Yes, topless tureens!
Don't want the tops - just the bottoms.
I want them crazed and spotted and brown with age.
And I want them now!
But now I have fallen further into the white ironstone abyss.
Fallen hard.
The obsession came at me in a rush.
There on the front table when I entered the SPCA Thrift Shop were three perfectly distressed tureen bottoms at 50% OFF!
And my new collection began.
Love at first sight.
She was not going to put it out because it was so worn.
I WANT IT!
And she said yes.
I cannot even count the number of layers of paint.
It looks quite sweet with the topless tureens.
There may be a mantel or a tablescape here.
I'll let you know.
See y'all!

Lucky you! I have the very same one as the last tureen you showed. I have a really cute square tureen that is topless and also a small rectangular one. Like you, I have no problem with going topless!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I must have the tops!! I have been collecting the tops of broken ironstone dishes. Oh my am I going bottomless...I had a mailbasket like the one you found. Di@Cottage-Wishes
ReplyDeleteOoh, Donna, score! I love the second tureen especially - the brown aging appeals to me too.
ReplyDeleteI have an ironstone gravy boat that holds pencils on my desk. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm cracking up at your commentary.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!
Ah.. what a hoot, and such lovely finds. Loving that old chippy basket.
ReplyDeleteOh be still my heart, I love them too. That basket is gorgeous, never too chippy
ReplyDeleteNew life to items that others might pass by... love it! Keep rescuing!
ReplyDeleteThe title is funny and even funnier when I read the alliteration wrong. What's this world coming too! LOL Pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think they are breathtaking. Love ironstone & adore that basket. & the $ went to the SPCA! I would in heaven if I found all these, but at one time!!
ReplyDeleteI can picture the tops in a garden. I do love the bottoms too. Great finds Donna.
ReplyDeleteYou are having juts too much fun ... I want to come join you. Love topless tureens too because they are so easy to decorate with. I do find some of the lids interesting.
ReplyDeleteSwinging by from TheySayItsMyLife! I can see why you love them. They have so much character and are decorated so nicely!
ReplyDeleteI love your styling, Donna! I have one of these but bought it new at Cosco years ago ;)
ReplyDeleteI guess it's a compote really, but looks a lot like the one in your top photo.
Thank you for joining the History & Home link party. -Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
Love your tureens! You could hang the lids on the wall...but the bottoms look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the all! Yes, I can see a sweet display coming up. Wish I could find some topless tureens. Hee-hee! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
