Mari at Once Upon a Plate said...: Thank you so much!

It was an "emergency" photo...lol. I'e been slacking in the kitchen, nothing blooming in the garden, the light is such a challenge here at this time of year... what to do? Take a picture of a SNACK! :)

Linda, as you can see it's Chintz, and with the exception of the jumbo mug (between he fruit and cup and saucer) it's all English, Royal Winton/Grimwades, Ltd. The pattern is Wellbeck. It's not vintage, but a reproduction set they released in 1995.

I'll bet you could find some on ebay, or through replacements.com.

The jumbo mug/gardener's mug, however, is an antique made by Lord Nelson Ware, England. The pattern is "Rose Time", from the early 1900's. (I use it as a biscotti or cheese straw holder.) :)

Thank you for the sweet compliments! xo; January 26, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Becky said...: Mari, I love your Chintz. My grandmother brought my Mom some of that from Canada when I was born. I even know where it is! Should get it out for photos.

Your blog is always so inspiring to me. I've given you a couple of blog awards. Check them out when you get a chance.

Marysol said...: Only you would take the time to place an orange on such a lovely sea of Chintz.

Karen said...: I always miss my Mom when looking at your blog. She would have so admired your perfect presentations. The dishes are *so* lovely.; January 27, 2009 at 9:54 AM
Mari at Once Upon a Plate said...: Hi Becky, how wonderful that are familiar with that Chintz pattern. Extra special that it was a gift from your grandmother to your mother when you were born~ what a great association you must have for those dishes.
A surprise on your blog? Oh my goodness! I'll be right over. :)

Marysol, thank you! It's always so terrific to have you stop by. xo

Karen, how sweet that such things remind you of your dear mother. I miss my mom very much too. ((hugs)); January 27, 2009 at 10:13 AM
