Look at this rare and lovely prettiness: A porcelain enamel table top — New Old Stock — manufactured in August 1947 — painted with lovely brown scallops and green tulips over a creamy faux bois background. I don’t have the back story, but I do have permission to publish the photos of this marvelous ebay listing currently under way.
You will recall, I just recently published reader Robin’s genius idea to repurpose table tops like these as kitchen islands or whatnot.
Don’t think I didn’t contemplate keeping this find all to my evil grabby self, to use somehow in my office, where I am still assembling counter top areas.
Lucky for somebody else maybe, I am not in the spendy mood right now.
