Isn't this beautiful? I bought this on my all-day shopping spree with Glenda last Saturday. I think we hit about 10 stores at least. It was a shop-til-you-drop kind of day! I bought this at one of my favorite stores, Vintage and Vogue in downtown Campbell. I'm not really sure what it was used for but I'm serving up some rose buds right now! Haha! I'll be using it for preserves, cranberry sauce, condiments...just about anything that you could put in a small bowl and serve with a spoon! It was too pretty to leave behind! *****************************************
We've been having a heat wave here for the last few days. It was 94 degrees yesterday and it's supposed to be hot again today. It feels more like August than April!!! Luckily they are forecasting it to be 30 degrees cooler by Friday! Yay!
This could be used for so many things! I love it with the rosebuds. What a fab find~~

I am pretty sure it's a sugar bowl and not a relish tray. I would personally use it as a relish tray though.
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty :)
Very pretty! Great find! It sure looks like it was used as a sugar bowl maybe? I like it with the rosebuds. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I could see that in your bathroom, filled with bath salts. A spoonful per bath... lovely.
ReplyDeleteI would guess it's a sugar bowl of sorts. If it were a salt cellar, the spoon would be smaller. The stand of sorts, would allow it to be passed around the table.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using it for bath salts though.
Very pretty! I love that Vintage and Vogue shop. I think you should make that a regular feature. And she needs to have an on-line store!
Ooooh, how romantic and lovely. I agree, I could see it filled with bath salts also. What a great way to pamper yourself. Lucky you to find such a lovely piece.

It's a jam server -- our forefathers knew how to serve everything with style! The rosebuds, however, are perfect in it!
ReplyDeleteA lot o fabulous things in here! Love it~?! It's pretty.
ReplyDeleteErin <3
Love your little treasure! I would say it was made for jams. But, as you say use it for everything. Great find! I did a Flea market Sunday & got some vintage lace, buttons, & jewelry. Have a great week & thanks for sharing your finds
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, it's very pretty! Great find!
ReplyDelete~Patti
I like the way you put it to use, so pretty. In regard to your comment on my blog about photo booth, it's all in the lighting baby, haha. I will send you some of our cool breezes from southwest Ohio.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Charlene and Martha that it is a jam server. Weren't things done with such beauty "back when"? It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGM Cindy, I love your Jam and Jellie dish...Very pretty..I would use it for sugar with Ice tea..how great that would look..May you have a great day..and We also have been in the 90's here in the Calif mountains...And also I will tell you Don't use it for bath Salts..I did that with mine and the salt will pit the silver and ruin it..Been there done that..May you have a great day...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is either, except that it's gorgeous! Your uses for it sound good to me.
ReplyDeleteGosh! I can't imagine it being that hot yet. Weather is really getting crazy these days. ♥
I love seeing all your pretties! I'm glad you had a good shopping day!
ReplyDeleteIt is a jam server. I know this for a fact because my Grandmother had one and sadly I broke the crystal bowl..about broke my heart too...
ReplyDeleteJust a thought...I would not use it for bath salts...not that it is not a cute idea - but the humidity in the bathroom would cause the salts to expand and get sticky since they would not be enclosed.
It is a jam server!!! But it sure is pretty with rose buds in it.Love it!!! Blessings, Deborah
ReplyDeleteI agree, I really think it is a jam server. My grandmother had a similar one. Wish I knew where it was. It is absolutely gorgeous. Great find. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI recieved something almost identical for a wedding gift 30 years ago and have never used it for food just potpourri. I have never seen anything like it until now on your post.
ReplyDeleteLori
Hi Cindy! Could it be a berry bowl. The spoon looks like a berry spoon-wide and round so berries aren't squished and you get a good dollop to put on a dish or over a pudding or ice cream or some type of dessert. It is lovely. It is a marvelous purchase.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I can think of lots of ways to use it...sugar, mints, jams, relishes, bath salts, but I love your using rosebuds.
ReplyDeleteWHATEVER it is, it's GORGEOUS! LOL! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy. It is a jam server... With this day of repurpose it can be anything you would like it to be. Especially pretty for the eye.... Nice find....
ReplyDeleteCindy I think it was used for nuts and mints at weddings or showers. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is soo pretty! You always find the most unique things!
ReplyDeleteKarin
Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! I have got to go to V & V...i'm afraid that I will want to buy everythng I see!!! lol
OMG! It has been so HOT!!!! It was 94 degrees in San Francisco yesterday. I'm waiting for our 'natural' air conditioning! lol
Have a great day!
Debby
How pretty for a spring tea party! I'm envisioning lemon curd, scones and tea!
ReplyDeleteWe have one almost exactly like that one, inherited from my grandmother. I was told it's a jam/jelly server... I love reading all of the uses here, though. I might have to take mine out of the china cupboard and actually use it!!!
ReplyDeleteWell the spoon on it is a sugar spoon so I assume an open sugar bowl. Pretty!! But you could use it for anything really. Looks nice with the rose buds just for decore.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun all day shopping trip, I love those.
Linda
Oh my goodness Cindy I LOVE IT! I would use it when I have a tea party! What you wanted to use it for would be perfect to! Don't blame you, I couldn't have left it either! Great find and I love it to! I also love the rosebuds you have in it! lol
ReplyDeleteWell is has so many uses. But most of all it's Pretty.
ReplyDeleteCIao
Cindy - What memories come with this! I received one of these for a wedding gift from a 9-year old student of mine. I was teaching 4th grade and most of my students came to the wedding all dressed up in their finest! This is a relish/condinment dish, but I really like the way you think out of the box! I still have mine! These were popular in the 60's.
ReplyDeleteI usually know my antiques, but this one has me stumped. But I would it could be used for many many things.
ReplyDeleteI would have guessed a jam/preserve server. What ever it is, it is pretty. Sounds like you and Glenda had a fun day.
ReplyDeleteGlenda
Oh very pretty! I would have bought that too. It is a jam dish. No doubts. It would be darilng if you ever have a tea party or a breakfast/brunch.
ReplyDeleteI do like the little roses in there. Very sweet.
You two must of have a blast. Wish I could have gone with you two.
It's been hot down here in So Cal too. It was 100 yesterday. Not as hot today but still in the high 90's. YUCK! I hate it this hot. Sure hope it's not a sign of a long hot summer ahead.
Maybe we will get the hot days overwith and then have a nice mild summer.
Hugs,
Joanne
It's really pretty. I bought one years ago at Knotts Berry Farm and they were showing it used for jelly and jam. What a great find it is and how fun to go shopping till you drop.
ReplyDeleteGinger
Yeap! Jam Server it is!!!! However, the best part of this style we love so much is that today it can be anything you want it to be...even a "potpourri server"...LOL
ReplyDeleteI would love to find one of these. I think anything would look good, it is so lovely. Kathy
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what it is, but I want one. Great find. I love finding unusual items, or using vintage items in an unusual way.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteGreat find!! It's a Victorian Relish dish from the early 1900's.
Such a pretty piece!!!!
Laura~~
I agree, it is a jam server. Couldn't you just see fresh strawberry jam in there? How lovely? I love your blog and thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYep Cindy, its a jam server...very commonly used in Australia.. used to be that every table set put out bread and jam to fill up after meals, as often the meals were small and families were large. These days things have changed and its not the norm.. but I love some of the ideas your friends have come up with for its use. :) Marilyn (yes and I have one too lol)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!! My guess is that it's a jam/jelly dish.
ReplyDeleteI dont know what it is, but it sure is pretty! I love your ideas for using it, so no matter what ity realaly is, it will have a new life of usefulness:>)
ReplyDeleteHey girl...I don't know what it is but it sure is pretty! You can find the prettiest things! Thanks so much for coming by sweetie...I love coming by here and just ohhhhing and ahhhing at your pretties! I hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFunny you're talking about a heat wave and we want some warm weather up here.
Ivy
Ah, pretty things to take home! Gotta love that. I did the same thing this week. At the antique mall and the consignment store. Gotta stay home awhile now I guess if I want to eat.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
That is such a pretty piece!!
ReplyDeleteWe have been having a heatwave here too.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Rosemary
My mother had a jam server very much like this. I'd totally forgotten about it. I'll have to question my sister to see if she knows where it is. I'll bet it's in her china cabinet!:-) I can remember using it at Thanksgiving for Cranberry relish. Yours is really pretty. Great find!
ReplyDeleteCarol
I HAVE THIS!!! It's for relish, like cranberry, current, etc. and can also be used for jams with scones.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sher
Oh Cindy, you have fantastic taste, it's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteIs this a trick question??
ReplyDeletemaybe it is for mint jelly?
but I like it the way you have it :)
Cindy, I am sure you know this already, but it is a Jam dish. Very pretty! I love that you put the potpourri in it!!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, my mom has one of those pretty dishes and spoon. She uses hers for jelly most of the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh ! that's ok you can keep the heat out there ! *wink *
I have one from my wedding 38 years ago. I was told it was for jelly/jam but have used it for many things! Love your idea Cindy!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Maryjane
This is beautiful! Perfect for you! Good thing you found it before Eddie Ross did!
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting and lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy, this little cutie is
ReplyDeletewonderful. It is so YOU!! I
wouldn't have been able to leave
it behind either. I love the
flowers on it. It looks really
sweet with the rosebuds, too.
Becky
I couln't leave that behind either! So pretty and you can use it for so many things.
ReplyDeleteI really like the dish with the spoon attached, it is so pretty. Wishing you a Happy Earth Day.
ReplyDeleteIt is a jam caddy... Very Lovely...
