Page 2 of 51 Change Date/Time Display Delete Specific Messages Delete Entire Topic I have also called mine Art Deco - I have to read a little about the difference between Art Nouveau and Art Deco... Debi - I love "our salts" - and they are still some of the salts not identified? 4 10:44 AM ET Art Deco with touches of Nouveau 5 10:47 AM ET To me, Deco is all sharp lines and squares, triangles and other shapes. Nouveau is more flowing lines. I think Nouveau came before Deco. 6 01:28 PM ET Nancy - I have been reading - and you are right Art Nouveau until 1910 and Deco after, but?.?.? My "blue Olga" - I would say Art Nouveau - but I have written it's from 1920, so...confuced can't really find anything but "blue Olga for sale" no informations.... NB - this salt I had been looking for in about 15-20 years before a friend of mine found it to me 7 Nancy Villaverde 02:50 PM ET 97.99.220.53
Page 3 of 51 Royal Doulton, Elaine Cooper's art nouveau page shows this one. 8 04:05 PM ET These are some Deco images. My favorite deco building in NYC is the Chrysler building. 9 04:05 PM ET 10 04:13 PM ET This pair of Royal Doulton I would consider Art Nouveau. Nouveau style uses more flowing lines derived from natural forms such as plants & flowers. I think most of old Tiffany is considered Nouveau. 11 04:57 PM ET 12 Nancy Villaverde 05:27 PM ET And my French treasures? I have said 1920 - but aren't they Art Nouveau? AND I should say about 1900 instead? Nancy D - Chrysler also one of my favorites Debi, I love that pair whenever I see your photos. I hadn't thought of my salt with the flower band as art nouveau until I say it listed as such in Elaine's book.
97.99.220.53 13 05:44 PM ET Nancy V: Stylized tulips always seem to be labeled as Art Nouveau. And I love Tulips. : I guess your pair would come under personal interpretation of a style. I don't think you can always correctly date something by the decoration. It would be dated better according to the salt shape and the brass rims and when they were made. Page 4 of 51 14 05:48 PM ET This is classic Art Nouveau to me. 15 Nancy Villaverde 05:51 PM ET 97.99.220.53 I hadn't given it thought before, but my "personal interpretation" says this Royal Crown Derby salt pig is art nouveau. I have three of these with different patterns, but this one is most likely to fit this topic. 16 06:27 PM ET 17 06:38 PM ET I think this one is classic Art Deco. Geometric and sharp lines.
Page 5 of 51 Deco 18 06:39 PM ET 19 07:01 PM ET 20 07:42 PM ET 50.149.9.1 So exciting....and again salts I have never seen before This I would call Art Deco...- and when I look at the age it say 1905... so Bedtime for me... I'm in love with your Deco salt,. Never saw one like it! Neat salts already! 21 09:31 PM ET 22 09:32 PM ET Here's a Blue Willow double made in France.
Page 6 of 51 Mark on the double. 23 09:35 PM ET 24 09:36 PM ET This is the one I recently posted on the main board. Blue Willow marked "Edge, Malkin & Co." Edited 10:13 PM Another view to show the shape. 25 09:38 PM ET This Blue Willow master has a lot of detail. 26 09:40 PM ET 27 Different view shows pattern is also inside and on base.
09:41 PM ET Page 7 of 51 This master has a lot of Blue Willow pattern on it too... 28 09:42 PM ET Including the inside. 29 10:06 PM ET This individual is marked "Cranston" and was from Miss Cranston's Tea Room. Here's a link: http://www.scotiana.com/teatime-at-miss-cr...earooms-in-glasgow/ 30 10:07 PM ET Another Cranston 31 10:10 PM ET 32 10:11 PM ET One of the two Blue Willow condiment sets I have.
Page 8 of 51 Mark on the bottom of the plate. 33 10:12 PM ET This set is unmarked. 34 11-02-2016 02:24 AM ET Debi - you "gave me" the Blue Willow name. Here in Denmark it's not seen often - "and until you" - mine two were called "china with blue decorations" See you have both from France and England - mine are not market 35 11-02-2016 03:16 AM ET There's an endless selection of different Blue Willow designs but they usually have a bridge, two people crossing it, and two birds. There's a legend to go with it. I'll see if I can find it. There's also the type that only uses Blue Willow borders like my #21 and this one. 36
11-02-2016 03:19 AM ET Page 9 of 51 Here's a small oval one with just the border pattern. 37 11-02-2016 03:21 AM ET This oval one is a bit larger. It may have used as something else because of the dark brown stain inside. But it does have a full Blue Willow design. 38 11-02-2016 03:24 AM ET A Carlton Ware salt that might have been part of a condiment set. 39 11-02-2016 03:25 AM ET Carlton Ware mark. 40 11-02-2016 03:28 AM ET 41 11-02-2016 03:29 AM ET Taylor Tunnicliffe & Co. bucket salt
Page 10 of 51 42 11-02-2016 03:31 AM ET Mark on bucket I think just about wraps up my Blue Willow salts. I have many more in the Blue Onion design than Blue Willow. Will get those posted through the rest of the month. 44 Judy in Texas 11-02-2016 08:02 AM ET 68.94.15.71 Meissen Blue Onion Double 45 Judy in Texas 11-02-2016 08:04 AM ET 68.94.15.71 Meissen Blue Onion -- Mark on bottom of double 46 Judy in Texas 11-02-2016 08:05 AM ET 68.94.15.71 47 Judy in Texas 11-02-2016 08:06 AM ET 68.94.15.71 Meissen Blue Onion Leaf-Shaped
Page 11 of 51 Meissen Blue Onion Leaf-Shaped bottom 48 11-02-2016 10:01 AM ET I have very little in blue willow/blue onion category. This is my leaf like Judy's. Perhaps slight difference in pattern or painting. 49 11-02-2016 10:06 AM ET A double 50 Nancy Villaverde 11-02-2016 01:52 PM ET 97.99.220.53 Pattern much like your #37, Debi. I knew you would have some lovely examples on these blue & white pieces. There is a solution that you can soak an old crazed discolored china piece in without much if any damage, but I haven't used it for a long time and am unsure what it is. Not bleach, which will weaken the china. Peroxide I think. 51 Nancy Villaverde 11-02-2016 02:00 PM ET 97.99.220.53

Blurry blue image. Judy, I had one shaped and pressed like your #47 but with multi-color instead of all blue. It was a bit too large to be a salt. http://www.neatorama.com/2007/03/20/whats-...eco-vs-art-nouveau/ this is the difference between art deco vs art neuveau in a short article Linda H. Great site for explanation of the two art disciplines. Thanks.

It could be seen when I started looking and now it's gone... : I think your #57 blue and white is just blue and white I don't see any Blue "Onion" or leaves in it. None of the Royal Copenhagen is Blue Onion either. Looks like the only way I can get one of the legends posted is to copy it. Long ago in China, there lived a very wealthy mandarin. He had a beautiful daughter named Koong Shee. The beautiful, young girl was the promised bride of Ta-Jin, a very old but wealthy merchant. The young girl however, fell in love with her father's secretary, a young man named Chang. Koong Shee and Chang would meet in secret beneath a large Willow tree and dream of their future together. Koong Shee was of noble descent and Chang was a mere commoner. So the young couple, no matter how great their love, would never be allowed to wed. When the girl's father found out about their secret meetings, he was furious. He banished Chang and forbade his daughter from ever seeing Chang again. Koong Shee would sit beneath the Willow tree that had once been a place of joy and would quietly weep. Her heart was filled with pain. Not only had she lost Chang but Ta-Jin was a wicked man and a very difficult person to please. Koong Shee longed to see her handsome, young Chang and her thoughts would fill with the happiness they shared while sitting in this very same spot together. As the day of the wedding drew near, Chang returned. He sent a message with Koong Shee's maid to meet him by the Willow tree. As Chang approached, he saw his beautiful Koong Shee sitting beneath the tree. Chang rushed to her side and once more held Koong Shee in his arms. They were so very much in love and did not want to be separated ever again. Chang and Koong Shee finally decided to elope and get married without her fathers permission. As they were starting to leave together, Koong Shee's father saw them and chased after the pair. The young couple raced across the bridge to a waiting boat and sailed away. A storm developed and the boat sank at sea. Suddenly from out of the storm flew two snow white doves. Seeing the young couple's love for one another, the gods transformed Koong Shee and Chang into two beautiful white doves. These two doves have lived on forever and can still be seen today flying high above the Willow Tree where Koong Shee and Chang first pledged their love.

Debi, thanks for posting the information. I think the link came down because of a pop up ad that appeared when clicking on your link. I tried it a few times & every time the ad obscured the info & was difficult to get rid of. The link worked for me, but it's gone now. Thanks for posting the story again. I hadn't seen it in years. That was a new story to me. Thanks, Debi. 65 Linda H 11-03-2016 02:04 PM ET 70.198.38.189 66 Linda H 11-03-2016 02:06 PM ET 70.198.38.189 This one might be considered art Deco

04:33 PM ET Page 16 of 51 Thanks for adding the text Debi...and very sorry to hear about your loss Think my salt is Art Nouveau (know I love it ) 72 11-03-2016 04:36 PM ET The Just Andersen here - it's really difficult for me - the age say Art Deco - I feel Art Nouveau? 73 11-03-2016 04:37 PM ET 74 11-03-2016 05:33 PM ET 75 11-03-2016 05:34 PM ET Art Deco When I went to copy the Blue Willow legend text, there was a popup and I know I couldn't have accidently clicked on anything so it's probably best that it is gone. Seeing all these different Deco and Nouveau styles has opened my eyes. I wouldn't have thought of the whale tail as Art Deco style it really is. I have a pair.
Page 17 of 51 My whale tails 76 11-03-2016 05:43 PM ET Debi - I try to open my eyes - but I'm still very confuced Salt: Art Deco 77 11-03-2016 05:48 PM ET And - Art Nouveau Nancy D - do you agree? Is your also Art Nouveau? 78 11-03-2016 06:49 PM ET 79 11-03-2016 06:59 PM ET Yes, I agree. Your blue opaline in the acorn holder would qualify, also. Things with flowing lines and natural elements belong with Nouveau. I think when the change came for Nouveau to Deco, many artists took the elements they liked best and put both in their art. That's why some of the art is difficult to pinpoint. Just my opinion, though, I'm no art student.
Page 18 of 51 80 11-04-2016 07:00 AM ET I think of Nouveau art as more romantic. This is my blue opaline similar to s. Oh Nancy - I love your #79 - tried to get one similar yesterday - but I didn't succeed - so when/if you once want to sell it I would love to buy it... And I feel the same way as you about Nouveau and Deco - Just Andersen gives me problems - the age is Deco, but some are in my opinion Nouveau and some are both - when I get time I'll try to take a picture with "my problems" 81 11-04-2016 12:52 PM ET 82 11-04-2016 02:21 PM ET 50.149.9.1 Intaglio Art Deco A blue one!

I never saw one with silver overlay. It was a first for me too Jane - Would the Egyptian Revival pieces fall in with either of these Art styles?? Wrong, Mary, he's art ducko. Oh my Nancy - Do not travel too far from the pond - lol lol lol Lolololol, I like the name Art Ducko. Makes him special. He is pretty too. Good one, Nancy V. Made me chuckle. This is a basic Blue Onion design. I hope some of you have some Blue Onion salts. I discovered hardly any of mine have pictures taken already. So I'd
concentrate on the ones not already shown bit's still going to be a big picture taking effort! Page 21 of 51 97 Nancy Villaverde 11-07-2016 03:56 PM ET 97.99.220.53 98 11-07-2016 05:15 PM ET Just got a new (to me) Moser artistic glass book and read about their production of art nouveau and art deco pieces. This is a salt of mine that shows art nouveau enameling. It's one of my favorites. I've chosen an angle that shows the enameling well. It's pedestal style with a clear stem and foot Oh, "V", that is breathtaking. Love the color, so delicate. 99 Nancy Villaverde 11-07-2016 06:30 PM ET 97.99.220.53 100 Lynda LaLonde 11-08-2016 09:51 AM ET 73.211.165.235 101 Lynda LaLonde 11-09-2016 09:33 AM ET 73.211.165.235? Art deco 103 Lynda LaLonde 11-09-2016 Thanks, D, I like green and this is one of my favorites. The green shades slowly to clear near the bottom of the bowl, a technique Moser perfected. Here's a side view. I don't have the matching under plate as I do with the same shape in cranberry, but the pattern on that one isn't exactly art Nouveau. Nancy, this one brings tears to my eyes. Such beauty. I love it...alot.

I hadn't thought of either as Art Deco but they do seem to fit in. I would like to find the blue monkey some day! Thanks for showing the toad, Debi. I didn't know there was one.

LOL.. you know how monkey's can be... I love those and have never had any of them. At least I get to see pictures! I thought there was a third one of this type. Forgot it was a sailor. How cute! I didn't know these existed in transparent colors like PJ's frog. I thought they were all frosted. I don't know that I ever saw one that wasn't frosted. Well everyone certainly has been busy on this side of the board -- Very nice to the eyes!!!
Page 24 of 51 115 11-11-2016 12:05 PM ET Art Deco - 3 piece set - The salt was one of the original from my grandmother - Finally found the pepper and mustard - Now need a carrier/base 116 11-11-2016 12:10 PM ET 117 11-11-2016 12:14 PM ET 118 11-11-2016 12:51 PM ET J.

I never realized how much Deco I had until I began to go through my photos. I don't think I could follow those, Mary and Nancy D. Beautiful, simply beautiful. I've been finding a lot, too. Now I just need my photographer! Oh yeah, Nancy D. That double is deco in spades. 124 11-13-2016 12:15 AM ET 125 11-13-2016 07:33 AM ET 126 11-13-2016 So exciting to see your beauties and for me it's really nice to read your comments - what is what.. Just Andersen, Denmark started about 1920 - he should bee a Deco - I think he is both - so I buy Nancy D'S comment "some are taking things from Nouveau"... The two in front I would call Nouveau - the three behind both and the other Deco????? Marvelous collection - I do not think I have even one of his pieces - Must correct that - lol I don't have any, either. They are neat! Many makers worked in both styles, even at the same time. I guess it was sort of a transition thing.
09:39 AM ET 50.149.9.1 127 11-13-2016 06:17 PM ET, nice to see your Andersen salts. I don't have any but I like them. I agree there are elements of both Art styles in them. Lovely.

Salt: Art Nouveau - "china in silver" Very classic look on the silver over china,. 197 11-20-2016 03:39 AM ET 198 Lynda LaLonde 11-21-2016 10:21 AM ET 73.211.165.235 199 Thanks Nancy - a china I do love.. Salt: Blue Onion Marvelously beautiful salts. I haven't tried the "tinfoil baking soda trick" so I still hate silver. Mary, I have a box of silver for you. It is in my hundreds of boxes packed...somewhere. Little girls helping, moved it with other boxes. Bless their sweet little pointed heads. Love you.
Nancy Villaverde 11-21-2016 11:40 AM ET 97.99.220.53 200 11-21-2016 06:19 PM ET Be careful with polishing methods with silver plate. Some of them strip silver off and can wear through thin plating. I've heard that the ones that call for immersing pieces in a solution take away the top surface of the silver. After posting this I googled silver polishing methods, and one site approved the way using aluminum foil claiming that it was safe for silver plate. It did say that immersing silver in liquid tarnish removers removes a layer of silver. Some of this is a reason I don't collect silver salts. Edited 11-21-2016 06:04 PM Thanks for the heads up Lynda and I appreciate the incoming -- I do love to see the beauty of the silver emerge when I clean it - Have not been a good silver mother lately - but hope to be able to get back into it - My shelves look like no one cares about shiny -- Have always been leery of the soaking method - I guess I also appreciate the fact that I - me - personally made them beautiful again -- Page 41 of 51 201 11-22-2016 03:59 PM ET Art Deco 202 11-22-2016 04:00 PM ET Art Deco - cut to clear 203 11-22-2016 04:01 PM ET 204 11-22-2016 Soft Art Deco The red pair - well they are just simply spectacular!!

But I do love the blue sets, too. If it's a beauty contest, I vote for the red one. I don't just "vote" for the Red one, I WANT it!! I can't understand why anyone would need more than ONE of EACH Salt(if I kept two of each one, I'd have over 20,000!! The "little "buggers" are about to "run us out" NOW!)Take care ALL! Don Page 42 of 51 208 11-23-2016 12:12 PM ET Don - normaly I don t need more than one - but my "petit" French ones have to be in pairs. And Don you are "fit" again?

I don't believe in pairs either and this was one of a pair. The cut to clear design is a bit different but it's the same type salt. I can email you more pictures. Has a spoon too. Pairs, Pairs, pairs, tra laa laa. Oh, excuse me! LOL!!! Debi, I'm VERY SERIOUS! With all these salts, I don't have a Ruby cut to clear with silver rim, in any design!

Page 44 of 51 216 11-26-2016 12:12 PM ET I love your wood and silver salts. This one is just wood with brass nubs but definitely a Deco look. Everyone's salts are spectacular. And such diversity! PS: The red salt is on its way to Don. 217 11-26-2016 12:14 PM ET I spotted this picture while looking for the wood salt. Another Deco looking salt. This one is black soapstone with carving. 218 11-26-2016 02:25 PM ET 219 11-26-2016 03:13 PM ET This is my Deco wood salt similar to Debi's., love both your Deco & Nouveau salts. So beautiful.

Thanks for all the blue onion doubles, Debi. I've had various salts in that pattern, but when I searched I found I haven't kept any. they probably went when I decided to go with glass rather than china.
Page 48 of 51 Thanks Nancy V. Obviously with my blue and white obsession I have a lot of Blue Onion pattern salts. I call this one Blue Onion too but the pattern is not as pronounced. It's an old Minton double. 234 11-29-2016 02:25 PM ET The mark is hard to see with the naked eye. 235 11-29-2016 02:28 PM ET This one is the same shape but it's Copeland. 236 11-29-2016 02:29 PM ET Copeland mark 237 11-29-2016 03:10 PM ET 239 This is the majority of my Blue Onion salts.

I like the ones that clearly have an onion on them, shows where the pattern got its name. The patterns without the onion shape are sometimes more graceful however. Many moons ago I wrote an article on blue and white china. There was something about the onion being a mistake when the design was "borrowed" from the Chinese. Their décor was actually a pomegranate. I'd have to read it again to get it straight. 242 11-29-2016 06:43 PM ET Love all your blue & white, Debi. Unfortunately I'm lacking in that area. Here is the 10th Convention salt. Very Art Deco. 243 11-29-2016 06:47 PM ET 244 11-29-2016 06:52 PM ET 3rd Convention salt. Art Nouveau

Both Art Nouveau This has been an enlightening and educational month. Lots of Art Deco and Art Nouveau inspired salts. In December the topic will be Transferware Salts. I think they are mostly English and most might be masters, but there's a lot of others. December may be a busy month for most of you so this will probably be a pretty limited topic but it's one we have never done. The onion on those salts does look more like a pomegranate, Debi. It's so stylized that I hadn't given it a thought. The article link didn't work for me. My

Nancy V: It's in Word Document form so maybe not your Mac's fault. I converted it to PDF, so try this link: http://opensalts.us/other/blue.pdf I forgot about changing the topic until just now but I'm dead tired so it'll be changed tomorrow. Thanks for the help to a Mac user, Debi. I can't open Word but PDF works. Great article and wonderful pictures. So much variety in blue and white. No wonder you never tired of it.
