Imperfect Rose

AN IMPERFECT ROSE

imperfect roseimperfect rose 2imperfect rose 3

When I came upon these lovely tattered vintage porcelain roses, I instantly fell in love with them — chips and all. I’ve scattered them in the dining room where they look quite at home next to my blue willow, and in a cherub wall pocket in my bedroom.

I confess that I have a love of roses … even the imperfect ones.

    That is another thing I never turn down, I love those china roses! I have them all over too. I don’t find them often, but when I do, I buy them all. They usually are pretty cheap, I don’t know that everyone appreciates them as much as they should. Maybe we should start a trend!

    Michele, I’m so sorry I didn’t answer your question.

    I got these in a “box lot” at an auction. They were tucked down inside under some linens. I think I paid like $20 for the whole box of stuff.

    How pretty, I don’t think I have ever seen a porcelin rose before.
