A few years ago I found a beautiful Johnson Brothers
plate called Windsor Ware. I later found 2 more and then one and eventually I found a set of six. Now I had 10 plates. The fruit and floral motif on the plates is lovely as it includes a rose and a chrysanthemum.
I go out antiquing here and there across our state so over time I found 3 cups and saucers that matched the plates. Today I found 7 more to go with the 3, bringing the total to 10 of those. Of course these will be lovely for fall.
The teapot below has lots of crazing but I
don't mind
as that just means it was loved.
Autumn officially begins September 23 and who would believe how soon that is coming.
I can't even remember where I found the platter below:
I am a mix and match person so a couple of cottage teapots work great for me. This one is an Arthur Wood & Sons and the one above with the crazing is a Sadler. For anyone who doesn't know and is curious crazing just means tiny innocent cracks all over often seen on used and loved teapots and cups and saucers.
Such a pretty pattern... and great collection!

ReplyDeleteBernideen, you are all set for a beautiful fall. I absolutely love those dishes and am so happy for you that you are slowly putting a set together. Fall is very close but I'm still trying not to wish summer away yet. It is getting easier as the weather is definitely a little cooler..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteI have the same dishes! If you remember I did a post about them last November. I sure love your teapots!
ReplyDeleteJust a perfect way to describe the crazing.. I love your plates I have seen them on ebay for more of a price it's nice that you found them... wish we had sale like that around her but we don't.. I too last night was thinking how Autumn was just around the corner the days are just flying by.. Lovely post... have a wonderful day with love Janice
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore that JB pattern, I contemplated getting a partial set of that pattern several years ago and did not, I have regretted it several times. So I am so glad to see that you have it and I can enjoy it on your blog. :)

ReplyDeleteWOW...such a beautiful pattern. I have a lot of Johnson Brothers and I just love it all. Fall...I wish hope it will soon be here! I love fall and this summer has been so hot and just icky.
