A LOVELY FIND OF PURPLE TRANSFERWARE

Last  Saturday when we went to Mexico, Missouri,

I found a nice collection of purple transferware.

Many of the ones I found were the similar pattern "Pastoral Davenport" by A. J. Wilkinson Ltd which are so very similar to "Rural Scenes"  Clarice Cliff which  were six plates that I already had. 

 Some of the pieces were "Rural Scenes".  The most thrilling part was there were 5 cups and

 saucers in the group which I really needed.

I also have soup bowls now and lots more plates.

So I put away my collection of

English spring pansy pieces.

I already had some "Rural Scenes" Clarice Cliff

plates and these Clarice Cliff  "Charlotte" cups

and saucers and other pieces but last Saturday

I found a group of pieces to add with them.

I also got the large

wash pitcher.  I have

several of these

that I use for

bouquets.

This is the large

wash pitcher that

I found......

I don't know if you sew but if you do, you can make your own table cloths with simple narrow hemming on wider fabrics.  If fabric is 45" wide, you can add a strip to each side to make it wider.  Most oblong or oval tables are about 42" wide.  A common size for a dining room table is 60" and then upwards per 12" leaf.  The drop of the cloth on the sides and ends is usually 6-12".

I enjoy setting my table differently

every few weeks.  I am retired so I

need to keep busy.

The soup bowls and cups and saucers

were part of my new purchase. 

Do you collect any transferware and

if so - what colors?
