Well, and don't forget to mention that the building was blue and white back then..... based on the ceramic version!
I love how you chose to show us the original view!
I think I prefer the old version, with trees adjacent to this fine building rather than tower blocks.
Reminds me of those blue dishes that were everywhere in the 50s. My grandmother had a set and I loved looking at the designs. Nice memory... what were they called????
Birdman, are you thinking of Blue Willow dishes? I like the look of this ceramic ware. I have enjoyed the history.
Jack, I like the way you provided continuity with the various photos, making each one distinctive. Posting the china with the images is wonderful, creative touch to the medley of posts.
I like the addition of the clock tower -- and the flagpole too.
I love this old style pottery with pictures of well known places on them. Not many people use them anymore. I have to confess that I have a set of plates with scenes from London on them. I love those plates.
Much better in blue than in B&W, this pottery is spectacular. great idea for a post!
Very interesting - makes me wonder if the pottery painter worked from another painting or what. It surely wouldn't have been a photo?
Great post! Wonderful scenes on the pots. My mother uses her mother's Blue Willow at Christmas and it is always a treat - love the blue& white.
How cool is that? And I like pottery. Wait, maybe I like getting potted. No, that's not it.
I think I'll go away now. I need a drink. :-)
Have a great week!
Very nice. I like the building a lot. The pottery is beautiful too. It reminds me of Delft from the Netherlands (but this is from the UK).
