This is the blue and white bowl that started my collection. It measures 12" across, and it's pretty heavy. I found it many years ago and thought that it would fit into our home nicely. It used to sit in the center of our entertainment unit, with the burgundy wall seen behind it.
It's decorated inside as well as outside in a shell motif.
Here's where it's placed in our rental. I'm not sure just where it'll end up in our new home, but I am sure that we'll have it on display.

Sally that is a charming bowl! I do have a thing for bowls.Happy blue monday.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally. Thanks for your comments while I was gone. I did manage to visit a few people while at my daughter's home. Today I have lots of catching up to do.
ReplyDeleteI do not know if Andy Rooney said that email but I did like what it said too.
Your bowl is beautiful. The shells inside make it different. Lovely, and it is so nice you brought it with you to make your rental feel like home. I did the same thing when we lived in a rental when one of our new homes was built. It was furnished but I brought my hutch with me.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs, Jeanne
Very nice blue bowl collection...Mine is also up.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I wondered what started it all.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally, I have posted about my granddaughter winning many ribbons at her horse show this past Saturday...

ReplyDeleteSally, what lovely things you have. Once you get moved and all your things in place, your home will be a real show place. I love the bowl.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally, Your bowl is beautiful! I love blue and white pottery. It's just lovely. I din't have any blue this week to show but I did post a Halloween blog Party. I think there is some blue in there some where. I don't know if it counts though.

I like the print on the inside too. Reminds me very much of Florida, which shouldn't surprise me too much. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love blue dishes.
ReplyDeleteI love your blue bowl. I am sure it will have a special spot. Thanks for hosting this fun meme.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking time to comment on my "baby blues." These are the Baby Grands. The little blond guy belongs to our oldest son and looks just like he did. And the little olive skinned baby belongs to our youngest son, and he looked just like that at that age. So fun watching our boys raise their boys!!
Blessings.
Sally, it is so unique and pretty. You are going to have so much fun deciding where to put your treasures in the new house! I can't wait! laurie
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bowl... I could see it holding all kinds of lovely things... especially sea glass.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
Such a sweetly beautiful piece Sally. I love it...I can see how it holds a special place in your home.
ReplyDeleteI promise to become a part of Blue Monday soon...it is one *party* I so adore as Blue is my favorite color and I always have it around me in some fashion!
Love,
Sue
