Antique Inspiration ~ The Bowls of Harvest

“On the motionless branches of some trees, autumn berries hung like clusters of coral beads, as in those fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels . . .”

– Charles Dickens

I love this time of the year, when the season’s bounty is bursting with autumn shades.  The farmer’s market is the place for a multitude of inspiration, bursting with a cornucopia of the harvest.  Now is the time I go through my collection of antiques for creativity for this special season.  The jewel-tone vibrant colors of autumn blend beautifully with the textures of antique accessories.   Invariably I look at antiques for groupings and as centerpieces in tabletop designs.  The culinary antique collections of faience, china, pottery, pewter, copper and wood bowls are an ideal way to showcase this abundance of nature.

Antique bowls lend themselves as perfect vessels for pumpkins, gourds and fruit.

Piled high with a profusion of earth offerings and displayed on coffee tables, buffets or commodes, even perhaps on the dining table ~ without fail these antique containers command a decorative focus.
