ABOUT THE PROJECT

This project comes from my habit to check out people's kitchen cabinets, always looking for interesting or special ceramic objects. Some time ago I visited my friend Loeke, and she has the most wonderful old French kitchen set displayed on a shelf in her kitchen. I could not help myself and took a picture. That night I posted the first Kitchen Shelf Picture on my weblog... I look forward to many entries, dear stories, lots of information and many Kitchen Shelf Friends!

How it works: Send me an email at kitchenshelf@keramiek-centrum.nl and tell me the story and send one or more pictures. I am really keen on a picture of the stamp or factory logo on the bottom of the piece. Which makes it possible to investigate the origin, to learn more about the maker etc.

THE KITCHEN SHELVES:

On Lisettes Kitchen Schelf

Grannies China (MZ Czechoslowakia)
My nana was florist and had her shop in her very big house with an even bigger attick. I always went there to play, dressed up in my nana’s peignoirs pretending to be a lady from a novel like Jane Austen’s pride and prejudist . Best part was having dinner on her special china with roses, like a proper English Rose. I miss those days!

 




Eva’s dinner set (Royal Copenhagen): 
I went on roadtrip with my dear friend Wynet to Arhus, Denmark. There we saw the beautifully painted baby set in one of the lovely stores. When my daughter was born april 22th Wynet gave me a big box: It was the babyset! She bought it just in case one of us would get a baby :)



John’s cuppa (Tuscan China):
When in Rome....when in England we drink tea from posh porcelain with a dash of skimmed milk. Shall I put the kettle on?
