Welcome to 2nd Time Around on Tuesday! Here's your chance to show off your thrift shop, garage sale, estate sale, antique store, etc. finds! Also, if you have something that you inherited or was given to you, that qualifies too. Just post a link to your post into Mr. Linky below!This pretty little gravy boat is one piece from a set of china that my aunt Gloria gave to me many years ago. She bought it at an estate sale back in the days when she had an antique store. It has numbers on the bottom, but no other markings. The set has 12 plates and LOTS of serving dishes!
I have always loved purple, and really cherish this set of dishes! Thanks for stopping by, and please consider joining us!
This is gorgeous, Diane!!
ReplyDeleteNext Tuesday count me in! I found a goodie this weekend...I'll probably post a "before" this week, then a I'll gussy her up this weekend for next Tuesday (I know...the suspense is killing you, LOL! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your dishes...sounds like a pretty complete set. Lucky you!
Oh, this is a LOVELY gravey boat..I know the set of dishes must be wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks for hosting this fun day. It will be growing by leaps and bounds soon!
love your Gravy Boat,it is very pretty.I have left you an award at my blog.
ReplyDeleteI really love your gravy boat, Diane...it would go well with all my china(hint, hint). :)
ReplyDeleteDiane I did get my post up last night. LOL. I fell asleep twice while doing it. It is amazing that it makes any sense at all. Smile.
ReplyDeleteYour gravy boat is beautiful. I bought dishes when I was 18 one place setting at a time. The shape of your gravy boat reminds of mine. I love lavender and green even though I don't have a thing in those colors.
Mr. linky is not up so I'll try again later.
Hugs and wishes for a happy day...Jeanne
Love the colors in the gravy boat. I bet the set of dishes are grand when displayed together.

Diane, that is a lovely piece of china, what a great find, and how sweet of your aunt to give it to you! I love the purple flowers. It looks a lot like Haviland. How wonderful to have so many pieces of it, too.

Here's wishing you a wonderful week. I'll check in on your posts.

What a pretty pattern on the gravy boat Diane. Perfect for a Spring table :-)
ReplyDeleteDiane, your china is really pretty. I had planned on joining in this week, but did not get my ducks in a row. Will do so next week!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! It's rare to see something other than pink roses on this kind of china so it's always a little surprise when lavenders and yellows pop up!
