Description
I joined a 5-day challenge starting March 6, 2023 and the theme for this challenge was “In the Kitchen”. Here is my Day 5 – I have several antique and vintage plates and platters in my kitchen, so I decided to photograph them. Here is one of them that was in my great grandfather’s Inn close to 200 years ago in Germany. It is the only thing that my mother’s family had kept from that time. It is very special to me. It is a blue willow type plate, hand painted with a sweet scene in the middle of the plate of two boys fishing. It is in remarkable condition but has pitting and faded spots from use in the Inn. I made a transparency of the plate and placed it on a vintage leaf patterned wallpaper background processed into a slight faded blue tone, complementary to the tones in the plate, in order to make the plate stand out.

This is lovely, Gaby. I have a Delft plate I bought in Holland and this one reminds me of mine.
Gaby Ethington replied:
I could not remember the word Delft, yes, that is the style of this plate. Thank you, Mary!
