Some photos featuring Blue Willow transferware and mix of other blue and white china. Lots more stored in boxes in garage and attic. Maybe someday I'll find the time to unbox. Meanwhile, these are temporarily heading to the kitchen pantry shelves until my husband, Don, can build a custom wall cabinet opposite our kitchen table. And then they'll come out again to display with other assorted English ware china and ironstone.

   

The blue willow plate above and beneath saucers and cups seen in photos were discovered at local antique store. The vendor was selling (lot of twenty-three) really cheap. Before purchasing, I went through the entire stack wondering why several were brownish in areas. As the story goes, someone had placed them in an oven. To me, the discoloring imparts vintage charm. 

Not shown are badly burnt ones which I'm considering breaking into pieces with other china to create Pique Assiette mosaics.
