Fenton

Yesterday I found this lovely china jar in a local charity shop. It has a backstamp but unfortunately I do not know much more about it.

Fenton's greatest manufacturer was Thomas Whieldon, the most pivotal figure of 18th C pottery.

I love the way the tea cups light up when the candles are lit.

Have you tried making candles in teacups yet? It is very easy to do. Have a look in the drop down menu on the page for the instructions.

Sugar bowl

Moss Rose T432 by Wedgwood China
Description: Pink Moss Rose with Green Leaves

Moss Rose is one of the oldest recorded china patterns, dating back to the 17th century.

 Moss rose china was made by many firms from 1808 to 1900. It has a typical moss rose pictured as the design. The plant is not as popular now as it was in Victorian gardens, so the fuzz-covered bud is unfamiliar to most collectors. The dishes were usually decorated with pink and green flowers. The moss rose design was used by many companies.

The sugar bowl is  Wedgwood, Etruria and Barleston, England. It dates back to the 1940's.
