Introducing 'Miss Victoria 2'. Miss Victoria is 22 inches tall and 12 inches wide at the bottom of her skirt. She is created out of Syracuse China pattern Victoria. You may recall that 'Miss Avalon' was also created out of Syracuse China. I really, really like their china. I did some research this past summer to find out about purchasing their china direct from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, Syracuse China was sold a few years ago and the patterns are no longer in production. When we vacation in Upstate NY, I do often times come across Syracuse China. Now I feel a little more guilty breaking this china, knowing that it is no longer being made!
The shape of this china is Federal, meaning that it has sort of a fluted edge with a gold rim. I hesitated to call her 'Miss Victoria 2' as I have already done a 'Miss Victoria', but since it was the name of the china pattern and it is also in pinks, as in the original 'Miss Victoria', it seemed appropriate. 
I love the rose detail on this piece, it is a beautiful, rich, deep pink. 'Miss Victoria 2' is heading over to E.S. Lawrence Gallery in Aspen later this week. 
Shelly,
ReplyDeleteI was the Senior Designer for Syracuse China when they closed. It makes me so happy to see you using the china in this creative way. Very cool!
