Strolling along the thrift, minding my own business and looking for treasures...wait! I never look at cups and saucers, but this one just captured my attention for a quick second. The style looked somewhat familiar...BAM! Vetriao likes this! Swooped it into my arms and quickly to the cashier. I was going to just mail it to V as a super surprise, but I am impatient. Plus the post office is looking like Mount Everest lately.
These are naval medals from the 60s if my quick research is correct. This particular pattern seem rather scarce but am by no ways a Fornasetti expert, V is... :00)))
it is stunning:)
Thank you Moon, Tony and the (now on limitation?) Sean!
V, I thought you really loved this designer...perhaps I was wrong and its just a one off that you enjoyed?
No way, he is amazing! I have been away with the pixies in Japan. Sorry!
"Al Merito"?
Demerit points perhaps?
I've never seen it before.
Very handsome!
I've been in a sauna all morning. The air-conditioner is not functioning properly and the technicians have been in about the heat control. I'm supposed to stay in while the whole thing happens downstairs but I am ready to get out! Hope you are all OK!
Oh Good, I would have hated to have mis-judged you so...:0)
Stay Cool...all good here.
NO LIMITS HERE SISTA:) it is just stunning and very very very beautiful:) I love it:)
Stunning colors!
"Al merito"... I guess it's the same in Italian, in Spanish when they give you a medal, no matter you win it for military or social causes, it is because of a "merito" you've made... a merit, a good action and so on. We say "le otorgaron la medalla al mérito civil" (is it right translatring it as "he was awarded the medal of Civil Merit "?
So a cup and saucer set with lots of medals on them does deserve this "Al merito" name.
Black nail polish??? Mmmm, this is a sophisticated lady we're dealing with! :)
You are so knowledgeable I know what I like & it is not just 1 thing it's all over the board but have little knowledge
Hi Austro, you are so funny. I was waiting to see if anyone would notice. Yes, had a wedding last weekend and went all fancy fingers. I quite like the black.
Great design! Nice find Amber!
Hi I think Queen Elizabeth was first woman to receive this award! The 2nd woman nominated was actually from Chicago!!! But did NOT receive award due to black nail polish!!?? HMMM?

Hey V, have you seen this in person yet?
Hi Amber. No not yet. I will let you know as soon as it arrives!
Hi Amber I just got back from seeing my parents and it was waiting for me at the concierge's desk. I cannot thank you enough! Just a beauty and the Woomph is great too!. I expect to post the other pack tomorrow. Will let you know.
Thanks again, Kev!
