This plate is one that I loved from a very young child...the colors and flowers always facinated me. She had aways told me that it was mine when she was gone. One day after my grandpa died she took it out of the china closet and gave it to me. Ahhhhhhhh such memories. It is marked on the back Noritake japan with a crest of some sort.
Victorian china Occupied Japan Sunburst...these were her "good dishes" and we ate many Chirstmas dinners on them. A complete set for 12 with all the side dishes. They were given to me as the oldest grandchild when she died. I don't use them often as family is scatterd and not together on holidays. They are beautiful.
Well another week gone by...and time for my second VINTAGE THINGIES THURSDAY! This week I will showcase my other grandmothe...this grandma I spent a lot of time with...as we lived with them when I was born and a few yrs after...then moved only a few blocks away and I was always at their house ...even after we move to the country ..about 5 miles away. I always want to be at grandmas cause they live in "town". I wanted this to be at the top but as you can see I am still learning this blog stuff..lol
Don't forget to visit http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/ this lady host VTT every week. Vist her wonderful blog!
blessings to all

I started collecting pink depression glass and then it became all the rage and drove the price up. I have only a few pieces. No goblets though yours are lovely. Wasn't it nice to play pretend?! My imagination took me to some wonderful places. It is so nice you have the family china and such good memories.
ReplyDeleteLovely pieces today...look at #25, Donna's mom's china, it is similar to yours you posted about today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your story and pretty things, I love the pink depression glasses!
Have a great week and a happy VTT.

ReplyDeletedepression glass. Do you use the glassware?
Beautiful dishes!! How special that you inherited them with your fond memories. Sally
ReplyDeleteDonna, I love pink depression glass. You need to get your grandma's china out and use it to make ordinary meals a bit more special. It is too gorgeous to sit on a shelf.

ReplyDeleteHi, I'm late getting around. Love your post. I think your dishes should be called Lotus not Sunburst. Can you see the flower. Or maybe Waterlily?? Have a great one!
