Small Pyrex bowls - pretty but the designs didn't thrill me.
This one I liked very much - English Staffordshire dinner set, but at $3.49 a dinner plate, it was staying there. And I couldn't find the cups to go with the saucers, so couldn't even get a teaset out of it. (Today's whinge at Savers - WHY THE HELL DO YOU SEPARATE TEACUPS AND SAUCERS?!!!!) Yes I am yelling.
Just cute. I love that clear blue glaze. And boy do I need to rectify this no-camera situation.
Not my thing but most groovy!
Pretty New Zealand-made dinner set. 'Autumn Leaves' (I think) is the pattern.This is what I did end up taking home:
Japanese casserole pot with phallic mushrooms, lidless deery cookie jar, glass of orangey goodness and one of the cup and saucers from the 'Autumn Leaves' dinner set. (And a vintage sheet and pillowcase, more white ones for stitching, and a Jeff Buckley cd.) Also my crochet blankie. I also left a cute 50s wooden coffee table there, and was beaten to a wooden sewing box thingy on legs by a determined (read: aggressive) woman and her mother. Oh well, I was happy with Bambi.It should be noted that the $80 cannister set had gone... had someone bought it? Did they discount it first? Who knows?
Oh, we had (have) the cupless saucers in brown/orange at home, with solid orange cups. The cups have a narrow bottom and the saucers don't have a good rim, probably the cups are all gone? If you love them, keep an eye on solid cups in one of the colours on the saucer.
