I love transferware pottery. Especially coloured patterns like pink, brown and this gorgeous pea green.
I'm still buzzing at this latest discovery in the local charity shop. Two soup tureens and six soup bowls, perfect condition. Made by Johnsons Brothers. I actually think these pieces are not that old but have used an old transfer pattern called "Old London" which depicts the Horse Guards parade in St James's Park on the bowls and Big Ben on the tureen lids.
Love the London images. Sometimes I'm staggered at what people will leave at the charity shop but I guess, 'one mans meat...' and all that!
More fabulous finds at Sophies...
Those pieces are lovely!Two soup tureens. Gorgeous! I too am staggered at the stuff people will throw out. Sometimes I think that people don't know what beauty is unless they are told what it is in the media. But then again, let them throw out as much as they want, more for us!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this, I immediately guessed you were in the UK. It's next to impossible to find anything so grand in op shops here. Great luck!
ReplyDeleteOh, they are stunning! I love the gorgeous green, I don't think I've seen the green before...
ReplyDeleteIt is time to buy a lottery ticket. This is all I can bear to say, as I have turned an all over pea-green shade.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, my mother had a huge taurine like this from English, her homeland. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteThey look great and I love the green. Now for some pea soup to go in them?
ReplyDeleteWow...just lovely! What a lucky find!
ReplyDeleteGreen isn't normally a colour I would think of for crockery - but its not bad is it? What a lovely find. They all look in mint condition :)
ReplyDeleteYou seem to get your hands on the most amazing stuff you lucky lady! Love them!
