Spring Hutch Version 2

Spring vintage china porcelain plates
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.

I like your approach ~ rearranging is more fun than dusting. '-)
Your Welsh dresser is lovely and so are all your pretties. I'm off to visit the links to other arrangements. Looks like fun!

Coloradolady said...

What an amazing display of beauty!! I love it!! Great take on the dusting...makes it a little better in my opinion! Happy VTT

LV said...

That is all dust catches are good for is to catch dust. I have more than I need but they do not get dusted like they should either.You have a nice assortment of treasure.

Unknown said...

Your china is just stunning! I love purchasing old and new china! Well, I pretty much like purchasing anything that has to do with eating and drinking!

I am so glad you linked this post up to the In and Out of the Kitchen party. I love seeing what others collect and display. See you next week!

Absolutely beautiful and I so envy that you have a place to openly display your china.

What a lovely collection! I love how you search through your basement for your treasures - as if you didn't have to search enough to purchase them in the first place.

Everything was arranged so beautifully. Great to have you be a part of SEASONAL SUNDAYS.

So glad I found your blog and the wonderful china display. Your Welsh dresser is so lovely even without the china but with your amazing arrangements it is gorgeous. I also collect china and love the hunt snd then the display and use. Your display of the Schmann china caught my attention for this is one of my sets. I recently acquired more pieces on a trip at a great price. One of my favorite places is a consignment/thrift store. I hope you will continue to post these lovely displays and maybe join Cuisine Kathleen on WEDS. at 7 pm. and Between Naps on the Porch on Thursday at 9 am. These are two I love to link with plus The Tablescaper on Seasonal Sundays! Your collections are wonderful and I really enjoyed viewing different ones and this Spring post!
