I just love antique transferware. It’s a style of ceramics that comes in a variety of styles and colors. To make these beautiful pieces, a copper plate is created with a pattern that is then printed onto tissue paper. The print is then transferred onto the ceramic piece, hence the name. Do you have a particular favorite color or do you like to mix and match?
I hope you enjoy the selection of antique transferware above. Please stop by www.inessa.com to view even more!
Antique French architecture is inspiring both in the country and with city townhouses. This antique building with its timeless beauty and century old architectural antiques embodies the best of old world elegance. The soft pastels of the landscaping mix beautifully with the neoclassical cool colors of this building.
During my travels I enjoy taking photos of inspirational architecture and decorative elements that so often surround me on my journeys. There is an unmistakable appeal about antique buildings, an authentic ambiance created by history.
Since quite some time has passed since the last time I submitted prose for these pages, I am dusting off our blog (kind of a late spring cleaning…). Sometimes my plate gets a bit too full. We have been traveling on antique buying trips, unloading containers of antiques furniture and accessories, and there never seems enough time to finish writing about all the exciting things that I love doing.
“Writing is a lonely business” ~ said Sherman Alexie ~ and I have to agree with him! I typically make plans to write on the plane, or in the car, or in the airport ~ but the best writing comes usually at 2 in the morning. I love sharing on our blog about our adventures, great stories, and all about antique history. Facebook just isn’t enough, don’t you think?
Below are some photos from my recent European adventures …
I promise to come back soon with more new posts!
