Vintage Red

Last week I posted about some of the treasures my daughter and I found at the Queen of Hearts Antique Mall in Alpharetta Georgia.

As we walked this Antique mall for 2 1/2 hours, my daughter came across a booth that was closing down, and everything in the booth was 40% off. Many times when we find a booth that is closing, there really isn't much left. So I was pleasantly surprised to find these beauties -

With the discount I bought 5 cups, 6 saucers and a creamer for about $10.

They are marked Made in England, but I think they will go with my Strawberry Hill Syracuse China.


I found these dishes about a year ago at the Goodwill. Never have seen this pattern again.

    Your last minute find was a very good one. They were ready to close and get rid of things. You lucked out.

    I adore the red/pink transferware patterns. I agree...they always seem to "play well together"! Copeland Spode Pink Tower lives in our cabinets. It came from my mother-in-love. Thank you for sharing your wonderful find. Cherry Kay

    I love the red transferware and, yes it does go well with the Strawberry Hill! I have a few pieces of Strawberry Hill, as well as other restaurantware pieces.

    They are very pretty! I guess they can be mixed with pink like the other Churchill pieces too!

    these are beautiful. funny enough, just the other day i had coffee at a friend's place in a cup that is so similar to yours. i had to go and look at the photo again to make sure they are not the same. i thought i was so lovely that i took a photo of the cup and put it on my blog (the post is here: http://sunshineofmyloves.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-creative-space-crochet-flowers.html
