Usually I am
dishing up some food dishes but today I am dishing up some "china". I have only contributed once to
TT hosted by
Susan at between naps on the porch. I only own one set of China. I am so much better at cooking and baking then at making my table a work of art. I do however read all the
TT posts every week and I have gained a wealth of knowledge from all these unique posts. Everyone is so creative. Susan, it goes without saying that your
TT has brought so many lovely ladies and gentlemen together throughout the world who share your passion for beautiful place settings in the home. Thank you Susan.
While I was visiting
Dupre's Antique store in Marietta, Georgia I thought I would share some of the beautiful plates and accessories for you all to view. I know that many times I read that someone is looking for a specific plate or cup to complete a set or to replace a piece of their china. Hopefully you will find it here while window shopping.
Please click on photos for more detail.
Blue and whites are always a classic and seems to be a popular
TT theme.
Vintage English bone china dessert plates with colorful flowers to compliment a white place setting are always a lovely accent to a traditional
tablescape.
Coaching Days by Royal
Doulton.
I actually photographed the price list for this set. Pretty hefty price of $1,200 for the set
or you can buy the pieces
separately.
I do remember that someone did own a set of these beauties.
Pretty red and white patterns and cups and saucers.
Pink depression glass plates and serving pieces to add to one's collection.
Colorful and ever popular
Fiestaware in many hard to find discontinued colors.
Lots of pretty green dishes and glassware.
Some pretty cups and saucers to complete your tea service.
Cups and saucers came in every color with many themes and from many countries. See the lovely cup and saucer from Canada?
I hope that you all had fun window shopping with me today!
I did enjoy window shopping! I love the red and white dishes. Thanks for visiting my blog today, come back anytime.
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful time window shopping. I loved all the pink depression glass. I have several pieces of it and need to start collecting again. Thanks for visiting and thanks for the shopping trip.

Hi Joyce!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the shopping trip. I have wanted to visit Marietta for so long...I hear there are some wonderful shops there. Long ago, my family roots were planted there...even before Sherman marched through.
Thanks for stopping by...

That is some place. Everything you could possibly look for is there. I love the blue, the red and the pink depression glass.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even know where to begin in a shop like that!! Love the blue and white, but the pink and white also grabbed my attention. Great pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are really very beautiful tea. Good Shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this different take on TT. It was a pleasure to view the different types of dishes! That Coach set sure is different ...and pricey!
ReplyDeleteDD
Oh, be still my heart! You have really got the blood pumping. Interesting that just today I posted about dishes too. Great Minds!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun weekend~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
Wow, I want to go shopping with you...Love the pictures!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool shop ... someday when we finally empty the FL condo (assuming its ever sold) I will keep mom's bone china and I am sure I will need replacement pieces, I will be emailing asking where that place was ... and I am aching to own Fiestaware but someone thinks we dont need another set of dishes ... :=(
ReplyDeleteThat red transferware is heaven for me. Love it! Can't imagine having to dust all that.
ReplyDeleteHave fun getting ready for fall!

All pretty but I really love the English Vintage! and I'm with you, I love all the dishes but I can't set a table, I can cook :) Great post! Love the first pic in the cabinet!
ReplyDeleteHoly Dishes Joyce!!! If I had to choose one set, I don't know if I could do it. I like them all.
