#Ogee
Little messmate ogee bowl. Should've trusted myself to go thinner, but not bad for a first ogee I think. #woodturning

It's late, but never too late for the tour de force of fonts from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg #StAndrewOldCleeve. Lovely C15 octagonal font and beautiful octagonal ogee cover (i.e. with eight ogee ribs separating enclosed panels) #FontsOnFriday

Kiddo asked me to make up a Jedi name for him and I realized that Ogee Anunobi already works.

so glad I’m not a perfectionist about my house because imagine if I realised that The Prior Owners boarded up a doorway and then used a different ogee profile skirting board than the rest of the room to fill the gap. it would drive me insane

West elevation #BlackFriarsBristol #WindowsOnWednesday

Lovely but re-set and repaired Decorated-Style 2-light window with cusped #Ogee lights. Intriguing creasing of a #GhostRoof to the right (facing) #TheHistoryMouseInBristol

More an #AdoorableThursday doorway than door perhaps, but there's just something irresistible about an ogee arch....
This elegant example leads from
@gloucestercathedral.org.uk cloisters to cafe - revealing yet another ogee within.

A lovely 14th century ogee arched doorway framing the disused rood stairs in the Church of St. Nicholas, Swineshead, Bedfordshire 😍

North aisle #StMaryRedcliffe Bristol for #AdoorableThursday

Surmounted by beautifully lit niches bearing angels a crocketed #Ogee with foliate finial and fleuron carved cavetto moulding housing a late planked and studded door. Mouse say "Nice"

Gorgeous little St. Mary’s Church, Barton Bendish, Norfolk. One of my favourites 💕
Thatch, lime render, ogee headed doorway and atmosphere in abundance 🥰

One of my favourite doors…with carved figures, an ogee-headed wicket gate (little door within the door), leaded lights and more…🤩❤️
Lavenham, Suffolk.

Most impressive #DoorInMidAir from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #EastQuantoxheadToDunster leg: #StGeorgeDunster. Once giving access from the stair turret to the top of a screen between quire and crossing. Probably a rood loft. And chamfered #Ogee headed too #AdoorableThursday

#ScreenSaturday Much to enjoy in Sherborne Abbey.

Ogee arched doorways, a generous scattering of quatrefoils & abundant confident cusping combined to most handsome effect. @thehistorymouse.bsky.social

Mouse sticking round #HolyTrinityBristol for a couple of days as she has more to share: Pulpitum for lovers of the #Ogee everywhere #OgeeLove #StoneworkSunday #SundayStonework

(Mouse particularly pleased with this one. First ever total apex alignment - and it's beautiful)

West of tower #StJohnBatheaston #Somerset for #TraceryTuesday

Pointed 4-light window with cusped ogee lights. When the flowing #Ogee curves of Decorated period reticulated tracery were replaced by straight lines and the elongated hexagonals of the Perpendicular period. Shame

Amid the Gothic splendour an overcarved #UberGothic C19 pulpit. It does at least give the opportunity to use the term 'nodding ogee' for that is the form of the niches housing the apostles. Finialed crocketed nodding #ogee to be precise #StMaryRedcliffe Bristol #SundaySermons

North of Lady Chapel #StMaryRecliffe Bristol for #AdoorableThursday

The crocketed #Ogee with finial is a motif found across the church from niches to doors. It marks out and frames the sacred
March 26, 2026 at 8:54 PM
Beautifully carved canopied tomb decorated with finialed #Ogee separated by crocketed pinnacles. Probably one of the most common motifs in medieval church carving. Eternal light for eternal life
North aisle, eastern end #StMaryRedcliffe Bristol for #MemorialMonday

#AdoorableThursday
Super c.1500 oak door from a fine timber-framed house in Ipswich, featuring a dinky, well-used ogee-topped wicket door.
Survival said to be thanks to thick, broad planks strengthened by sturdy carved uprights and large iron nails.
In V&A.

When even your piscina has its own nodding ogee.

Scrumptious nodding ogee arched canopy over this chantry chapel door in Winchester Cathedral. Fantastic cusping and crocketing! #AdoorableThursday

I am of course hoping that @thehistorymouse.bsky.social agrees that it is "nodding": ie its apex projects beyond the springing-line of the canopy.

Over-carved Victorian pulpit with openwork traceried 3-light windows diagonal buttresses with crocketed finials and various floriate and foliate designs to the spandrels and rail. The #Ogee motif is its redeeming feature #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #SundaySermons

Tuesday's missed Mouse posts due to the Blue Sky Wobble: Clever and unusual tracery effectively shows how #Ogee or 4-centred arches are constructed. Three inverted pointed arches create intersecting ogees as well as quatrefoil and daggers #HolyTrinityAbbotsLeigh #NorthSomerset for #TraceryTuesday

Also, if you're going to eternally declare DADO too obscure to play, then you really don't have much of a leg to stand on in allowing OGEE.
