Transferware at the summer house.

We have started the summer season very early this year. Our summer house is a great place to get away from the city, even if it's not summer yet. It was a delight to meet my brown and white transferware again as well. So far it's a small collection (in use), but I allways keep an eye out for more plates! I have posted some pictures of some of the plates. Enjoy!


I also have a black and white saucer that is hanging on the wall. It's marked "Cairo" on the back and I think it is very charming on the striped wallpaper.

I use all my pates. The summer house is small and I have not much room for storing a collection. The best way to appreciate the plates are to use them I think. If one breaks I will be sad, but then again it's just a plate.

  1. that is a nice point of view to have. sometimes i think 'what am i saving this for??' better to use what you love all the time, than to hide it away and only see it occasionally.

    thanks for the reminder. :)

  2. Eline,

    Of course I love your collection. The first plate is Royal Cauldon Nature I think? I love the Cairo saucer....especially the border.

    Thanks for showing us part of your collection!
