A break for a tea

First of all I would like to wellcome my  new Followers, thank you very much for visiting my Blog.

I´ve no news in which concerns my work, I´ve been operated a second time to remove the "support material" of my broken foot, and I hope to get well in a near future, and hope also to return to my studio as soon as possible.

Now I profit to invite all my Followers to join me at another cup of tea, and a slice of marble cake.

Tea cup from Limoges and marble cake

Porcelaine "Tête-à-Tête" tray, with a simple but lovely hand painted landscape

I "bought" this tea set more or less 20 years ago from an antique dealer to whom I restored some porcelain pieces, instead of receiving money from my work I preferred  to buy this antique tea set from Limoges. The lids have a few damages but I never had time to repair them....


The mark at the bottom of the tea cup


And of course a miniature tea set near one of my cakes.  As I can´t find any supplier of  good white porcelain one of the experiences I would like to try some day is to enrich some of the miniature porcelain I have, i.e. I intend to profit the decoration  made with decals of these serial pieces,  and paint some more detail and a border using porcelain pigments, there´s one thing I don´t know, if these tiny pieces will stand high temperatures of 780º., as always I´ve so many ideas on my mind and so little time to accomplish them.....

I would like very much to find good quality white miniature porcelain to paint, do you know any supplier?

  2. Patty thank you so much for the link you sent me, but I forgot to mention that I needed a supplier for miniature porcelain, in which concerns scale 1/1 I have several pieces.

    But I thank you as well,
    Ana

  5. Ana, The link I sent you didn't work for some reason. If you go to marylandchina.com and look in their Children Tea Sets category they have a wonderful dollhouse boxed set that is $17.95

    It is blank except for a gold edge.

  7. Apetitosas las tartas y muy delicadas las porcelanas, tanto las reales como las miniaturas.
    Sus óleos y sus muebles pintados son magníficos y realmente me ha sorprendido que una artista de su calibre siga mi blog, gracias. Un saludo,Eva
