White buys...

 Sometimes when I am buying stock, I often end up colour co-ordinated.

Some days there is a blue theme or a even a red theme running through my purchases....but yesterday was a bit of a "white out".

A large white jug, a square cake stand and two small cups...one with gold lettering...Primitive Methodist Bazaar Skelmanthorpe 1897.
More than likely produced for a fund raising Bazaar in 1897 to help with maintenance of  this West Yorkshire church.
A nice piece of social history.

This sweet little pearlware jug with its naive pink lustre decoration of a house and landscape....dating from the early 19th century, so charming.

A large ceramic tray with a lip at one end is actually a print room developing tray when photographs came to life with the mysterious art of chemicals in a darkened room.
Thank goodness we have progressed to digital cameras.

I think for its new 21st century lease of life, it would be great in a kitchen or bathroom for bottles and potions.

4 white delicate Royal Crown Derby trios and a bread/cake plate.
So nice for afternoon tea...

And my piece de resistance which unfortunately does not photograph very well.

A large white linen tablecloth / bed cover with crochet panels of a deer and three baby deer....one lying down with just its head on show.

Beautiful quality linen with four triangle panels of white crochet work around the side....

And a central square panel depicting a running deer....

( Probably best viewed by clicking on the photo which takes you to blogger's black background )

Enjoy your week....
