Pink Saturday - Pink Lustre

Having an adoration for all things pink can be fun. Fun is good right? Yes...and well, no.

Good because the color pink lifts my spirits! Bad because I tend to want anything pink! Scary.

So it won't be hard to believe when I tell you about another collection I have. It is not a large one. But it has started.

After working in an antique mall to help myself become better acquainted with the business, I fell in love with pink lustreware.



The pieces are very old and can be expensive. Sometimes I'll even buy chipped and broken items just to HAVE ONE.

Oh okay.

TWO.

Like these teapots below:

This one I purchased from a little shop, sadly, no longer in business. It was missing it's lid but since it was in my price range of ten dollars, it came home with me! I placed a lid on top that goes with my Grandmother's (now mine) vintage china.

Then I found this little beauty in the antique mall where I have a booth. The spout is chipped a few times and there is a chip on the lid but since it was also in a good price range, it is now living in my china cabinet.

I've put my collection on hold right now mostly because I've run out of storage room already. If I didn't have my vintage book collection I could fit more on my living room shelves!

Sigh. I love too many things.
