does anyone have red dinner plate or waterlily dahlia?
Comments (5)Look for Red Velvet & Taratahi Ruby for the very best red waterlilies around. In the A sized ones I think Kenora Wildfire is pretty prolific. In the AA's you don't get a lot of prolific going on since they're so big, but if you don't disbud & disbranch to get them huge you can get a lot of blooms off of Cinnabar, Danum Meteor or Dauntless. I don't know what you mean by a "Dinnerplate" as there's no such classification but the above red AA & A's are all in the cactus or semicactus catagory. Winkie Colonel is an Informal Decorative red that's pretty nice, too....See MoreWANTED: Large (dinner plate size) Hibiscus Seeds or Plants for T

Comments (25)I have several pieces of outdoor furniture that need touching up annually with spray paint. Even when I pick a still day, a burst of wind will whip through and get paint all over me. I can't tell you how many times, I have had to get the paint speckles off my glasses. Windy days will also blow grass up on what you have painted for a nice textured effect! I must be having an old lady, whimsey day - - but I have a vision of painting the cages and stakes different bright colors....See MoreAsian design brass dinner (?) plate with heavy cast brass rim
Comments (7)This type of brassware was popular as wall art in the 1950-1970s. It was never intended to be eaten from or never intended to be placed on a table except maybe as a fruit bowl type of thing. It's intended use was as a decorative piece. The plate looks hand forged. The grapes were molded then soldered or welded on then finely chased (from what I can see). The Chinese design was engraved by hand. I really don't know who made this work, my first guess is India. Perhaps Indonesia. It is typical of the types of hand-made, hand-crafted items made in the 1970s to appeal to the American market at those import shops that were the precursor of Pier 1, and back when Pier 1 was actually importing one of a kind items. The design, while Chinese in origin, is actually copying Chinese export porcelain and those types of blue and white ceramics made in Europe and America for the last 200 years. It wasn't trying to "be" Chinese as much as it was imitating a popular style of design. As an example of brassware it shows several different techniques probably done by several craftsmen -and the exploitation (or demonstration) of these techniques was meant to show off the skills of the various workers and therefor appeal to the buyer. 1. Someone forged the plate, which has a crisp and deep inset. 2. The molds were made and 3. applied. 4. Then another chased the molds, though they are the same, they show unique differences especially when when you compare the tendrils. 5. Finally a worker incised the decoration, engraving it with a slim chisel. This piece shows the work of 5 different craftsmen. Still, at $28, I don't see it as an investment piece. But if you bought it because you love it -then try to find a way to display or use it. Find plate hanging hardware and put it up on the wall. It would also make a decent dish as a key drop on your dresser to empty your pockets onto. This post was edited by Lilylore on Thu, Dec 25, 14 at 8:39...See Morehondagirl
