I always had a little table set up for tea in my bedroom, with my dolls. I still have it--not the table set up in my bedroom! I love it and have Staffordshire, delft, tons of dinner plates and lustre pitchers. You know, when the price is right, you pull the trigger. I love those little pitchers--well done. <br />Best, <br />LizDovecote Decorhttp://dovecotedecor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-83026904619741244612011-05-24T01:40:48.833-04:002011-05-24T01:40:48.833-04:00Well said; all of the above!

"The price was just too good to leave behind" - how many times have I caught myself saying that. A good indication of an addict, I fear, with the best possible taste of course.LizaEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324813392045814368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-47980483978850463162011-05-23T12:35:12.512-04:002011-05-23T12:35:12.512-04:00I think a new collection has begun!

In answer to your question, yes, mos...Hello Reggie:<br />In answer to your question, yes, most likely! But, whatever, these Sunderland jugs are so attractive, of such a good size [really tiny items do, in our view, look rather foolish and have no purpose other than to be decorative - and not always that], and are very pleasingly decorated. What is more, they have an interesting provenance and are, very obviously, in excellent condition, always an important factor. We shall be most interested to learn where, in Darlington House, you decide to display, or even use, them.<br /><br />Sunderland is, as you rightly remark, a very depressed area of Britain, along with much of the North East. Many years ago, whilst staying with friends in Durham City, we would make forays to Sunderland where, on a Saturday, an outside 'antique' market would provide all manner of treasures for very little money. Those days, we imagine, are possibly gone.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
