This Thistle
Rolls off the tongue so wonderfully - THISTLE - which is probably part of the reason for buying this THISTLE with no rhyme or reason........ All 2 and a half feet of it
2 1/2 feet?! WOW. For some reason this photograph gives the impression of it being much smaller! However, I like it all the much more knowing how large it is! What was its use?
www.offthelist.co.uk is the result of years of voracious antique buying around the UK; no auction, dealership or junk shop (a favourite haunt) failed to keep a gem buried or kitsch ceramic unpurchased. Subsequently, the house began to bulge at its seems and my more formal selling outlets were never going to be suitable showrooms for the whimsy and delight of my ever expanding collection. The lady in my life, I discovered, began to dig into drawers and siphon off surfaces suitable trinkets for presents and through her unintended genius Off the List was born!
