Can you sense the air of spring? A warm, mild evening out, everbody sitting under the pale-blue sky which turnes purple in the west. You can see the reflection of the sky in the windows. We deserve this!The people who parked their bikes visited the opening-event of the summer-season in the Vienna Museum's-Quarter.
Pale blue is this cup:
I got it as a gift from a very friendly Australian couple. It is "mud". Touching this tiny cup I immediately wanted a whole set for eating, drinking and serving. With shipping it would cost $$$. Mr Paula says it is no fun using high-end porcelain because he would feel bad the moment he breaks or chips them due to careless handling.
To the readers from AUS: (going bold for the first time ;-)) Have you ever dined from mud-porcelain? Did you like it? Is it really as dish-washer-save as they say? Does it still look good in a while, when the non-glazed-outside turns "greasy"?
There are various porcelains available, Made in Austria. This one actually isn't porcelain but "earthenware": Gmundner Ceramics.
They are known for the green-striped-design. Very common in the country-side where Gugelhupf and Apfelstrudel is served in the afternoon. This year they chose the deer. Jumping around.
Gorgeous shot of the building and reflected sky!
ReplyDeleteAfter a week of torrential rains and chilly temperatures, we had the same type of day here too and you summed up my entitled thoughts: "We deserve this!"
I dragged Mr Vix out to a big-windowed cafe for a pre-dinner coffee (oh that it had been a cocktail) just because it was too beautiful to sit in the house.
Enjoy your blue sky....
