Pretty painted china

I must admit I am a real sucker for pretty china and crockery. Whenever we go thrifting (which is rather often) I cannot leave without a new teacup, teapot or a plate or two! None of our dishes match really, which is just the way I like it, and although I really don't technically need anymore I would absolutely love to have a selection from these lovely designers. They all alter vintage (not all vintage, but mostly) pieces either by painting, ink drawing or collage, and I absolutely love them!

Lou Rota is one of my favourite designers, I love the quirky mix of pretty romance with creatures that wouldn't normally be considered beautiful. That crow is one of my favourite pieces! She not only re-purposes china, but furniture and all sorts. I never thought I would be one to like decoupage, but this chair is definitely one to swoon over!

Esther Coombs is a London based designer selling on etsy, whose line drawings are to die for. All her pieces are originally thrift store or boot sale finds, which she then transforms by adding fantastic detail of beautiful buildings and the like. I particularly love her seed markers!

Ninainvorm is another favourite etsy designer of mine! Located in the Netherlands, she not only re-purposes vintage ceramics, but also makes and screenprints her own bowls and the like! I absolutely love her sense of colour and folky illustration style. That wee plate with the bunting is so unbelievably sweet! Nina also has a lovely blog where she talks about all things lovely and crafty. Go take a peek!

Happy Monday to you all, I hope it is treating you well!
