Love ya, blue...

Love ya, blue used to be the Houston saying for our previous football team, the Houston Oilers. They have since moved to Tennessee and are now the Titans.

That has absolutely nothing to do with this post...it's just what popped into my head when I was trying to think of something catchy for a title. All of this to say that I wanted to share with you all out there in blogland that I have fallen in love with a set of blue dishes... in fact, head over heals in love.

Here they are: Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles ~ Blue



This is the dinner plate, it measures 10 inches in diameter and features Blarney Castle. I just love the rim with all its scrolls and petite flowers.



The salad plates are 8 inches in diameter and feature Chatsworth Castle.



The cup and saucer feature Ludlow Castle on one side and Nottingham Castle on the other.



The soup bowl measures 9 inches in diameter and features Windsor Castle.

And for those of you who adore pink, the pattern is also available in that color as well!



Hm... it's very pretty too!
Oh, man...decisions, decisions...

Today I'm linking with Smiling Sally's Blue Monday. Be sure to stop by for a visit for all things blue!


Enjoy your Monday!

  2. Sharlotte, I love transferware, and this is a very cool pattern. Castles would be fun to collect. Love it in both colors, but I really the blue best.

    Happy Blue Monday...

  6. I don't think there's anything as pretty as blue and white, and Sharlotte, those castles on those dishes make your set even more special. Happy Blue Monday.

  12. Some things endure the test of time and that china is a testament to that. My grandmother had a service for 8 and used it for years. The amazing thing is that no matter how often I see it it charms me. I loved this post. Have a great Blue Monday.

  14. Hi Sharlotte, Love ya blues is perfect for those dishes. I love Johnson Brothers dishes in any color but the blues are so traditional and So English. Very good for today's event.
