CHINA PATTERNS!

There are so many

wonderful patterns 

to choose from.

Some have been discontinued

through the years, 

and others seem to have that

timeless longevity --

being produced in their original forms

or slightly altered through the years.

When I got married in the late 1980's

I chose a very plain simple white pattern

from Fitz and Floyd. 

See below.
It's got gold banding

and European clean lines...

no curves, no thrills.

Fitz & Floyd's "Classique d'Or"

Royal Worcester

At the time,

 I "thought" I didn't want 

to go with a colorful floral or busy pattern

 I might tire of,

thinking instead that for color

I could add 
fresh flowers and/or linens 
to my table. 

And although white plates are
pretty boring, they would always
go with my dining room decor,
super practical. I know, yawn.

Instead I found sets of

patterned salad plates 

to top off the  

gold-rimmed whiteness of my dishes.

A stunning setting from Yvonne at Stonegable!

I always intended to one day find 

 that "perfect" patterned set

but just never have.

(But I will show you some patterns on the first 

that I have had my eye on.)
