Pretty Platters & Plates...Plus a Silver Plated Tea Set...

Hey there again....I  think old platters make wonderful background pieces for a vignette on a shelf or hutch.....there are so many ways to use old platters and plates, other than for serving...they can be hung and displayed on walls in a collection, for a unique one of a kind look, or use them as stand alone pieces on that kitchen wall that needs a little something.....they are perfect in the cottage chic home or farmhouse styles of decorating and I think they will add a touch of vintage charm to most any home....here's a few I've recently added to my ongoing collection.....

The rose bouquets on both of these platters remind me of a romantic country farmhouse.....I love the pink and yellow rose designs, and the fact that they are aged a bit makes them even better....

These antique flow blue set of 3 plates are perfect for the lover of blue and white dishes....these pair nicely with blue transferware.....

These were a unique and rare antique finds....they are flow blue broth consomme double handled cups and I think they will be pretty displayed with blue transferware....

This brown transferware plate has historical scenes from Oregon on it... with Lewis & Clark, Crater Lake, Bonneville Dam, Oregon City, Celilo Indians and the State Capital Salem....I like how the touches of powder blue and light green softens the brown, my husband has this displayed on the office shelves with some of his collectibles....

This is the cutest demitasse teacup with beautiful roses in shades of pink, it's extra cute because of it's tiny size.....and lastly, I have recently found this F.B. Rogers Silver Plated Tea Set, 4 Pieces include the teapot, sugar dish with lid and creamer....

So, that's this weeks new "old" finds. What have you found lately? Do you like collecting old plates like me....just to display in your home decor? 


Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day!
