Spring Hutch Version 2

Spring arrangement of vintage china

Spring is here so I changed the china in my hutch (welsh dresser), just before my daughter's birthday. 

(The previous display was Christmas-y - oops!  kind of behind...)  What's a Welsh Dresser?  See this post here.

Changing out the display is easier then dusting the old arrangement, and more fun as well. 

(Most things are more fun than dusting - and yet I collect...) 
 

[The teacup and saucer are Royal Albert's English Bone China "violets", the small red pitcher is "English Chippendale" by Johnson Brothers, the plates on the left are Haviland]

Changing my china display is always an scavenger hunt in my basement - I buy miscellaneous dishes at estate and rummage sales, and often don't really remember what I have and where it is.  I knew I had dishes with violets, and Haviland china, so I searched them out of all sorts of nooks and crannies.  It was an opportunity to re-find treasure I have forgotten about.

[The white rabbit sculpture is labeled "Isabelle de Borchgrave for Marshall Fields" on the bottom.  I really like how it is sculpted, and I use it often.]


I haven't shown a full length photo of the Welsh dresser recently, so here is one below.  I don't usually seasonally arrange the top and bottom, so ignore that in my photo.
