Rose Canton Vintage Find
Happy Friday!
It is truly amazing that this year is almost over. I don’t know about you, but I am not ready for 2024. Not at all. Yesterday was my monthly lunch with my friend and we went to a new restaurant called Gallery Pastry Shop. It was really good. I like trying to visit new places to eat. Especially when they are near antique stores.
My quest for beautiful home items continues. I visited a new antique store recently and honestly, I was not really impressed with it, but I did find these gorgeous ginger jars. I thought that they were Rose Medallion…

But it turns out that they are Rose Canton. These are dated from 1960-1980. I was so excited when I saw them under a table at this new antique store.
I am loving all of these colors! Such a beautiful combination of the greens, pinks, blues, and creams. Another detail that I really love are the hand painted brush strokes. I was told by Katherine from Pender & Peony that the marks on my jars mean that they were potted in Japan and painted in Hong Kong.
When I purchased them I had not decided where they would go yet so I have placed them on my bookcase in my office. I love them there for now. They are quite substantial. I paid $250 for both which I am not sure if I got a good deal or not but I will say this… I do love them! I believe that they are wonderful addition to my home decor.
You can search for Rose Canton ginger jars on eBay and Etsy. They are everywhere. If you can make an offer, then do it! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Happy Hunting!
The boutique does have a new arrival! My Blush Cameo Earrings are available to order! They are the perfect pink and feel very comfortable on the ear.
They look great atop the cabinet bookcase. At first glance I thought it was Famille Rose from Williams Sonoma. It’s certainly a lovely pattern. Just stunning Mrs. Shockley. My brain can’t process we are past mid October, which means it’s basically the end of the year, I’m not there yet. This year has flown by with grease lightening speed. I’m no where near ready for 2024. It is rapidly approaching. We’ve been having beautiful crisp morning and warm afternoon temperatures in GA lately. Leaves falling, crunching infer your feet during a walk. Very ASMR and lovely. Officially sweater weather in the south ???
You are right very ASMR weather. I love the autumn it’s one of my favorite seasons.
