Here I will share not only my experiences with my vintage Etsy shop, in which I sell jewelry, china tea cups, old pottery, paintings, vintage furniture, to name a few of the wide variety of items, but also my interests, beliefs and anything interesting I come across on the web. My posts will include spiritual subjects. I believe in Jesus and believe that God and the angels have played and do play an important role in what I experience in life. Because life is a spiritual experience. .

My Vintage Bavaria Fragonard Love Story Teapot

One of the more popular themes for teacups and china is the Fragonard image.

Vintage china with images from this famous French painter listed for sale online are very commonly called "Victorian couple" images, but he lived from 1732 to 1836. And the Victorian image is from the reign of Queen Victoria which was from 1837 to 1901.

I acquired this beautiful piece in the love story theme from a lady who had it in her family since her mother bought it in 1960:

It was only used for display, and it shows.

All of the gold is in exceptional condition. The transfer images are still in beautiful condition. There are no chips. No cracks. No crazing. And the inside is clean & white.
