A few years ago I came across these LOVELY dishes at a little vintage shop in town (which no longer exists *tears*). I knew as soon as I saw the gorgeous pink interiors of the cups that I had to have them. I bought the whole set- teacups and saucers, soup bowls, dinner plates, covered casserole dish (also pink inside), gravy boat- everything. I cannot tell you how much I adore this set.
Recently at the thrift store I came upon these two pieces of Syracuse restaurant plates:
I got them for 50 cents each and I just love the square shape and colored edges! And, as it turns out, the pink one looks great with my beautiful dishes:
P.S. The crocheted backdrop in these photos is a giant bedspread made by my great-grandmother. It was given to me by my late grandma 11 years ago- I will cherish it always!

I love your dishes, but I really really love your bedspread that has been handed down through the generations. Oh my goodness it is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS dishes! Doesn't it make you so happy when the interior of things like dishes or handbags or shoes is an unexpected color? Such an easy thing to do when making something but very few companies do it. It's always a big selling point with me.
ReplyDeletehurray, looking in charity shops for vintage china is one of my favourite things to do :) what lovely ones you've found! i have a plan for the flowers for my wedding, i'm going to have rose & peony flower heads dotted in vintage teacups all over the tables, so i have that excuse for doing a lot of vintage china hunting!!
ReplyDeletethey are gorgeous!!! love love love them=)
ReplyDeleteLovely dishes!! YOu always find such gorgeous things!
ReplyDeletebtw... I had hoped to catch you in chat to show you my delphine... but it seems you have beaten me to it! lol
