K, so first off...I have this random interest in china. And I love the idea of different and unique pieces in our dishes collection, so I set out to find some cool dishes. Mission accomplished.
This is a BEAUTIFUL bread/dessert plate. I was SO hoping they had more of this pattern, but sadly, one lonely little bread plate was all I could get my hands on. And it was only like $4.
The most amazing tea cups & saucers I've ever seen. Gorgeous print--this picture doesn't do it any justice. I got a set of 2 for like $8.
What good are tea cups without a tea pot? I found this beauty on our last look-around and had to have it. I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but the white part is all pearly and shiny--and I love the contrast with the stark black handle & spout. I love it! Also only like $8!
A beautiful hand mirror! In amazing condition and THE prettiest color :)
So feminine!
Dinner plate find #1: I know it looks a bit strange, but I just loved how unique this plate was. A bee plate? Really? But it's hand-painted and rimmed with gold. I like it. A lot.
Dinner plate #2: a pretty pattern with a little japanese feel to it. I love the ruffly edges of this plate.
Dinner plate #3: my favorite! gorgeous color. gorgeous pattern and so vintage!
Dinner plate #4: I thought that this was a little different, but very nice. It's rimmed in gold with these lovely rippled edges. The pattern is a little holiday-ish but I really love it's simplicity.
So, as you can see...I love dishes??? I don't know. There was just something about all these unique pieces of kitchenware that I just really loved. Maybe its all of the cooking I do lately? I don't know, but I think I will continue collecting vintage pieces to add to our dishes cabinet. It was really fun and I love that all of the things I bought have an unknown history. I think I am in love with antiquing :)
