QUEENIE DISHES

  Designer's note:

'Queenie Dishes' is my take on an old British term, 'Olde Dish Queen', used amusingly and lovingly for passionate china or porcelain collectors of either gender. For centuries there have been many china collectors of all ages from all over the world whom have appreciated the artistry, history and decorative elements of something small enough to admire in one hand and practical enough for serving food. The china does not have to be in sets, expensive, nor old, but there has to be some aesthetic quality that draws the eye or tugs at the heart.

Sometimes these passions can get a bit obsessive, as collections keep expanding. Storing these lovelies can become a major problem when all the cupboards, closets, tables, floors and bathtubs are overflowing. I have to confess to being an  "Olde Dish Queen"  for many years. Seeing beautiful dishes gives any 'Olde Dish Queen' a real high, but this Queenie promises to maintain a bit self control and stop before the bathtub! !

'FOREVER PIECE'

                                         Christie's Auction Celebrates 500 years of Decorative Arts
                                                                               on April 15th, 2011

Queenie loves auctions and catalogues......the easiest method to learn about art, antiques, markets. Auctions are the perfect venue to roam for the special 'forever piece'. Included in this extensive sale is a technically sophisticated and signed 'John Miller Bedford' regulator-clock with the Zodiac calendar, an immensely humourous reclining 'Punch' bowl and an elegantly crafted center table with the scrolling acanthus and relief cast plaque. Anyone of these pieces can move easily from city apartment to surburban home, from traditional to restrained contemporary to be the 'forever piece'.

Look up Christie's catalogue #2435.

Lot 485 William IV Mahogany Longcase Regulator with Year Calendar Circa 1830
Lot 253 George Jones Majolica Yellow-Ground "Punch" Bowl Circa 1874
Lot 134 French Ormolu-Mounted Amaranth and Sycamore Center Table Circa 1875

Focus on Color

Simply stated, Queenie loves color and lines. This page was insprired by the richness and clarity of three fine pieces. A hand crafted Regency English Hall chair by R. Richardson, a Meiji period Japanese silvered and gilded teapot, and a Tucker Robbins Hollow Zig-Zag stool. Together a global view, honoring the past and embracing the future.

Winter

Queenie is feeling chilled to her little bones and fantasizing about her ultimate escape to keep  warm during these blizzardly winter nights.
