It's time to join all the wonderful bloggers for Pink Saturday with How Sweet The Sound which is such fun!
With the holidays approaching, here is a pink transferware platter in with a great rural scene called Woodland, that was made by Enoch Wedgwood, England in the 1960s. Enoch is related to the great Josiah Wedgwood family, but a kissing cousin. But their ironstone tablewares are still very popular.
I love pink transferware, which is also called red. Perfect for the wonderful feasts we can look forward to in the coming months!. For more info on the platter at Time Was Antiques, just click on the photos.
Here are some photos of pumpkins for fall from the Cottage Journal from Hoffman Media Publishing who publish Victoria, Tea Time and Southern Living magazines and from Sunset magazine. Makes me smile!
Have a wonderful Pink Saturday. I intend to stay in and keep warm as we have a heavy storm coming through. Perfect for a cup of tea with the cat and a book...while my sweetie watches English football! Cheers!
And I don't mean does it grow on bread or mean your food has gone bad. Pudding molds or moulds have abeen a big deal for 200-300 years. And as every dessert lover knows, that's an important part of every meal.
Like the VERY old song "I say tomato, you say tomayto" the mold vs mould isn't a case of pronounciation but of spelling from origin. In the UK and countries with a British flavor it's mould, but in America it's mold.
Pudding molds have been made of several materials and collected widely since their real popularity in victorian times. Because of the victorian penchant to beautify everything within an inch of it's life, ornamentation was applied to the dining table and to how the food looked as well. A plain pudding (also a generic term for dessert in the UK) was a no-no on the victorian dining table so the pans desseerts were cooked in were fancied up so that a design was baked (or steamed) right in. There are figural designs, animals, vegetables and minerals, flowers, trees, castles & shields. This is a late victorian era stoneware mold or mould with a very popular and relatively simple design like bubbles or golf balls with paneled sides.
Molds or moulds are a wonderful collectible and make decorative groupings on shelves or counters. Cool.
