{Delft White Picture Frame Vase}

• As promised yesterday, here is the Delft White Picture Frame Vase for you to see in a better view. 
• In the mid 80s when I did import these cute Keraflor vases from Steenbok, in Reuver, The Netherlands, they were probably the hottest item I ever sold! 
• It took some fast action for securing 6 for myself as I planned on using them for personal place settings at table. That too has always been a success.

• This is he small individual picture frame vase with Ranunculus - Persian buttercups.
• Placemats are Le Jacquard Français

• Now you can see the actual opening of the 'vase'...

• Here you view it from the back side with the Keraflor mark.
• It is a very clever vase!

• You can fill the vase with water or with florist foam.

• So that's how a picture frame vase looks like!

{Antique Christofle Napkin Ring and Timbale, Goblet in Box}

Offering this antique French Christofle Gallia napkin ring and timbale, goblet (beaker or cup) in its own original box. Mint Julep anyone? Or for displaying a lovely nosegay of fresh roses... There are endless uses for this elegant set! I leave that to the lucky person who will purchase it at my Zen Cart powered Boutique on line →Mariette's Back to Basics. Let me show you the photos as they speak for themselves...

Shown here with my French Le Jacquard Français napkins and placemats in rose motif.

Also shown is a Delft white picture frame vase with Ranunculus - Persian buttercups.

Will show more about that special picture frame tomorrow!

This is a beautiful set and I doubt if it was ever used!

On page 74 in the Chonology of my book Christofle you can read:

1898 To create objects for their art nouveau line, Christofle develops a new alloy, gallia. 

Christofle outfits the Ritz in 1898

Still in its original box with Production Christofle on the edge. 

A satin lining with corded edging.

It makes one long for the old days again...

Orfeverie Gallia is gold embossed on the inside of the lid.

Christofle emblem on the top in gold embossed.

Christofle Gallia marks under the timbale, goblet.

Sorry Sold out...

{Word Verification is Time WASTE!}

Blogger has changed for the worse its Comments Word Verification with now a two word/symbol check. It is illegible and you are forced to try it twice or trice before you FINALLY can place your comment. As Theresa from The Run *A* Round Ranch Report put it: "My eyes don't decode spy messages!"  SORRY but none of us has that luxury of time. So once more I want to ask you to follow my earlier TIP on how to handle your Comments Setting. Will show you below. 

Yeah, try again. What an Invasion into my precious time...
Can you make out the other word's beginning?

How can I possibly make THOSE characters?
I'm not a robot and neither an idiot for doing this kind of games!
