Hooked On . . . . Blue and White Dishes

I am having a love affair -- with blue and white dishes!!!! I have scads and will bring home a plate, tureen or platter at the drop of a hat!

Here are many of my Spode pieces on the baker's rack in the breakfast room. I enjoy seeing them daily rather than having them hidden in a cabinets.
Espresso cups and saucers are a flea market find -- I only have two blue and white ones but that's okay -- it's perfect for Husband Jim and I. The plates are Wedgwood Asiatic Pheasant. One of THE patterns of English china done by many makers.
The table is ALWAYS set with blue and white -- this time it's Johnson Brothers Indies (our "everyday" blue and white)
A wee Indies pot, two cups and saucer brought home carefully on a trip to England. The pot -- perfect for my breakfast coffee!
We have blue and white for Thanksgiving, too -- and if we run out of other blue and white plates -- the turkey plates can be pinched for service at any time of the year. Spode ones on the left and Mynot ones on the right.
All blue and white go together, I think -- some Spode, Indies, the Wedgwood, Blue Willow, and an odd platter.
The little pot, perfect for my morning coffee or afternoon tea.
And my "affair" with blue and white extends to linens as well -- a toile tablecloth and jacquard napkins.
Centerpieces of bowls or pitchers add the "pretty" to my blue and white tables.
But then sometimes, I'll do all Spode -- cups and saucers, teapot, cake plate and dessert plates.

I love all blue and white dishes but do favor the English brands for tableware. I don't think I can ever have too much!

And not only do all blues go together but blue goes with EVERY other color -- so I have unlimited choices in the kinds and colors of flowers for centerpieces and unlimited choices for tablecloths and napkins.
