Not my usual choice, but I thought it looked really jolly -
it certainly brightened up a freezing Greenock morning for me.
Not sure if it is vintage or more recent, but I'm sure Miss Simmonds might be able to tell me.
Whether it is vintage or not, I think it would fit in with a
contemporary table setting as well as mixed with older pieces.
Now I've got to find a place for it - I want to show it off
- so I'm going to be an Op-Shop Show Off and join Max. Then I'm joining Lakota for TaDa!Tuesday. Come and join us.

Oh how cute those are!! Won't they be fun to use when Christmas rolls around again?
Sweet set!
These are marvelous. I love the polka dots. I would be doing my happy dance.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
How pretty is that? And perfect on your tablecloth. x
Well-spotted Liz! :)
You've had great finds in charity shops recently. I would guess they're modern judging by the pattern and backstamp but either way they're a very cute set.
Polka dots certainly bring a smile to everyone's face! Sometimes it just doesn't matter how old a piece is, just so long as YOU like it! Wendy
I just love red and white polka dot anything. What a find. xx
I like Dotty! :) x
That is gorgeous, I'd definitely have snapped that up too, and even jettisoned an existing tea set to make space for it! A great find.
I love it.
Love from Mum

Just checked my china cabinet - I have a few bits of that - 2 cups, saucers & plates and a jug & sugar bowl - very pretty - I think mine came from my Grandad as he was a big collector of bone china.
A fabulous Charity find, I love the dotty design.

Dear Liz
Ooh, they are gorgeous! I would definitely being doing a happy dance if I saw them! I have one plate of 'Red Domino' from the 1960s with red edging and white dots - wouldn't they be fabulous together? Enjoy your lovely set!
Best wishes

So lovely - what a great find!
You had more luck than me at the chazza's this morning. This set is just delightful, red polka dots are a favourite of mine.
So cheerful and sweet! It's fun picking things out that we don't usually gravitate towards, isn't it? :)
Too right you want to show them off,they are absolutely gorgeous!! My friend Sam would adore these, she loves red and white spot combos.
Very pretty xx
oh these are fun! I think I would enjoy my tea in these for a change! Heather x
Such a pretty tea set! I hope someday we may see it mismatched with other vintage china in full use.
I am obsessed with polka dots and I think that is fabulous!

I'm dotty about china teasets that one is peachey!(running out of descriptives for all this loveliness!!)'bye for now Pam.
ooh gorgeous, just gorgeous! i have such a weakness for polka dots, i would have had palpitations if i'd have spied these in an op-shop!
What a lovely looking set!
what a lucky find! just perfect and cheery~!
Perfect for comic relief, or indeed to match Marc Jacobs' latest handbag design that he's created for a Diet Coke competition! (I've just won one)
It's nice to change things up occasionally, can't be all about florals all the time!

According to the porcelain marks bible, these were most likely made between 1955 and 1962. I think they're gorgeous! Such a fantastic pattern xxx
