Hello my friends!
Welcome to the 47th run of "Sunday Favorites"!!!
I hope that you are all having a fabulous weekend! We are finally having some nice weather...the sun is shining and it's in the high 40's! It actually snowed here a couple of days this past week so I'm really enjoying the day. You are probably tired of hearing me say it...but I am soooo ready for Spring!
*
Today for Sunday Favorites, I thought I would share a post about a few of my white ironstone treasures...one of which is a beautiful bunny covered casserole dish that I found at my favorite antique flea market.
*
Stay tuned because I have used this beautiful bunny casserole dish in my Spring decor in the dining room. Hopefully I will be posting about that on Monday!
*
Well my friends...have a super Sunday! Thank you so much for coming by today!

White Ironstone
*
I just love white English Ironstone!!! I have been collecting it for a couple of years now...dishes, pitchers, soup tureens...if it's ironstone I collect it! Well...I make it sound like I have a great collection but actually I have just a few pieces...but I'm working on it!!! Hehe!
*
My love for ironstone started when I saw my dear friend Sue's great collection way back in the days of Rate My Space! Sue has a beautiful collection...cabinets and shelves just full of this delightful glassware! If you haven't ever been over to Sue's place...treat yourself and go! Sue has a delightful blog...A Stitch In Time. She's such a dear, sweet lady and I know that you'll make a friend!!!

My Newest Ironstone Treasures
*
Ahhhh...white ironstone pitchers!!!
*When I was down in Texas last month, my mama gave me these two ironstone pitchers! The larger pitcher is very heavy and stands about 7 in. tall...I think it's quite old...although my mama wasn't sure! The smaller little frenchy pitcher is used for cream! I just love my newest ironstone treasures!

Thank you, Mama!!!

Ohhh my...not only do I love ironstone but I also love bunnies! So it just doesn't get any better than this!!! Hehe! I found this darling little covered casserole dish at the Antique Market a couple of weeks ago! It was true love as soon as I spotted it!!!
*
I think I got a pretty good deal on it...$8.00! I hate to say it, but I would have probably paid more!

Ironstone Coffee/Tea Pot

I found this little coffee/tea pot the same day that I found the bunny casserole at the Antique Market. This is the only piece that has a manufacturer's mark on it...JG Meakins. This is my very first coffee/tea pot...so it's kind of special! Hehe! Ohhh...I just love it!!!
**
I really don't have any idea what these sell for...I gave $10.00 for it.

My very first set of dishes...
My very first set of dishes...

Do you see the white ironstone cups and saucers? These actually belong to a set of dishes that I bought with green stamps when I was just 13 yrs. old. As you can see...I've had a dish fetish for some time! Hehe! I gave this set to my oldest daughter a few years ago. When I was visiting with her in Texas last month, I asked about this set of dishes and she offered to let me bring them back home with me...on the agreement that she would get them back some day! I was really excited to have my very first set of dishes back home with me!!!

Won't you have a cup of tea with me? Do you take cream & sugar...how about a little lemon? Nothing fancy...just a little hospitality for stopping by and letting me show you all my latest white ironstone treasures!!!

Chari,
ReplyDeleteI just love all your new ironstone pieces..the bunny is perfect for Easter/Spring tables! The pieces from your mom are so special and wonderful! I only have one piece of ironstone...but now you are making me want to collect more! You are such a great inspiration! Hope you are having a great weekend my friend...I'm off to Austin and Fredericksburg Texas next week...hope to find some great bargains and new pretties in Texas hill country.
The sweet little bunny is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHello again my blogging friend! I, too, love beautiful teapots and pitchers. Once in one of my generous moods I bought my sister-in-law a teapot and cups-and-saucers set almost like the one you have! I can't afford to do that very often! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love all of your ironstone. It is so pretty. Just gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pieces...how lucky you are to have such treasures. I especially love the ironstone coffee pot.
I haven't participated in Sunday Favorites for awhile....but wanted to enter one today/tonight.
Thanks for providing such a great "connection" for all of us.

ReplyDeleteHeck, I'm retired and hardly find the time to keep up with a few of my favorite blogs. Plus hubby is always saying i do not spend enough time taking care of him.
Great post and thanks for all the nice words you send my way.
