My glass collection

I love old things, like this collection of glass carafes that I placed on an antique mirror tray in the dining room.

Some are torn here and there, but I use them anyhow, when I decant wine for example.

Old things

I just love old things, like these lovely plates, just staying there on a shelf. Not really dishwasher friendly but what the h-ck!

I go to flea markets and antique shops regulary, do not buy things to often, but I like to watch and make a great bargain when I can.

Here is something I actually have in my possession, a jug in ceramic, by Stig Lindberg in his design-series Berså. I got this one after my late mother, as a child I used it daily, now it's an antique to save.

Liquor made of sloe

As some of you maybe remember, this autumn I was out in the forrest to pick some sloe. Than I put them in a jar with some Absolut vodka and waited until now, three months.

I then added some sugar and poured it in this antique glass decanter - perfect for Christmas.

And here you have the sloe bush outside, before they got picked...

Door handle

Is this beautiful or what, an antique door handle that you can find on a old door at a house here in Sweden. The house itself is from around 1760.

But the door knob is more recent, shaped like an fantasy animal of some kind.

Old glass decanters

I have a small collection of antique glass decanters. I think they are so beautiful that they deserve to stay in the open, not hidden away in a cupboard.

As you can see I placed most of them on a antique tray made om mirror glass. I use them too, for decanting wine and to serve water in at nicer dinner parties.
