Fish, Shrimp, and Crab Ginger Jar


This would be darling displayed with blue and white Chinese porcelain and seashells and it's $16 -

  1. If you are ever up north of you in the Tampa area, pop into the Tides Market in Safety Harbor and give their crab cakes a try. Safety Harbor is a beautiful little town on Tampa Bay.

  2. There are no crabcakes like those made from Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. IMO.
