Suikerbus met nectarines (Sugar Tin with Nectarines)

A teal sugar tin marked SUIKER, a glass carafe and a white enamel bowl of peaches and nectarines, with a garlic bulb and two small red daisies on a lace-edged napkin over a checked cloth. The freckled blush of the ripening skin is the real performance here, each fruit caught at a different stage of warm. A quiet kitchen turned into something worth slowing down for.
