(http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee101/rosemarycallsthegoddess/kitchen003.jpg)
i LOVE her! peter got her in an oxfam shop - we'd seen a similar one for sale on ebay but the postage was alot (understandable with something so fragile) and then when he went to england he found this :D
ooh and i made the little garlic pot that's next to her :D
-
What a lovely chooky dish Rosemary :D Is the garlic dish made of pottery, do you go to classes :?:
-
I just love that. I collect chicken nic-nacs, and that sure is nice. Is there a name or number on the bottom? It looks old. If not it is a nice piece anyhow. :D
-
I was given a beautiful leaded glass cockerel made by my neighbour a couple of days ago. As soon as the sun shines I'll post a picture of it.
Can we change the name of this Topic to "Chicken Memorabilia" Rose then we can all add our 'chickeny stuff' pictures to it :idea: :D
-
good idea aunty, can you do that? :shock:
-
This is my favorite chickeny thing. She's called 'Charlie Chicken' :D

Have have alot of old things, salt&pepper shakers, canister sets, clocks, very old cookies jars,x-mas tree ornaments,old egg cartons from the 20's,chicken candlers from the 30's, I'll take pics of things after x-mas getting a dig. camra, the one I have is broke. Everything I have is early 60's or later. oh except for a salt & pepper set I bought from Tiffany's in New Yourk City, $80.00, but it goes up in value every so many years.
-
Ahhh, you all have very nice things. I like the wooden one made by hand. Kinda what we call Folk Art. Very nice. I am going to enjoy this topic.
-
Not boring, not sad, ...... They are all great :D
-
oh your hen on a basket is like my mums!
the wooden rooster is gorgeous, does that man do that as a hobby?
love the design on the towels! - very cute :D
-
My mum had one of those brown chicken things (egg container) when I was a kid. Don't know what happened to it.
Rather like the wood Rooster.
-
i had my beady eye on my mum's one until peter got me our one :oops:
my mum has had hers for as long as i can remember, though the beak is a little bit chipped.
-
this is so cute i,ve loved this for years.

takes a while to load but lovely
-
those are really nice. No markings on them? I don't care for ducks, but I like the blue print. Not sure what design it is though. You have some interesting things. I like the painting on the metal one also. Very nice
-
Not quite chicken, but this turkey platter & six plates come out every year. Bought by my late father for my mother 57 years ago. 'Barnyard King' pattern. Currently $42 a plate on ebay.
(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c182/G4IAR/BarnyardKing.jpg)
-
Oooh, I love the turkey plates DD.
And I've got one of those little metal roosters Rosemary! An old friend bought him back from Italy for me years ago!
-
Found the platter for $300!
-
They are beautiful plates - does the design originate from the States? I haven't seen anything like it before :D

Don't know where the design originated, but the plates etc. were made in England by the Johnson Brothers..

That is the most beautiful serving plate I have ever seen. You are very lucky to own that. I'm sure it's worth a pretty penny. Very nice. Thank you for sharing it. I'm going to see if I can find a value on it in the states. I'm not sure how old it is, or if there are any markings on it. Could you let me know? Also, how many pieces do you have?

There are 6 plates, one serving platter. Price vary, but have seen the plates listed at $42 each & the platter at round $300.
Pattern is 'Barnyard King' from the Johnson Brothers, made in England, purchased about 55-56 yrs ago by my father. (Slight amended to previous - he apparantly bought it for my mother when she was expecting me!)

My husband bought me this (http://www.emmabridgewater.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=SILH176&cid=POTBTM&language=en-GB)chicken for Christmas this year. I have been collecting Bridgewater pottery for a good few years now and had always wanted one of these chickens as I remember my grandmother keeping eggs in a china hen. However I always thought they were out of my price range.
I tried to bid on a chicken like this on ebay but lost the bid because it went over what i was willing to pay for it (nearly the same price as at the pottery). So my hubby surprised me and bought me one for Christmas.
I know Emma Bridgewater has a smallholding and keeps chcikens and I think the design might be based on an actual breed. Any idea?

I love the little yellow chicks Jaye :D

I love the little yellow chicks Jaye :D
:lol: I hadn't noticed the one hiding at the back, it's soooo cute!!
-
hehe yes they are cute. It always makes me smile. There are a number of "chicken related" Bridgewater pieces. Not necessarily all new stuff though - for example one of the old china patterns was "egg and feather".

We used to have a brown one sat on the table when we were kids - we used to put our board in it, just like the Boswells on "Bread"!
Wonder what happened to it.....
-
Ooooh I collect chickeny bits and bobs too. I've got loads of things,I'll have to take photographs. I'm just made up there are other people who love this stuff too. I've got the same trivet Rosemary, in yellow. My favourite things are the ones I find in car boot sales and charity shops but my OH has bought me some lovely new bits too.
I think my favourite item is a little hen like the ones shown already except very small and when you life up her top half there are two little eggs which are for salt and pepper. Bought that off a lady at a boot sale where she said she had bought it for her mum 30 years ago. Aw thought that was nice. Told her it was going to spend it's new life being admired on my dresser.
The thing I most wish I could have bought were a set of four tiny chicken paintings in very ornate frames...just couldn't afford them at the time - £120 - because of the frames. They are the ones that got away :( Wonder who bought them and I hope they wanted the pictures not just the frames.
My MiL has also got into buying me chicken things...I got a cockerel tiffany style lamp for my birthday,a cockerel and hen for the garden another time ,a copper cockerel shaped dish thing..forgotten what you call them when she saw it in a charity shop and for Christmas another chook pair which are sitting looking at me right now.
Ooh my first proper post ! :lol:
-
We'll look forward to seeing some pictures of your collection Earwen :D

I got a pair of egg cups, a plate and a tray. Great fun! :)

I want a chicken inspired hanging for my new gate to the hen run. I've been looking all over the place but might do a stencil instead. Not sure yet
years ago I bought one of those hen egg keepers. It's one of the brown ones but I love it and it lives on the mantlepiece above my kitchen range. Knew it would come in handy one day :D I got it from a charity shop in Helensburgh when I was up there visiting relatives. Seen some hen gifts today on a web site from a blog somewhere on here. Can't recall whose it was, sorry :oops: There are some beauties on that one :D
-
oooooo can feel a splurge coming on the credit card now i ve been looking at that web site for chicken gifts.......OH will prolly tell me i have too much already tho got salt n pepper hen set, chickens like the flying ducks 4 on the wall, chicken money box, chicken mugs x2 with lids 1 with out, egg shaped candles, rooster orni in garden to name a few lol.
-
Aww thanks for that :D
-
Look what I found in the charity shop the other day!!! I think its the cutest egg cup ever :D and I bought one of those chicken egg holders today! not so cheep at £20 :shock: and its a bit small, When all my gilrs are laying it will only hold 2 days worth :shock: but it looks lovely on my window sill :lol:

In fact its a favourite word of the chicken chat users.
-
Hah THink I have sorted out the posting picture prob. Thanks for your help.
Here is Ducky - she looks after all my hen eggs - and she has been working overtime since we got the girls 28 days ago. She was my first ducky thing and I have never seen another like her. I bought her in Cornwall (St Ives) about 18 years ago and only now an I using her.
I love her to bits.
-
And here is my favorate hen - she is called Henrietta and she sits on my window sill watching the real girls outside. When the light catches her she sparkles a little. Saw her in the shop, loved her and just had to buy her.
So pleased I have got this picture posting thing sorted out - feel very pleased with myself!
-
Before anyone says, I know Ducky (as pictured above) is a male Mallard, and I refer to him as she - in my world Ducky is a she. :lol:

-

-
Thought I'd share my discovery of chicken magnets. Just bumped into them on ebay under "chicken fridge magnets". An artist called Philip Knaggs has done a series of 32 chickens and lots of others including ducks. I really liked his style and bought 13 (!) but 3 were free.They're only printed on card and laminated but the magnets are good and strong. He's really friendly if you contact him too.....
I'm thinking of getting him to quote for painting my girls from a photo! :wacko: I've really got this chicken bug bad.....

Lord knows what her friends will think when they see it. I guess you're like me tho, cake is cake, who cares what it looks like!! nom nom

I love a pretty cake - not keen on chocolate ones for some odd reason. As long as there's a cup of tea to go with it I'm happy.
So, sorry all MY fault (someone mentioned cake)
