Your book French Country Cottage inspired me to start collecting vintage china Limoges and than spilled to red and white TRANSFER-WARE and blue snd white. China. Before it had to be new china from the department stores.

Even though I love the look of antique chinaware, i wonder if anyone is concerned about the lead content in old china. how do any of you get past this danger when serving food in such plates, cups and serving ware?
Ann

You’re speaking my language with this post 🙂 I had to make myself a deal tho and when I come across another pattern of dishes, I have to make sure I have room for a new set or consider donating a set already in my collection. I adore dishes !!!!!!

Sorry for all caps, I promise im not shouting, just cant seem to fix the font.

Great post. I agree buy what you love love and you won’t regret. Especially if it’s a good price.

I can say that it is like a torture for me to pass by vintage dishes because they are absolutely aesthetic and their look so awesome that it takes my breath away. Also, I completely support your position about making purchases because I feel the same. I think that everything should be built on love and not only by passing fancy or a fleeting passion because in this case it is simply delusion. In the end, you can come to an awareness that your emotions have faded and you don’t need this thing. It is really important not to be careless and try to control your feelings, turning on a clear cold brain. To tell the truth, I also put my favourite colours in vintage china as priority because the visual component has a great importance for me and it always needs to be harmonic.

I have several collections, but I also collected 200 different antique dishes for my daughter’s wedding several years ago, so every guest would have a different, beautiful place setting. I stopped at every antique store, goodwill, garage sale, etc. for a year, and we made it! Love all of your pretty dishes! thanks for the fun post!

YoU stole my heart with this one!!!….I love vintage dishes and have inherited some over the years from some of my family and their collections and have also picked up pieces at rummage sales and antique stores. My brother was cleaning out an old barn and he found a platter and he thought of me and it was so precious to me that he gave me something from the heart. I treasure the platter and it is on display at my home. When I am out shopping and I pick up an old piece of China it brings a wonderful feeling over me to know that this piece has been handed down through the generations and that it has been at many many family gatherings over all kinds of discussions AnD at many holidays Anand it brings a peaceful feeling over me and I hope all of you out there enjoy all of your collections of beautiful China.
