 | On the opposite side of Fort Street from the challenging building pictured yesterday are some of the antique shops that gave this area its former name of "Antique Row." These are wonderful places to browse around in if you like beautiful things. I'm hooked on Chinese porcelain myself and I have a special fondness for imitation Satsuma such as in the illustration above (from my personal collection). You're more likely to find the real thing in shops such as those pictured to the left. Fellow Victoria blogger Mike Laplante yesterday posted an interesting link to a news article on changing trends in the antique business in this area. |

Your piece is absolutely beautiful. Very colorful and nicely painted.
That is an exquisite piece! Gorgeous! Thanks for the link to the article, I am looking forward to reading it. So it's not called Antique Row anymore?
Your piece is lovely! A keeper.
