We really ...We do have a lot of china don't we? We really ought to have a rococo porcelain tea house to store it all in, or a pagoda with little bells on each of its ivory roofs to tinkle in fairy-tale breezes. I once nearly brought home a wildly rococo picture frame from Berlin, but realising I would have had to wear it round my neck if I were ever to have carried it back, what with all my other nicknacks, I had to leave it behind. I could have painted my own portrait and stuck in that. What a loss to art! It's a shame the Anglo-Saxon attitude is generally so very anti-rococo. I look forward to your examples of it. Dear Mr Chippendale. At Potsdam's Sans Souci it's all china parrots and unnecessary curlicues. Indeed, it is positively mannerist rather than merely rococo. Such a delicious palace. How one enjoyed it.<br /><br />There was a young man from darjeeling<br />Who aimed for a mannerist feeling.<br />He bought china parrots<br />And porcelain scallops<br />And plastered them over the ceiling.Dr Huckvale's Castle of Art and Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066728779498254419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-48218907424664546132012-05-28T22:00:11.829+01:002012-05-28T22:00:11.829+01:00Such a delicious poem Dear One, how I enjoyed it!!...Such a delicious poem Dear One, how I enjoyed it!!<br /><br />Rococo, not a style I myself find in the best of taste, will feature a little in future posts, but it's influence was limited in England, as we shall see.
