Tack för era uppmuntrande ord på mitt förra inlägg. Jag kommer fortsätta blogga som jag gör, och kanske sluta tänka på att jag visar samma saker som jag visat flera gånger tidigare. Det är kanske mest jag som tycker att jag upprepar mig? Här blåser det och är tråkväder fortfarande. Nu har jag rensat ut julen och jag behövde ha in lite mer fräschhet och krispighet i huset, kände jag. Det fick bli lite blått. Blå är en färg som jag vanligtvis är ganska kluven till. Jag kan tycka blått i nyanser av himmel, förgätmigej, lavendel och slitna jeans är vackert, men jag gillar inte alls kobolt- eller marinblått. Jag tror fortfarande jag lider av en överdos från sent 1990-tal när det gäller den färgen, ha ha! Jag har nästan inga blå saker alls hemma och det visade sig att utbudet i affärerna inte var så stort heller. Imorgon ska jag ta några bilder hemma (av det lilla blå jag fick tag på) men i väntan på det får ni hålla tillgodo med några fina blå inspirationsbilder, den första är ur Boråstapeters serie "Karlslund", resterande bilder minns jag inte var jag fann på nätet... Lantligt, charmigt och samtidigt fräscht, tycker jag.

The "Limoges Unique" mark was created in 1929 by the union of the Limoges porcelain manufacturers as a label to certify genuine Limoges porcelain. It was used for a short period along with the factory mark and the decorating studio mark. List of the manufacturers and decorating studios that used this mark along with their own mark from 1929 onwards: in "Histoire de la Porcelaine de Limoges" René Dessagne A.F - André François (1919-1934) A.

The Roseville Pottery Company was founded in 1890. Roseville initially produced simple utilitarian ware such as flower pots, stoneware, umbrella stands, cuspidors, and limited painted ware. In 1900, Roseville Rozane became the first high quality art pottery line produced by Roseville. In the early teens as demand for the more expensive, hand-crafted art pottery declined Roseville pottery shifted production to more commercially produced pottery. Roseville's ability to nimbly adapt to market conditions was one of the potteries' greatest attributes as Roseville was continually able to produce the most popular patterns and styles compared to their immediate competitors. Roseville pottery introduced Pinecone in 1935. Pinecone became the most successful and highest volume pattern produced during the existence of Roseville pottery. The pattern includes over 75 different shapes in blue, brown, and green. World War II necessitated another production change for Roseville pottery. During this time period, Roseville introduced such patterns as Fuchsia, Cosmos, Columbine, White Rose, Bittersweet, and Zephyr Lily. While these patterns were still the best quality art pottery in the market at this time, it was not enough to save the company. Roseville Pottery ceased operations in 1954. Throughout Roseville's days of production, its versatility and innovativeness served to keep the company at the forefront of the various decorating styles and buying public trends. Even to this day, Roseville pottery still represents the most widely known and most collectible art pottery ever produced. I've included a complete list with photos of all their art pottery lines.
