The lure of acquiring more vintage and retro china beckoned this weekend. Here are my highlights:
I found two charming sets of china decorated with roses. The first is aptly called 'Charm' and the second is a Royal Wessex design by Swinnertons. They would be great for adding a touch of vintage romance to a wedding breakfast.
With the buds on our apple and pear trees starting to appear, I'm starting to look forward to the promise of abundant fruits and I couldn't resist this bone china tea set.
I was given this 'Pinkie' Crinoline Lady cup for free, as it was saucer-less. It just turns out I have a matching saucer. I knew my hoarding of lonely vintage china would pay off eventually!
I also added to our collection of blue & white and red & white for making patriotic cake stands. These Royal Doulton, British Anchor and Royal Tudor Ware plates are decorated with wistful countryside landscapes and nostalgic village scenes.
And finally, I was very excited to find this Johnson Brothers Indian Tree teapot. We sold two teasets in the same pattern recently and I really hope one of our customers will come back so they can complete their set with the matching teapot!
These newest finds will be on our Cambridge Market stall over the coming weeks.
