Hey! I’ve been trying to identify this tea set that my mom got at an antique mall. I’ve been combing the internet but I haven’t come up with anything yet. I was hoping you might have better luck :)

Thanks!

WOW this is a gorgeous service!! Right off the bat I was thinking Limoges, and it turns out that isn't too far off!

I am getting some conflicting information on the studio itself, but overall I believe this was produced by the company Bawo & Dotter. Some databases online are connecting this backstamp to their studio in Austria, some are connecting it to their New York studio that imported and painted Limoges pieces. Regardless, this service would be around 90 to 100 years old, so long as the backstamp is authentic!

Unfortunately I don't think the company would have named and documented all of their patterns, especially not from the Limoges studio. They've got a Replacements page, but I didn't find this set in it, and Replacements is far from the end-all-be-all of everything a company ever produced. Still a beautiful service though and very reflective of popular styles coming out of Europe at the time!

#ceramics #submission #i also believe this is a coffee service rather than tea! from what i know of coffeepots they're taller and have a straighter silhouette #with a spout positioned higher on the body to prevent any stray coffee grounds from pouring out #coffee cups have straighter silhouettes as well! and are generally larger than teacups #of course they can be used for anything lol but i think the standard styles came about because coffee was easier to obtain at the time #so the pots were bigger and taller as compared to the smaller shorter teapots #coffee pots were also sometimes used for hot chocolate as well #sorry for the umm actually in the tags here fksfhg i just love coffeepots and their unique silhouettes

I'm trying to give this thing better stakes cause it's getting wild, but I'm hitting so many big roots as I search for a spot where the new stakes can go in without tearing anything up. does this mean the monstera is starting to outgrow its pot already?

this pot is 14 inches in diameter but the only size bigger that the hardware store carries is 16 inches. idk if I should shell out the forty bucks for that if it'll only accommodate this monstera for another 6 months or instead go to a nursery where I can get something that's 18 inches across.

#it would be nice to guide all these fucking aerial roots into a larger pot #people say they die if you put them in dirt but thay has never happened for my monsteras.#maybe cause theyre in plain terra cotta without a nursery pot though so water drains extra well

it is succulents propagation time, as it is every year. it never gets old, turning one plant into 100 (or 50, or 10, depending on the stock plant) and watching the little unrooted cuttings take and grow new leaves and eventually go to happy homes. :'3

#some stuff it's easy to get a million decent cuttings (Crassula muscosa) and some you're lucky to get 2 pups a year (Dyckia)#but I only need a couple trays of watchchain so the stock pots do end up getting a haircut directly into the compost at some point.#the Dyckia stock plants are finally like. getting larger and setting more pups though! so maybe next year I'll get half a tray's worth!!!#they were so small when I got them... they don't REALLY belong with succulents - more houseplants - but well. they live in my mess.#I gave Cyanotis somaliensis to houseplants. they have Tradescantias. basically the same thing.

really love when i try a New Product and really like it and then it ends up having either zero quality control or the quality control gets drastically slashed after they determine enough people have tried it lol

#i make my own potting mixes and like #for the soil component i tried using miracle gro tropical mix #and loved it like it had huge chunks of lava rock and a nice mix of soil and moss #went back to get two more bags finally to do a larger batch and #both bags were like 90% moss with some microscopic lava rock pieces scattered in #like i don't expect out of the bag mixes to have enough drainage obv this is why i mix my own BUT #the first time i tried it they were at least...significant enough that i could see them on the surface of the soil...#like in the final mix #now with this new batch they aren't even visible unless you dig eeeeeeeeee

so sick of the fucking eternally expanding subdivision like the fucking winchester house of neighborhoods waking me up with construction noises every fucking day of the year, i sent my alderman an email demanding she change the local noise ordinances from my phone in bed.

#jack facts #anyway i think corporate landlording should be illegal but that's a bigger fish for a larger pot of oil

got this wood fern from the native plant person at the tuesday farmers market and it’s been looooving the humidity. look at it unfurling, look at the spores!

#i am undecided about where it will eventually live #which is why it’s currently sitting inside a much larger pot on the porch #seems to like it there though #fern period #more information about penguins than i care to have

feeling like a Whole Person tonight despite feeling so tired that i could pass away. that's always nice! i don't care for the alternative (feeling so tired that i could pass away coupled with wanting to pass away).
