My grandmother collected alot of bone china & porcelain. Mostly British, as that is the best quality.

And my other grandmother collected the porcelain "Fancy Ladies" that Royal Doulton does. I have several from her collection.

the english DO make lovely china, absolutely. i'm partial to blue willow, especially, but i'm very fond of most cobalt blue/white combinations.

and now (because i have a silly brain today) i wonder this: would it be an abomination to serve dinner to a vegetarian/vegan on bone china? since it *does* have actual bone IN it?

That first one is so lovely, It would fit in well with my blue fiesta pieces.

I hate you, I hope you know that. ;)

All the fiestaware mama has is orange! (And not much of it...) Your collection is GORGEOUS!!

Is it original red? Which looks orange? That stuff is $$$, hold on to it. Or maybe its contemporary Tangerine.

I dont have any tangerine just original, and I have only been able to afford a few pieces.

no, it's the tangerine color, not red. but...on the other hand, i think she plans on giving it to my SIL, and that's fine. as i said, i don't particularly like that color.

...and i'm honestly holding out for the blue willow plate that's segmented, for people who don't like their food to touch. i think it's cool. (it's an OLD child's plate that she picked up in an antique store. very cool.)
