~My Favorite Collection~ French Enamelware

Wanted to change things up a bit and show you my favorite collection.  I've been collecting  French Enamelware for over 15 years now.   Every time I walk into my kitchen I admire my collection.  Every piece was hand selected and most were sent from France individually!  I have tried to keep my collection to rose pieces, as most of you know how much I enjoy my garden.  Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy. 

I love French Enamelware mixed with rose water color paintings and French Toleware Trays.

I found this beautiful 4 piece RARE set at the Agoura Antique Mart in Agoura Hills Ca.


I have 10 of these beautiful utensil holders hanging in my kitchen as well....most have a beautiful rose detail and some of these date to the early 1900's!






 





One of my favortie sets is the Rose Garland pattern....RARE and very hard to find!  I also love the Rose Pansy collection.








I hope you have enjoyed peeking at my Favorite collection!  Have a beautiful day!  Linking to Cindy's Romantic Home Show and Tell Friday click here to view.

  1. Hi Kathee ... Thanks for sharing such a beautiful collection of enamelware. You have some very rare and unique pieces! I have a small collection of tole trays, some that are displayed in my livingroom. Anything with a floral motif helps bring the outdoors in!

  4. Your collection of French Enamelware is amazing... the Rose Garland is my favorite French Enamelware design EVER and yes, very rare. I had a chance once to pick up several pieces but the cost was not within my budget at the time *le sigh*... still regret not investing in those pieces though as I've never seen them for sale again. Thank you for sharing all your pieces, your extensive collection is one of the best I've ever seen outside of a magazine spread on the topic.

    Christmas Blessings... Dawn... The Bohemian
