Hi, is good to be back to Show and Tell Friday.
I thought I would show some family things. First I have a pair of pigeon's blood
cloisonne vases that grace our dining room. My father bought these, one for each of my grandmother's , when he was in the Korean war in 1950's.
And I was lucky enough to inherit them both from my parents who got them back when
both my grandmother's passed.

The pair of vases set on little shelves that are part of
our antique ebony etagere in the dining room.
I use quake gel under them so they won't fall off.
I have the hand painted plates hanging on the wall above the etagere.
One of these antique plates I inherited from my Great Aunt's estate and then when
antique shopping years ago found a match to it. It is even signed by
the same artist.
Wouldn't it be pretty to have a whole table set of dishes like this?!
