My Mum wasn't the sort of person to keep "things"! If something had outlived its usefulness, then it was given away or thrown out. I have very few items which belonged to her or my Granny. But I do have these!
Not sure whose they were. Mum liked "modern" things, so I think these must have been hidden away in a cupboard somewhere. I think they are beautiful. They must have meant something to her, otherwise she would never have kept them.
Don't think its her wedding china - a bit too old-fashioned for her taste. Perhaps they were given to her by someone - I'll never know now.
They are by James Kent Ltd and the pattern is Balmoral. I only have these two pieces.
Thought they looked nice with my gold and white cake stand.
Added a few more vintage bits and pieces.
They are all by different makers, but just look so pretty when grouped together.
Love, Liz

I love them your lucky you have something of your grans.
Hey Liz what a lovely collection of china, beautiful pieces. the sugar bowl and milk jug are so sweet.
I have a soft spot for floral china and have a few bits and pieces tucked away in a dresser. Unfortunately, it's not an open fronted dresser where I can display everything, but at least they're dust free. hehehe....
Do you use your china often or is it kept for best?
