sugar bowl

any info on maker please

 

Appears to be a hobbyist/home painted piece, the blank probably an European import..........but I have no other useless info to impart!

 

REALLY pretty! Very Monet. Is there a creamer??

 

no creamer , bought at car boot for a quid

 

That is a beautiful covered sugar. I dearly love it.

(Oh how I wish I could stop here but . . . WARNING: unabashed driveling ahead)

The butterflies are flitting among hollyhocks under the rays of the sun (the finial) and the handles are refracted rays of the sun. The sun's rays are reflected on the surface of a nearby pool of water (the golden base).

And yes, Silverthwait, you and I are both seeing it as Monet-esqe.

 

Thanks for info

 

Hey you could be right on the hollyhocks

 

Hmph. Dem's is delphiniums, dose is.

Of delphiniums blue, and geraniums red..."

Delphiniums it is then. Thanks for the information. They are lovely flowers.

I looked them up and found that they don't grow "around here" because we don't have "cool summers" by any stretch of the imagination.

 

silver, that poem was in my head, too!
