I know most of you (myself included) are geared up for Fall and dreaming of bonfires, sweaters, falling leaves and cocoa but I thought I'd share something slightly on the romantic side of things. Why be romantic today? Because today is a very special day for Shawn and me. We are happily celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary!
Roses are the flowers of love, right? "The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart". I think roses are even more romantic when they are in a rose themed transferware pitcher!
I just adore this pitcher. It was made by Enoch Wood and Sons and is done in the two-color process which was a more expensive, laborious process because each color required its own transfer and firing. It can be dated to no earlier than 1830 (pink/red was first used as a transfer color this year) and to as late as 1846, when the E W & S factory closed.
I'll share the tablescape below sometime down the road. This was a romantic table that I didn't get a chance to post this past Valentine's Day.
I'm off to spend time to with my love!
Have a happy week!
Happy Anniversary, Nancy! What a beautiful pitcher filled with roses -- sweet and lovely, just like you! I hope you and Shawn have a wonderful day celebrating!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I have so enjoyed the red rooster pitcher I got from you. It's been either on my kitchen table or island ever since I got it, filled with flowers. I think white roses are my favorite flower in it, so far. Makes me happy!
Happy Anniversary wow 30 years with the same guy LOL
