Are you a fan of the 'blue and white'? I often think it is a signature of classical English style decoration yet these days blue and white is likely to pop up in many different interiors. The 'blue and white' seems to suit both formal and informal decors, whether it be urns, vases or bowls. I prefer this porcelain massed in groups or displayed in an armoire...like so many things, I think the 'blue and white' works on that principal of more is better....
The beauty of collecting something you love is that the intrigue starts with the search, the joy continues with the find and the fun never stops.

I don't think I have ever met a piece of blue and white I didnt' love. Its so classic and beautiful, looks great truly in almost any setting of any color. Its amazing really how versatile it is. I have seen it transform a space, also love a grouping of jars or bowls or mixed pieces in blue and white. It really is a stunning accent, and I love the pictures you have shown....thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day....
ReplyDeleteBlue-and-white is my all-time favorite color combination. I think it works with almost any style of decor.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I love blue and white. Something so fresh about it.

What a treat to see this. I did a post on my blog concerning blue & white also...amazing! xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
ReplyDeleteI adore blue and white and typically attribute it to Dutch who got it from the Chinese of course. I always think pink when I think British : ) xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove blue & white. Have been collecting for years. Lovely. xx's Vicki
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! My blog is pretty much dedicated to blue and white! It will always make me happy.
ReplyDeleteI do love blue and white!
ReplyDeleteI do not know why I don't have more of it...
It is such a classic combination...and what a lovely image of these Chinese pieces.
Oh my, this is pushing me over the edge! I have been wanting to start a collection and yet can NOT find any here--that I can afford that is! But it is just what I want to soothe my eyes these days...
ReplyDeletewhat you say about the search and the find is totally true.. I also like the blue and white... also fashion colors here this season ;-)
ReplyDeleteSeems as if blue and white is showing up in so many different designs these days. It looks great in almost any setting. The key is grouping. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSo true Vicki and blue and white is so easy....
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your comment... best wishes for a wonderful week.

Dear Vicki,
ReplyDeleteYet another thing we share in common....
Timeless and versatile ~ I have a couple of blue and white ginger jars and I love them no matter where I put them. As it's not yet a collection, simply a mismatched pair, I usually add a 3rd element or a grouping between them and pretty much anything goes!
ReplyDeleteI have only recently gone back to blue and white after growing up with Mum's obsession for the colour combination! I think I always loved it - just needed a break. I totally agree with the 'more is better' principle. I currently have one forlorn vase and one gorgeous biscuit tin, but they are desperate for company.

Love blue and white ... I am very mad for Staffordshire transferware, charmed by the patterns ... but also love Isis as well, and visited Deborah Sears at her base in Oxford .. she makes such beautiful pieces ... just bought some wonderful Caspari blue & white toile paper napkins for a friend who also shares the thrill. Your picture is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love blue and white china, too. I love roses, too. Beautiful blog.
ReplyDeleteWith a mum who has a huge collection of vintage blue and white pieces, and quite a few myself, and paired with the fact that many of my paintings feature blue and white china, I guess it's fair to say that I'm a fan! Love your photo, just gorgeous. And coincidentally, today I blogged about b&w too - my recent thrift store find, and latest artwork. Must be on the same wavelength :) K x
ReplyDeleteI am in love with blue and white too, as my collection on a dresser in my kitchen expands on a weekly basis. I can't resist it when I scour the op shops and markets. Your collection is lovely Vicki, I love how you have displayed it. xx jeanette
ReplyDeleteBlue and white is classic and timeless
