American Limoges China - Chateau France

i recently found this lovely american limoges china

chateau france is the pattern

limoges china is named after the place it was made originally

limoges, france

from what i read, they stopped making it in 1930

manufacturers were already making it in the usa

hence the name, american limoges

22k gold filigree

beautiful countryside design

i found plates, soup bowls, smaller bowls, serving bowls

a creamer, gravy boat, saucers. it's all so beautiful!

this would be perfect for someone who does events or for a wedding as most of the pieces are plates in different sizes (only 2 dinner plates, but they would be great for platters), bowls, salad plates, smaller plates, saucers and the creamer and gravy boat for sauces. they are in fabulous condition - i will probably list them on etsy, but it is a big hassle shipping breakables - maybe i will list them for local pick up only. i wish i could keep them, but you would laugh at me if you saw all the dishes that i already have! thanks for stopping in - hope y'all have a fabulous weekend! xx c

shabby chic china

Trash to Treasure

Boy, you should have seen her when I found her. She had leaves and debris all entangled in her fringe, numerous spots and just overall dirty. Most folks would have just passed her by, but not me, I saw a diamond in the rough. Brought her home and gave her a good bath followed by a spin in the washer and a tumble in the dryer. Once on the bed, I finger-combed and trimmed her fringe and take a look at ner now. Too bad I did not get a before picture of this vintage Trapunto style snowy white cotton spread. She has found her spot on my bed and I am loving it! I also want to share a few more of my favorite finds of the week...

Shabby Chic Vintage China

I was out of town this past weekend, so I missed the Dixie Highway Yardsale - over 100 miles of yard sales. I was just itchin' to go "junkin" and I did manage to find a smaller version of it in South Georgia - from Pavo to Boston. Tiny little towns with no McDonalds, mostly just country, cows and fresh veggies for sale. I did score this vintage china in the Hostess Pattern by Gold Castle. I believe it is from the 1940s. This set has a wonderful "shabby chic" look to it, nicely worn. Too bad the teacups were chippy, but I just love the rose pattern, the gold trim and the pink and yellow...

Vintage China as Wall Decor

I love vintage china, it is like a special treasure when I find a special plate, lid, cup or saucer. I picked up 8 lids from compotes, servers and sugar dishes in an antique store a couple years ago, thinking I would use them as a wall grouping at the cottage. The painting on these pieces is just beautiful and I love the gold accents - very shabby chic...
