Dreamy French Teas

I gather and sell a whole lotta stuff, but there are some pieces that I just can’t part with.

You may have had a peek at these on a former post.


This is one little set of tea treats that will always stay with Me!

I found these in France and I honestly had no clue just how cute they were until I got them home.

They were sitting on a shelf in a (very) packed store and all of the pieces were DUCT-taped together! (gasp!)

I thought the entire set was black with yellow cups.

Mais, non!

Just beyond the duct tape and dust were beautiful hues of orange and lavender!


The maker’s mark is “Ceranord” with a swan and doing a teeney bit of research on them has shown that they come from a long line of pottery and porcelain makers.


The Ceranord brand was established in 1908 and closed it’s doors in 1962, however, the Ceranord label originated from a long (very long) line of pottery-glass lovers who started their initial business in… 1705.



While writing this, I found this set of Saint Amand plates on Ebay France.


It’s actually a set of dessert plates – one design for each month of the year.

Oh. Help. Me.

I’m warning you now that if I ever find this set of plates on one of my treks across Europe, I can guarantee that you will hear my squeal of joy all the way over here!

So this is one of my little French treasures that I just had to share.

Hoping your weekend is full of fun vintage-inspired finds!
