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!

thinking about how jeremy is taking this ceramics class for fun and how @theroyalbitch and I took a classics class about pandora and psychopathy our senior year just so we could have a class together. AND we took it pass/fail because we didn’t care about it and we were the only ones doing well in it. Like we actively sat there in the front row reading books and playing solitaire why were we the only ones doing well??

Listen guys I know I will never be much good* (or even enjoy, tbh) calligraphy, but my mother-in-law keeps giving me old “the basics of calligraphy!!” sets that she finds at goodwill that obviously someone got as a gift in the 90s and never even opened and I enjoy collecting the inks and tiny ceramic bowls and inkstones so, so much ☺️
*this isn’t poor self esteem btw this is clear eyed & serene knowledge of where my skills lay and the answer to that is in art forms that do not require steady hands and good spatial awareness. I like digital art and fiber crafts lmao.

Some old shopping channel videos that partially recorded over my cartoons as a kid, thought I'd upload them here for archival purposes (2/3)
BEHOLD. CUP. that's vaguely triangular-
Made this during the fever of having like 2 weeks to throw 50 pieces. I died a few times but I'm ok. This piece was fired in a wood fired salt kiln. Finally got to have an (2) over night shift! Was very fun.
I swear it's not as wobbly in person- if you could see the set up I used to film this you would vomit. Don't get me wrong. It's not my best work, but the fact this was held up on several scrap pieces of wood from the burn pile and then sat on top of a folded up pillowcase that I couldn't remove a ridge in the middle from making it even more wonky. BUT I DIGRESS.
