Then tragedy struck: My cat knocked it of the mantle and the heads smashed to smithereens. I would love to find someone skillful and patient enough to restore it. If anyone knows of someone who might be able to restore it, please let me know. Thanks so much.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852496638736859291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-88231781301430864442012-03-19T18:44:02.780-04:002012-03-19T18:44:02.780-04:00Hi Angela!

I did a post on the group of reenactors at the event a week ago. So lovely to meet you!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961174973796318673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-80947412765312697532012-03-15T17:52:23.212-04:002012-03-15T17:52:23.212-04:00Thank you for the info!

I just saw one of these teapots at the Cult of Beauty exhibit at the San Francisco Legion of Honor (and thought like you that it would be interesting to find one, which led me to your blog!). Went in costume with a group of friends who play the roles of various pre-Raphaelites at the Dickens fair in SF each year. You would enjoy the exhibit if you will be in SF in the next few months!Angela Elseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-57876304626226178622010-02-16T17:15:38.438-05:002010-02-16T17:15:38.438-05:00I've noticed just what you mean, Sphinxvictori...I've noticed just what you mean, Sphinxvictorian! So many of the books seem to focus on the parody response of the general public to the social movement, instead of the brilliance of the movement itself.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961174973796318673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-61230882656296557122010-02-16T17:15:37.994-05:002010-02-16T17:15:37.994-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961174973796318673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-18041051397480180512010-02-12T00:58:45.098-05:002010-02-12T00:58:45.098-05:00Lovely post, Grace!

Although as a latter-day Aesthete myself, I do sometimes balk at the treatment meted out to my predecessors. Though I do much enjoy Patience, I do find myself wishing they didn't have to poke fun at my dearly-held philosophy! <br /><br />I do find that many of the modern-day books about the movement seem unable to take it seriously, which I find very sad. Lionel Lambourne's book on the Movement, while beautifully illustrated, is really quite brutal in its nonchalant attitude about the ideals and philosophies of both Wilde and the other Aesthetes. <br /><br />So all this to say, thank you for taking a more balanced approach and I look forward to reading more of your blog posts on the subject! :)Sphinxvictorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449864683506664769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-58860751701368411072010-02-04T03:12:10.508-05:002010-02-04T03:12:10.508-05:00This movement increasingly fascinates me too.
