THINKING AHEAD TO FALL WITH TRANSFERWARE

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.

  3. These are very nice dishes, Bernideen! I've not seen a Johnson's Brothers pattern I don't like yet!

    Autumn is coming quickly! It's my favorite season so I am eagerly looking for it!

  8. Bernideen, 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

  11. Hi Bernideen,
    I 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. :)
