...Ironstone dairy slabs.
You know I love em {authentic and reproductions} and I especially love it when I spot them in homes for sale, in design pics, antique stores, and of course on my favorite blogs.
I love to see the different ways people use them in their homes.

Now what to do with my new square 'Pure Butter' reproduction?
**Purchased at antiques on Old Plank {here}**
My reproduction cheese platter was a Christmas gift.
**Purchased from Joanne Hudson online {here}**
My antique 'Margarine' slab is one of my prized pieces, I ♥ it!
**Purchased at Carol Gibbins antiques in Houston, TX {here}**
Any other ideas on how to use or display dairy slabs?

ReplyDeleteT~ You are so precious! Thank you for this post!!! As I mentioned earlier....I've been walking around my kitchen with mine not sure what to do with it. However, I think {thanks to you!!!} I've decided to place it on my island with a plant.....I'm thinking rosemary or maybe even pile it with pumpkins and gourds for the fall....
ReplyDeleteHi Koralee- The pure butter dish came from Antiques on Old Plank Road or www.oldplank.com. I added the link to my original post about it so if you click on 'pure butter' it will take you to my original post which has the link to the website. It was only $49 (but a whopping $60 to ship) and their customer service is incredible!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love these pics! So many ideas. My poor 'Pure Butter' is sitting in its box waiting until we move. I cannot wait until he is settled in his new kitchen!

ReplyDeletei have just recently learned about these ironstone slabs via blogs like yours! I think I need one in our kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to let you know how beautiful it is. I have been enjoying reading your posts and looking at all the gorgeous photos! Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHI T-
ReplyDeleteI love the Butter and Margarine slabs. I originally saw them on the show the osbournes, and fell in love with it. I then saw them on your site, and fell in love even more. Have you thought about stacking cookbooks different ways and covering with a glass dome/cloche? Just an idea. Thanks for all your inspiration!
