Porcelain Vintage Find

I was in this cute little Portuguese cafe today in the nordstadt called Gostoso (photo below from Qype) and I noticed in a corner they had some flea market finds for sale.



That is where I spotted this sweet vintage porcelain pot -- I grabbed it right away. After a good cleaning at home, I put some lollipops inside and it will go in my kitchen for now. I'm moving in 12 days (eek!) and well... I don't know where anything will eventually end up but I do know that it will be put to good use.

I love the pattern, very Orla Keily don't you think?

I'll show you my loot from the fabric market today... but most likely in a day or two so stay tuned! :)

I hope you are having a nice weekend! xo

San - I don't think it's a sugar pot, it's pretty big. I have to research it a bit now, maybe you are right but it's quite large for sugar.
San said…
Oh, mmh... it looks like a sugar pot :) I couldn't quite guess the dimensions. Let me know if you find out what it is :)

just wanted to say that i'm a new reader of your blog. found it totally randomly and i love it. the stuff you post is soooo cute. also, i live in california but will be moving to germany next year, so it's nice to read about someone who is going through something that i will soon be going through (moving thousands of miles away, settling into a new life, et cetera).
Adorable! And Orla was my first thought. :)

Hello!! Just got here in your blog, and already I am recognizing friends! :) So, I am a portuguese girl... and I might say that I think this beautiful porcelain piece could serve for jewelry. We do have that habit... actually our mothers & grandmothers had it more... keep all the jewelry inside a porcelain box. I believe that is the purpose, but if not... for lollipop seems quite delicious as well!! Have a sweet day, Twiggs
LOVE it~ You always find THE best things hun, and this one is no exception( very orla yes! :) Also, I loved seeing all of the shots below of your place...I am so excited to see what you do with it! So much fun! I know it is going to be beautiful!

Hi, I believe it's a cookies pot used for tea. The flower pattern is beautiful.

Olá,

I actually think, that it´s a "bonbonnière". Thank you for stopping by and for liking the "flea corner".

Greetings

Hello Holly. =)

I'm also a portuguese girl, following your blog for years. =)

I have the collection of that same porcelain pot, but in color. The flowers are bright orange and the leafs dark green. =)
It belonged to my mother when she married. =)

I love the name of the portuguese coffee, "Gostoso", it means tasty. =D

I left you a comment on your facebook (or was it decor8? Not sure), I hope you read it.
It's in the name of Enchanted Jewellery. =)**

And as I said on the message, thank you for inspiring me for so many years my dear. =)
