Collage Christmas Hutch

My "Collage Christmas Hutch" features an eclectic arrangement of some of my favorite Christmas china. Collecting china at estate sales and resale venues, and displaying the collected pieces makes me smile remembering the thrill of the find and hopes for finding future treasures.

There is no overall china pattern featured in this hutch. Together the china forms a collage of different styles themed "Christmas". So perhaps the first set I show you should be a design that is actually a collage.

And what a collage on the face of these plates! The Eiffel tower catches your eye, with botanical pine cones and mistletoe in gold; snowflakes and calligraphic swirls, and golden Joyeux Noel script and a Paris circle stamp.

Love at first sight...

[ 222 Fifth, PTS International, made these plates, pattern name Joyeux Noel, around 2012 to 2018. I have two red desert plates (8.5 inch diameter) and two white dinner plates (11 inch diameter). ]

The Danish artist Tord Boonjte designed the whimsical plate above. I admired Tord's art long before I found these four plates at resale prices. This design is a collage of a different sort.
Tord said this about design:

_____________________________________

"Modernism does not mean minimalism,
contemporary does not forsake tradition,
and technology does not mean abandon people and senses."

- Tord Boontje

_____________________________________

The traditional silhouettes of snowflakes and flowers, animals and stars delights the eyes. A very different collage than the Joyeus Noel plates, this contemporary style with traditional elements is not minimalistic, makes you smile, and yet is calming to the senses.

I think of my hutch arrangements as a collage created using porcelain!

Lenox's "Wintersong" Pattern, below, is possibly my favorite Holiday place setting that I own. I was lucky to find two place settings at an estate sale.

The plates feature a contemporary botanical and bird painting style. The red rimmed plate is large, though, 11.5 inches across and can only fits on the top shelf of my Welsh Dresser.

Another Lenox plate from 1995 is "Winter greeting", above. I have just one dinner plate of this pattern.

Setting up the Hutch can go fairly quickly. I can only hope that setting up and decorating the Christmas tree will go as fast.

Enjoy the Christmas Holiday Season!

Autumn Hutch

Image 1: Autumn hutch arrangement

When autumn arrives each year at my house, a new autumn hutch display follows. Autumn's palette of colors are more subdued than my normal arrangements, and often consist of mostly brown transfer ware and some Bavarian plates. Over time I have been picking china and glass items to expand my options, and now my autumn hutch is more colorful.

Image 2: Autumn Hutch Detail

The hutch (a Welch dresser) allows me to showcase cherished finds like these above. The mugs above, for example, are antique Villeroy and Boch.

Image 3: Vintage Pear Plate, 10 inches

I love this vintage pear plate. I believe it's a turn of the century or early 1900's art design. I like the artist's decision to include subtle shadows of the branches and leaves on the white section. I consider it innovative design from around 100 years ago.

Image 4: Rim of Vintage platter

Behind the pear plate in the hutch is an extravagant platter that has an incredible border with thick raised gold edging, an inner border of poppies, and elaborate thin gold filigree line work over the poppies. Is this border a little over the top or a lot? I love it's exuberant detail.

Image 5: Williams Sonoma Apple plates

I often mix contemporary, vintage, and antiques pieces in my hutch arrangements, and I was happy to find ten contemporary Williams Sonoma apple plates (in 4 different designs) at a resale shop. I love the "botanical drawing" style on the apple plates.

Image 6 : Williams Sonoma Apple plates

Someone's collection of nine different amber stemmed and footed goblets became mine when I bought them at an estate sale. A lucky find to brighten up the color in the hutch!

Image 7: Amber Glass Water goblets

[I had fun trying to identify the patterns -
From left to right:
1. LE Smith Stars and Moon pattern goblet;
2. LG Wright Wildflower pattern goblet;
3. Madonna Inn Wild Rose pattern goblet;
4. Diamond point ribbed pattern goblet;
5. Unknown;
6. Westmoreland Paneled Grape pattern goblet]

Image 8: Meissen plate from Germany

The German Meissen plate above has oak leaves and acorns trimmed with gold - definitely one of my favorites plates in my collection! It's also a fall plate. Acorns appear in fall and are all over my driveway!

I hope you enjoyed my fall hutch. I look forward to looking at other fall decor posts. I hope you have a great fall season - summer here went by too quickly!
