Some Treasures
previous / nextI have a collection of china tea sets consisting of a luncheon plate, teacup and saucer. Each set is different, no 2 are alike, although they are all probably best described as "country cottage floral". I also have a collection of assorted demitasse cups. I have only two pairs of demitasse cups that match, all the others are different. Most belonged to my mom, my paternal grandma, or my maternal grandma. I love these little sets, and this little demitasse cup and saucer is one of my favorites. It is more formal than the others and the only one in black. The little pewter pot is is one of 2 pewter pots I have, also inherited. This one is really tiny, only big enough for one cup. I have never actually used either of these treasures but I do really like them.
This was shot on a piece of black glass hence the pure black and slight reflection of the pot.

Beautiful objects and I like the way you frame them. The grey saucer has a beautiful shape.

Beautifully framed and lit. Love how the metallic pot works with the china cup and saucer. Perhaps it's the goldleaf that unites the two???
Will you share your lighting technique?
beautifully framed and composed shot!
Beautiful! I Like the chinese cup and the teapot as well. There's a nice game of light in this shot... My sensation is I'd like to be there to have a cup of tea with you!
Very nicely shot. I have a teapot that is nearly identical, with some extra ornamentation that I bought a market in Morocco about 10 years ago. The shooting on black glass works well.
the tea setts is marvelous and the composition is magnificent indeed.
Great composition with this beautiful tea sets.
@ Mindy...Thanks...This was shot inside of my light tent. You can see what it looks like here.
That was not the exact set up for this shot but I think you can get the idea. For this shot I did not use the top light. I only used the 2 lights to the sides. I used black paper and a piece of black glass instead of the white paper seen in the example.

It's a beautiful photo of a lovely little set. How do you keep from using this every day? What a delight!
This set makes a wonderful still life shot. I especially like the metallic look of the pewter pot. The detail in the teacups is beautifully captured. An unusually fine post!
very formal indeed...like the way this shot is constructed.
Instant magique !
Toutes mes félicitations.
that's a pretty elaborate collection of glasswares & stuffs (sorry, don't know what they're generally called :D ) you have there.. i bet you & my mother would get along just fine.. :D
i like how you filled the frame here.. and thanks for sharing the black glass 'tip'.. :) nice work..
Great composition with perfect black background. Looks like a wonderful china set.
A superb rendering of contents. A nice image.
Nice composition...lovely tea set !
Beautiful compositions, I enjoyed browsing through your archives.
We can see you are putting the studio to good use. Excellent still life. Black glass was a good idea.
What a gorgeous teapot! ... I love it.. :)
Wowww..
Great composition with this beautiful tea sets Laurie.
Very nice shot

Cool reflection
Charming. The black background is perfect for showing these off
Very nice still life shot. I really like the reflection in the gold at the bottom of the cup. Also like the rich quality added by the ageless patina of the pewter teapot.
Wow what a beautiful tea set! Makes for an amazing still life! Nice work.
Beautiful set and pot. I have inherited some cups and saucers from my Mother in Law too. I love the delicate design and colors.
The china here really rocks. Great captures on these gems.
I see that you use a macro lens for this? Very good depth of field there :)
Very nice still-life photograph. Cool detailed pattern in that cup!
Beautiful objects composition !!
Nice composition, even if I think the angle is a little too steep, and the crop a little tight.
Hi Laurie
Wonderful composition and very nice presentation!
Regards
wow, i love the contrast of the plain kettle next to all the colors
