CHIMNEY POTS

Do you love chimney pots?

This is our latest purchase 

They will arrive next week..they are from  the 1800s

and will go here, although I have not a clue how they will get up here or by who

822 has 3 working fireplaces and we are adding one in the master and one outdoor

The other chimney not seen here is the same for two fireplaces

I would like to have 3 different chimney pots here

again, the roof is so steep it's scary to think of someone hauling these 60 pound things up something and placing them there

birds!

Fiddler on the Roof-ish

I like them all different and that moss is perfect

no moss here--way too dry

 wonderful examples (via google)

I think it could be one of the most charming things we could add to the house

I've never seen them around here and feel sure that they are taken quite for granted in Europe

It also makes me wonder how they will hold up in our Panhandle wind which can be so strong at times

one of those purchases( like the fabric)

that I made before I thought

the description that had me at Chimney

Two, nearly matching, Antique Chimney Clay Pots bought at an exclusive Estate Sale in England from a 1800s Chateau. These antiquities are the most desired the Crown Style. The pots have a distinguished variations in tones of a brown hue shades and are very pronounced in the natural light.
It is hard to imagine the hands of the maker ever knowing they would cross the Atlantic 150 plus years later. It was the "top" showing of stature in the communities that showed ones prominence and at one time based the royal taxation on the number of them and style to the resident of the estate.
