Like this great tea set (or partial tea set) -- it's English, called Whieldon Ware and the pattern name is Antique. It is circa 1911 to 1914. I have 9 of the plates which are more luncheon plates than dessert plates, 3 cups and 4 saucers, a trivet, the sugar bowl (holding the flowers) and the cake plate -- all of this for $20!!! And the tea cloth also came from that same Estate Sale -- $2!!!
It's blue and white but it also has the pink flowers of my other favorite china (see last Thursday's post -- HERE
Friend Sally stopped by and of course, we had to have a cup of tea and a nosh!
Slices of coconut macaroon cake -- a coconutty pound cake that's really good and is a perfect tea treat!

Your estate sale tea set is beautiful - what a great bargain too. Coconut macaroon cake sounds wonderful - pound cake is perfect with a cup of tea.
Hi! I am visiting from Martha's and Terri's Tea Cup Tuesday. I love the unique shape of your plates. And the blue and white teapot is just perfect. You have set up everything just right. Great Job! I am your newest follower. *hugs*
Wow! What a delicious find, and what a great price.Your set is so pretty and as you said, it goes with other china you have. I like the pink added to the blue makes it a good set for any season.
Just beautiful!!
