The FRICK COLLECTION is a sight to behold. One of those rare places where old master paintings and French furnishings exist in their original settings. The jewel box mansion in New York houses collection after collection.
I love porcelains-I inherited the sickness from my GranMa-in my case pure and simple genetics.

Ha Love a good fake/faux! What the Frick-that's awesome. I can't top that comment, but I do heart the Frick. So I'm not normally into china, I must be really late on this one, but lately I cannot stop leering {yes, leering} at Michael C. Fina website and it's china. Screw having a matching set, I want one of each. The colors are amazing.
ReplyDelete"frickin" great! I want these for my summer party!

I love these tin plates. I purchased tons the last time I was at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. They are actually quite beautiful, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteDidn't Oprah put paper plates on display? Can't remember for sure. But I do think that all is missing from your butler's pantry is the butler. Then there would be that pesky uniform problem and all.
