Nenaghgal Checks out the Tableware at Fota House

Just a short little post for a Saturday.....During the trip I make to Fota House in early September we also toured through the house. While walking around, I found myself fixated on some of the porcelain pieces on display. This tureen (above and below) was particularly beautiful.

I liked this one, below, too but found it's colour less exciting. You know me and colours!!

In the dining room the table was set with these interesting plates- they felt slightly "Pompeian" to me. What do you think?

In the kitchen of the house, I adored these gigantic serving platters. If I had a bigger kitchen, I'd have these hanging on my walls on display.

Always a fan of stripes- I really fell in love with this one. Oh to stumble across one of these in a car boot sale! I think I was drawn to these because I've been thinking about shooting food so much lately and I visualized using these in my own photography and food experiments!
