Transferware

14 years ago

For all of you who love Transferware to decorate with, use, or just admire, this gal's bathroom is stunning I think. I am sure wild about it. Lots of photos!

And when you reach the end, just before the comments posting starts, there are 5 picture links of her's. Be sure you click on the one that says Welcome and

see just what her Transferware actually includes! WOW.

Oh, also I just have to share this. It was on eBay and I couldn't resist, just was calling to me Big Time. Its ceramic, hand-painted, 14 inches long! And it arrived today. I love this piece. I've hung it on the wall near my kitchen counter.

hugs, Karen

Yep! That woman has a bit of a collection. No doubt about it.

Your new bunny platter is wonderful. Don't you just love the twig/branch edging?! What do the words say?

Thanks for the link, Karen. It was fun to see how this gal used some of her Transferware out of the dining room.
I especially like the initial pic of the TW hands. That's a piece I've NEVER seen before! I have two of the red & white TW tureens like hers and now I have another idea of how to use them :^)
But . . . my very favorite piece is your new platter!!!! The twig-like edging on it is wonderful and very unusual! I'm so happy for you . . . please put me FIRST on your list to send it to when you tire of it (which I'm hoping you will verrrrry soon) ;^D
Love, love, love it!!!!!!!!!

How do I start a transferware collection?
Q
Comments (11)
Ideefixe, the brown transferware from the arts and crafts period is exactly what I'm interested in. eandhl, yes I asked about the vendor but she only comes in during a weekday morning, once a week. Unfortunately that's when I'm working too. She has an amazing collection for sale, though. One thing I don't understand - she has a notecard attached to each piece but it never tells the date or even range of dates. Why do you think this is? Linda, now I'm really confused. : ( "It's all authentic transferware, weather it's 150 years old or made yesterday. " Does this mean that it doesn't matter how old the piece is that I buy?

Hi Mona, If you click on the picture, it will take you to a close-up shot. As I remember, it was under $20. Also if you do a Google search, you'll find the line (Lasting Impressions by Victoria Heart) IS available online. Not sure about this particular pattern because I bought it a few year ago. Let me know if you want more info or if you want me to go by the shop and check out their current stock.

'celebrating' transferware and ironstone
Q

She's got two of my favorite things going... Transferware & Ironstone! Love her collections. I've used ironstone for kitchen utensils because it's hardy.... but she's daring using her transferware that way. Guess I'm too chicken - of them chipping or breaking. I have to admit I love the look and, do admire how she uses them. jane

LOL...love it kathleen... I also 'felt' as though you were right in the room talking to me!! With the dreary, came the rain here too. Just awful. There are mushrooms all over the lawn! I hope your new 'do' didn't get spoiled. lol Again, my kind of shopping >> going out for groceries and bringing back 'Goodies' ...hehehe Sounds like you did really well with those dishes. I love the size of the rimmed bowls. I've got them in the Mikasa IV and also in Pfaltzgraph (pasta/soup). DH likes that kind of bowl for soup and pasta. You can't go wrong with the white...but I hear you on the different shades of white...so true. I'm looking forward to you showing them off. Laughing at your 'hidden stash'. For two days now, I've received ebay winnings...and there's another two on the way. The other day, I took the package before DH was aware it arrived. Today, DH wondered why the mail was left on the porch, when he saw me bring it in (but not the package). I said 'oh your prescription arrived...I guess he didn't want it to get wet'... Which, of course, puzzeled him. I know, I'm bad. Now I have to work on a plan for the other two.. Wouldn't it be great if some of us lived near each other... we could 'cover' for each other's purchases. We could tell them we were accepting a package for 'our friend'...'not us' !! They'd never know. I wonder how much mileage we could get out of that plan. LOL jane

I love your bunny platter! Very unique edging.

Thanks (I think!) for the blog link. ;-D When I have some time I know what I'll be doing. That blog is very timely for me as I have been thinking of putting some of my plates on the wall again. I removed them a few years ago when DH repaired and repainted. I have never put plates in the bathrooms, maybe it's time - looks lovely in her bath.

Karen...I saw that Tray On Ebay...

We would have been competing against each other for sure.
Love it..and it's so you!!

Yay! So glad you were able to get the bunny tray, Karen, it sure is pretty and I know you will enjoy it lots.

I browsed several pages of that blog--she really has a large collection of the transferware and does some pretty decorating. I'm sure I'll go visit again and look some more, thanks for sharing the site.

I am so glad all of you enjoyed that gal's decor as much as I did. I'd NEVER have thought of using Transferware pieces like that in the bathroom on the counter. Since I'm nuts about plates, I'd put them anywhere tho. LOL. Her floral arrangement over the mirror is my very favorite. I'd love to do something similar to mine. I have a long counter, tho its L-shaped. My mirror has no space above it for plates or anything, but I could do a floral garland along the top easily. (in fact I do for Christmas).
I still can't believe she has a BIG warehouse FULL of just transferware. Bet the Greenie Monster attacked a bunch of you on that part. I can just see all your DHs being told to look what she got for her dishes! LOL.

OA, the wording on my new platter is interesting. Some is printed, some is script, some looks like actual handwriting. And it says all different kind of stuff, even to being latin names for some of the butterflies and plants.
The two bluish marks on the top left are realistic postal "stamps". Its all so unique and neat I think.

Slinkey, I'm so glad I didn't have to fight you for it.
Whew.
hugs, Karen

WOW!! I flipped thru all 21 pages of her etsy transferware site and was just amazed at some of the gorgeous pieces. I *almost* came close to ordering something - and you know I never buy online! Very tempting tho. I do have several pieces she has for sale but I bot mine at YS or thrifts for less than $1. whereas her prices for the same things were $14.99. Think I'll keep trying YS/thrifts! ;-D

Her blog is very inspirational for decor and tablescapes too.

I was prowling eBay again and stumbled across this lovely set of RED Transferware, and immediately thought of you gals that love this color in particular.
This sure is pretty...
and several are available, so you wouldn't have to fight over one. LOL.
