In a Vase on Monday - Flowers and Stangl
Amidst all the shades of purple, a bit of gold brightens the vase and sets off the vintage Stangl bowl. The scabiosa and coreopsis were gifts from two of my children for mother's day this year. The Stangl bowl was a gift from my in-laws several years ago. They enjoy perusing estate sales for interesting finds and this was one of them. Stangl is American folk art pottery. Stangl dinnerware and artware was sold in over 3000 stores in the United States during the 1940s. Hand painted dinnerware had become popular during this time period and people flocked to the Stangl showroom in New Jersey hoping for a bargain. Stangl closed it's doors in 1978, thus you can now find Stangl pottery on ebay, etsy and other online sources.
What's in the vase?

You did a masterful job of pulling out the colors in the bowl!
ReplyDeleteAs Kris says, you have matched the colours up really well - and how interesting to read about the Stangl pottery
ReplyDeleteA lovely pop of color! The Stangl looks familiar, perhaps my grandmother had some? Too bad we don't have it today. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I was trying to find a way to incorporate the gold flowers and so Stangl become part of the IAVOM!
ReplyDeleteThe yellow and purple really sing together, so cheerful.
