I have another confession--I can't pass up blue and white English transferware either. . . .or any transferware that is reasonably priced. . . .
It just seems to speak to me--
It just seems to speak to me--
"Take me home. . . ." And, I do. . . .
I had to make a decision for the keeping room--
just how many sets of dishes does a person really need?
I already have lots of white ware. . . .
But, can I leave this beautiful blue and white packed away?
No. . . .I think not. . . .
After all, it will blend in beautifully with the white. . . .
Don't you think?
Currier & Ives Harvest--Churchill, Staffordshire, England
Rosedown Plantation--Old English Staffordshire Ware, England
Lochs of Scotland--Royal Warwick, England
Blue Willow--Churchill, Staffordshire, England
Bermuda--Churchill, Staffordshire, England
Country Life--Myotts Staffordshire Ware, England
I too have a weakness for dishes. I have many, many sets. English transferware being a particular favourite of mine. I grew up with the 'Blue Willow ' Pattern. Was my grandmother's fave... Every time I see it I remember her, and how much I mieesed her.I never bought any, because I thought it would make me sad. But of late, I have been longing for some. Now because I wan it, I haven't seen any for sale.... Keeping an eyes peeled.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection. I also luv your Bermuda pattern.
Cheers,Gee
Your dishes are gorgeous! I'd have a real hard time passing them up also. Love all your beautiful pictures!!
ReplyDeleteI do not blame you at all. One can never have too much blue and white anything.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful plates, especially the Lochs of Scotland. Love the mountains, water and clouds.

I too, love transferware, especially the red right now. I have collected the blue, but have sold it. Your collection is beautiful and yes, it is beautiful with white. Thanks for stopping by Timeless Treasures and leaving a nice comment.

ReplyDeleteDishes are the best. I recently found so new ones and my mom said, so what set are you letting go of...huh? It's impossible for me. Your collections is simply amazing. I love every piece you own! Going back to look again!
ReplyDeleteOh...Just look at all your blueware! It's gorgeous and you are going to enjoy using it so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your new treasure, my friend!
Blessings,

Your nice collection shows you did not pass up to many great buys. All the dishes are lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dishes and perfect with the white you already have. Lovely blog and stunning photos. Enjoyed my visit from Vintage Thingie Thursday.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Other than a small cup and saucer I found a few weeks ago, I never picked up transferware - until last week when I spotted two pieces of GREEN... so, so beautiful! I dare say I shall never have the collection you have, but I have come to adore it all!
ReplyDeleteLOVE all of your blue and white transferware!!
ReplyDeleteLast week I was able to find 25 pieces including 9 dinner plates at Salvation Army for just over $36!!!
That was the find of a life time, I think!
Hugs,

Gorgeous collection of blue and white transferware!! I don't know which is my fav any more... I think I love all the colors! I love the teapot with the gold and blue too, it's gorgeous. After I'm done with my red collecion of Eng. transf. I will start with the blue, which is easier to find around here, than the other colors, like brown, purple, green, or even the red I just got! Beautiful! Hugs,

Your blue and white is so beautiful, and of course it goes with your white. And of course you need to display it. Great collection!

Sighing! I adore your blue and white! So beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Visiting from The Charm of Home. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2012/08/make-it-pretty-monday-week-10.html Hope to see you at the bash!

ReplyDeleteWow, now that is a lot of transferware! Love it and such pretty patterns. I have a much smaller collection but just this week I shared a box of blue and white that I found for $5. I'm still looking for more.
ReplyDeleteOh my word! I think I'm drooling in envy!

They are all beautiful! I'd definitely try to rotate them out if you can't keep them all out on display. I love transferware, too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely keep these out. If they are packed away, you'll likely never use them. Beautiful finds!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so beautiful. Great finds. I have a link party on Wednesdays, and I would love it if you would link this post. It is called Wednesdays Adorned From Above Link Party.
