Cups and Saucers ..... Vintage Things Thursday

Yayyyyyyyyy...it's that wonderful day of the week again. This week has passed really fast..
and sooooooo..it's Vintage Things Thursday again. We can all scamper on over to
ColoradoLady to see all the wonderful vintage thingies... Come on and join in the fun...


Cup and saucer with fluting, gold rimmed..and a pretty magnolia blossom.....

A set 4 Gresley Ironstone cups... The little cups have 8 sides and are made in England...

A set of 4 demi saucers? butter plates? demitasse saucers???? I'm not sure what these tiny saucers are called..but I love them. The tiny purple flowers, sprigs of green and the teensy rim of gold on the edges.. I paid the large sum of one dollar for these little cuties.. does anyone know what they are?

  1. So pretty! My mother's wedding china is faceted (octagon) and I adore it. I never knew there was this shape in ironstone! ~Kelly

  6. So pretty...I did not know ironstone came in this shape, I might have never turned them over if I had seen them somewhere because of the shape...look what I would have missed. All the little flowers are so delicate and sweet on your other dishes.

    Have a great VTT!

  8. The magnolia cup and saucer is lovely! And interesting those octagon-shaped cups. They would look just right with the new saucers you have, don't you think? I can see they are really small. Cute! :-)

  12. Hello, CC,
    I enjoyed looking at your vintage china and stoneware. It seems to me that coffee just tastes better in a vintage cup. Blessings being sent your way. Vicki

  14. Really pretty cups and plates...I think the saucers are demitasse saucers...but you could use them as butter dishes, under a small candle or just to admire ;)

    Thank you for sharing! Happy VTT!!

  19. I love fabric and quilting! The story of making the apron was sweet. Your Gresley ironstone and demi-saucers are very pretty, and they look so nice against the pink fabrics. Happy Pink Saturday, and thanks so much for stopping by to visit me!
