Are You a Unique Gift Giver? A Gift from the Heart

Unique, Antique Gifts Become Heirlooms ~

When I married, we certainly enjoyed receiving our wedding china & the other items we selected. Some of our more cherished items, years later, are the gifts carefully chosen, just for us. Some heirlooms are not only beautiful to look at, but heartwarming as well.

Choose by piece - plates, cups, tureens - in our Directory

Choose by color - Designer Directory.

Antiques from Turtle Rock loves adding to the heirloom set from the grandparents or great-grandparents, be it looking for the set itself or making a modern splash by adding pieces like a new salad set that blend like a beautiful oriental rug. Repeating different patterns, in like colors, are fabulous. And entertaining to the guests!

Please enjoy looking through our items; you can choose our directory by the type of pieces searched for or by color preference. If you have any questions,we are an email away & look forward to hearing from you! holdenll@hotmail.com

Spring Re-decorate! China is an everlasting, timeless art !

Yes, you've decorated your house and it looks good! For how long has it been looking good? You've even had your Spring Cleaning! No? Better yet, when the furniture is hauled out, don't put it back the same way. Don't put out your same pieces of art/treasure. Change the rooms around. Try it on paper if you are like me. I guarantee you will either love it or not like it, but give it a few months. People will actually see your home again and notice. It is a bit like Easter Egg hunt for adults.

Our love is antique china - tureens, beautiful plates. They are used as art in the following ways:

~ Beauty - the Pursuit's so Interesting ~

Collecting Limoges china is joyful because the French art is magnificent. Acres of beautiful china to enjoy! This abundance comes from the hardest, most pristine clay in the world - durability! The creativity of the art world during the Impressionist area was very special indeed.

If you are interested in more information on the development of Haviland, we are top ebay guides. Link

Life! Liberty! Freedom! And Antique China for All!

Just as beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God, Antique Limoges lends it self to Bi-Partisan Politics.

Looks like President Lincoln likes Antique China, he hangs with it.

And the last guy in the White House liked it too....



Antique China as art to inspire you.... http://bit.ly/Artdefinesyou

Big Event? Polishing up on Emily Post for the right fork and knife?

Proper table setting for formal dinner:

A- Serviette (napkin)

B- Service plate

C- Soup bowl on plate

D- Bread and butter plate with butter knife

E- Water glass

F- White wine

G- Red wine

H- Fish fork - has an unusual shape, usually, different from photo.

I- Dinner Fork

J- Salad fork

K- Service knife

L- Fish knife - an usual shape, a little like a butter knife.

M-Soup spoon

N- Dessert spoon and cake fork . Recommended - salad fork (J) is placed to the left of the dinner fork (I). However, in a formal setting the dinner fork is placed to be used before the salad fork because it is suggested that the guest awaits the main meal before helping him/herself to the salad.

N - can also be placed next to the knives as a coffee/tea spoon, on the outside.

In truth, salad forks move around, Americans eat salad first, they are placed to the most outside, we work our way in. In Europe, salad is eaten as a second course, the salad fork would be placed closer to the plate.

What's the most common Q (?) people ask each other over a casual meal? The correct way to eat salad from a dinner plate - i.e. all the food is served as one course - then eat the whole meal with the large I fork. Really. If the table setting is just 2 forks, for a dinner to be served all on one plate, dinner I and salad J, the meal will include a dessert and the salad fork will be used for the dessert fork.

Modern people when confronted with so many utensils, will duck their heads to "look at the food" while they all observe which utensil from their neighbor. It is called punting! It is okay. We have long passed the days of Henry VIII, greasy fingers and barbarous lack of manners. All these utensils are supposed to add to the elegance of the meal. No one will remember next week what utensil you used. Even Emily Post ate fried chicken with her fingers.

Napkins are treated with a casual disdain in usage. It will immediately be placed in your lap. If you should leave the table for conversation, buffet, restroom -ladies/mens' room (not the bathroom unless you are in a private home with a bath), the napkin is placed on the table. Seems like the chair would be appropriate, but it is just a rule to place it on the table. Perhaps in the golden era of servants running past, this was an invitation for a new, clean napkin.

Passing food? Pass to your left. Like an American driver.

Over a hundred years ago, Queen Victoria entertained an Asian foreign dignitary who was unfamiliar with Western extensive formal table service. The guest mistakenly drank from his finger bowl, completely understandable in his culture. Without a moment's hesitation, the Queen lifted & drank from her own finger bowl. (Slightly deeper than the fruit bowls I sell, usually 4" deep, usually presented with a new napkin, at the end of dessert.) The entire court followed her example. Nothing exhibits better the reason for etiquette and manners. They are not designed to censure anyone or to cramp their style but simply to create an atmosphere.
