Too heart {hard} to handle:

Just a bit of fun. Ceramic handles on copper vessels in juxtapositions with some hearts. The quirky shapes with the intriguing little blue painted, stylised flowers was the actual draw cards of these items. Whenever things get too hard to handle place a" heart" and take a new look.

Detail of a handle from a kettle.

The wood carrier which must have been for coal due to the very deep round basin and wide spout. Love the little lion feature that connects the handle to copper- pot

Love the extended handles on this little copper bowl and I use this a lot for floating candles. Somewhat strangley cosy for our heat at the moment, must be all the snow images .
