Auction Dishes


I have a first cousin that lives north of Dallas Tx....she is not only my cousin...she is one of my best friends!    Kelly is always on the lookout for things that I would like.    When  she was at the auction a few months ago,  she bought me these dishes.   She said the whole box of dishes was only a couple of dollars and she couldn't resist getting them for me.  

She knows how much I love anything with roses on it....aren't these cups and saucers cute....
They are marked made in China on the back....

These will be perfect for a tea party with my Grand daughter!

There was a whole bunch of these white dishes with the pretty gold flowers on them.   2 dinner plates, 12 dessert plates, 12 saucers, 11 cups,   a small bowl,    and a small pitcher.
Way up in the top left corner of the photo is a cute little tea diffuser shaped like a tea pot that was also in the box.

The only marking on the dishes is this 236.


There was only one Queens Golden Jubilee tea cup....

but there were 4 saucers.

Kelly has wonderful taste and I am so glad that she thinks of me when she is out shopping!   We go visit Kelly and Mark a couple of times a year and I am always so excited to see what she's found for me......she is the one that has found most of my vintage wedding gowns ....and she only pays $10 or less for each one of them!    Love ya Kelly!

  3. Well, isn't that the sweetest thing for your cousin to do! The dishes are sweet too. I love the retro looking ones with the single flower on them. Your grands will have a ball sipping their tea from those cups!
    Be a sweetie,

  6. Oh dear, I'm sorry Penny. I was sure I commented on your cousin and friend..which I think we should all have someone like her in our lives. :) The dishes are all lovely. The china looks like it may have had to do with the Queen's coronation, perhaps a set made to commemorate her 50th year on the throne. I remember watching the coronation on black and white TV. when I was in high school and my mother telling me that it was a chance of a lifetime and I would probably never see another. She was right. I probably won't. I was about 15 at the time and I am now 77 years old.
    The tablecloth with the bows is so sweet. What a lot of work that must have been.
