VTT, Sixties China

It's Vintage Thingies Thursday, so go on over to Colorado Lady's blog and see what other treasures are on display around the blogs.



I purchased this china in the mid sixties In Australia and for some years it was my "good" china, the kind I used for dinner guests. It has cups and saucers, bread plates, small and larger dinner plates and dessert/soup bowls


It was a 36 piece setting for 6 and it is only missing a couple of items.
Looks pretty retro doesn't it?
I couldn't tell you what I paid for it then, maybe $25-35?







I also have no idea why I have hung on to it all these years, for decades I have packed it up and moved it from Australia, to USA, to Europe and back and forth around the USA! And it has not been used for a very,very long time. Go figure huh?
Guess I just like it - still.

    it's beautiful. You should use it! I just decided recently to start using all the pretty things I have instead of waiting for 'someday.' I'm enjoying using them for the every day moments!

    It looks very 60s. It would look very nice and refreshing on a vintage solid green tablecloth.

    I guess you just must like it. If sixties are vintage, then so am I. Ugh! Happy VTT.

    It is not always the price of something that is important. It is what it means to you. These dishes are very pretty and you did the right thing in keeping them.

    I think it's very pretty and I'd pull it out of storage and start enjoying it daily if it were mine! The colors are fabulous and it is in wonderful condition~ thanks for sharing and Happy VTT!

    It must be important to you, and I kind of like the shape of teh cups and bowls.

    We all do that. The dishes mean something to you and it is comforting to always have them with you. The things I have carried around with me, my poor daughter some day will have to deal with. LOL For now I keep them. Have a great day.
