I'll write in the morning - tired out now as up at 5 a.m. and on the road before 6. A long day, but so enjoyable. Caught up with friends, and someone else told me I looked so much better (must be the lippie) and I also got told I was beautiful by a friend! Blimey!! Happy to be told that :) but it was probably the cake I bribed him with . . .
All sorts of oddball things came home with me. I was on a colour match run again (not intentionally but stuff just turned up).
Right, time to sit down with a glass of wine. Should round the day off nicely.
Hmmm.…your pot has a look of Beswick about it…

Agreed, but not marked on base. I thought it had a Crown Devon look, but I guess they all went a similar way with designs in the period.
DeleteYou sound happy--well deserved day out!
ReplyDeleteVery happy. It was a really great day out. Very busy there, and some good house clearance stalls for once - not the absolutely desperate stands with nothing worth looking at which happened last time when it was raining.
DeleteI wouldn't have been able to resist that pot either. I love a bit of deco and the colours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt was certainly the right price and "had a look" . . .
DeleteI thought Crown Devon too, but as you say that was the look of the 1930s. Somehow I think a real Crown Devon piece would not be blurring the blue and green (which I too think is joyful) with the spilt porridge texture! So pleased to hear you had such a good day with compliments and wine to boot!

I've found several others in different glazes which are stamped Crown Devon, but one on Etsy says is is Flaxman ware . . . a 3-eared ball vase is what they call that style. Collectable!
DeleteIt sounds like a good day all round. It's nice to be tired after a good day rather than a bad one isn't it. 🙂
ReplyDeleteYes, right now I just want to crawl back into bed (having made it up with fresh bedding - the new navy waffle set, which is so soft). Need to plod on though.
DeletePeople will say anything for cake.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good day out, though.
Haha! Yes, it was a great day out and I really enjoyed it, and stopped to bother Ashperton church on the way home.
