It's Back! Blue and White Porcelain is All the Rage..Again

In Style this month, you’ll see home furnishings products from Arteriors, Bungalow 5, Pierre Frey, Port 68, Safavieh Couture, and W. King Ambler.
Does blue and white porcelain ever really go out of style?!  It may take a break now and again, but it is truly timeless.  An ode to china celebrates both the birthplace of porcelain and the classical designs that created an art form. Modern offerings play on ancient, traditional porcelain shapes — like urns,temple jars and tea caddies — for a delightful dash of wit.  Retail prices are shown for some of my favorite items below.  Contact us for our pricing, lead time, and to order.

Port 68's dragon-emblazoned garden stool borrows from the refined shape of a classic temple jar, minus the general's hat. Based on an original watercolor by Anne Croy, W. King Ambler's exclusive giclee references traditional Chinese porcelain with a koi- and lotus-embellished urn.

Miniature, hand-painted jars add a stylized sense of wit to Bungalow 5's generously curved, high-fired porcelain temple jar. The dramatic Alessa lamp from Arteriors juxtaposes crisp diamond shapes against lavish, ink-dark swirls for grand, eye-popping contrast.

    This is a great list for sure. The only problem i’ve found is that even if you make a honest comment about a post, if the blog owner even thinks you are using the link for seo purposes they like to delete the comment. Especially if you are targeting your keywords instead of leaving a name. What would be great is a list like this with blogs that you know you are allowed to comment on with out getting your link removed.

      I don't mind leaving links.  Aside from enjoying writing and educating people about a topic that is loved, links are a big reason that many like to blog.  However, I think many of us prefer to have comments from people with similar interests.
