Let's all join Sally at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ and show off some blues. Let's check out her participants' sites and enjoy their blues too!For today, I would like to show you our pair of Sevres eggs on ormolu stands. I think they call this shade Celeste Blue.
I might have shown you these in passing but never on their own. They are quite large, in fact, I cannot find a pedestal big enough to hold them. Their base alone is 18 inches wide.
They have a different hand painted design on each side.
John likes to collect eggs so we have a lot of egg shaped items here at the house.
Because I cannot find pedestals big and strong (they're heavy!) enough to hold them, they are sitting on the floor on either side of the French Provincial cabinet in our formal dining room.
In case you are wondering, behind each door of the cabinet holds a set of dinnerware.
Thanks Sally, for diligently hosting Blue Monday week after week.

ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteI'm late coming around today but I'm glad I didn't miss this ginormous eggs! Very pretty!
When I saw your first photo, I assumed that your pieces were small. WOW, when I saw them next to your cabinet, I saw their actual size! They are so beautiful! I absolutely LOVE their shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I didn't realize how big these eggs were uuntil the picture of them on the floor by the cabinet (how convenient to have your dinner sets stored right in the dining room!!).
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful and must be rare if they are handpainted, no? I can't get over all of the pretty artwork and pieces you have in your home. So lovely!
