For the Love of Transferware Teacups

Hello Everyone,
    As many of you know I love transferware dishes so I thought I would show you some of my different colored teacups today.







I collect mainly red and white transferware but can never resist the other colors when I see them at thrift shops etc.

Thes were a yardsale find.




Some of them are old and some are new but they are all pretty to me! Do you have a favorite color transferware pattern that you like to collect?
Today I am joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday and My Romantic Home for Show and Tell.
Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

    Hello Carolyn!
    I don't have a favorite pattern of transferware, but I sure do admire it.
    So many nice patterns and now different colors.
    I'll have to keep an look out for cups and saucers.

    You have some very nice pieces to enjoy. Beautiful pictures you share.
    God bless,
    d

    Some breathtaking beauties, here! What lovely patterns evoking a sense of past generations and teatimes. Your photography is lovely - still can't get over those frosted roses!

    May I also say how much I enjoy your music selection - the haunting, ancient sounds of Celtic song and instruments . . . my world . . .

    Joy!

    Carolyn... all your teacups are so so pretty! Can't decide which one is my favorite! They're all so pretty! And what a collection you must have!

    Enjoy!

    Ps: give Lucas a big hug for me would you....

    Love and blessings

    I love transferware, all of it, most colours but am slightly enamoured with the blue. You have a lovely collection.

    You have some really pretty designs, I've always liked the red transfer ware but my absolute favourite of the ones you've shown is the cup with the little cabin in the snow. Is it a modern design or an old one?

    I love them all Carolyn but my favourite transfer ware has to be blue and white or the last one in mauve - just gorgeous.

    Carolyn, you have the BEST collection in transferware ever! They are all so pretty, it would be hard to pick a favorite but I do collect the red and white. ~Hugs, Patti

    Happy Friday, Carolyn!

    Well, you know that I love ALL transferware patterns - it is an addiction, I'm afraid. You have such unusual colours (I don't think I've ever before seen the teal, for example). My heart still belongs to the pink, though, which may be somewhat of a blessing in disguise as it helps me keep this passion under control. Maybe one day, we'll see your 'Teapots on Parade'... I'll be watching, my friend! Haha

    Wishing you and yours a beautiful fall weekend,

    Linda at Beautiful Ideas

    Inspired by your fabulous collection, I purchased my first 2 Red Transfer cup and saucer sets a few weeks back...have yet to photograph and share them yet though.

    Blessings Kelsie

    PS: Love the frosted roses in your banner...just lovely.

    Hi Carolyn,

    Your collection of transferware looks beautiful. I don't really have a favourite pattern.

    I wish you a happy weekend! We are off to the garden tomorrow, to empty the pots and plant some more bulbs.

    Lieve groet,

    OMGoodness, they are all lovely!! I was so surprise, though, to see your wintery scene set...the name is escaping me right now, but my father bought that set for my Nana back in the 60's when he got his first 'big' job!! I've never seen them anywhere else. I LOVE them, they mean so much to me. Would love to hear the story of how you came to have them!!

    They are all so lovely, I see them all the time at the thrift stores, but I don't buy them, I don't have any place to store them.
    My favorite are the black transfer ware and the red transfer ware.
    Have a good weekend,
    Hugs, Cindy

    Why do we love transferware so much? There's no answer ... we just do. My favorites are the brown and mulberry patterns. Makes me swoon, they do.

    Your collection is lovely. I've never seen the green before.

    Good afternoon Carolyn
    I am drooling over all of your transferware! My favourite is still red but your purple is a close second. I hope you are enjoying the warm Fall weather we are experiencing in Canada this year. Take care my East Coast friend!

    Hi Carolyn,
    Wasn't it a beautiful day! I love all transferware colours but of course you know my favourite is the red and white. Lovely photos. I never see the lavender around anywhere. You have such a wonderful collection. Thank you for tea yesterday. It was lovely!

    Blessings,

    Your photos are gorgeous eye candy for a fellow transfer ware addict. Red and Blue are my 2 favorites. Since I have too many dishes already I have resisted adding new colors...so thanks for sharing yours!

    Carolyn,
    I agree! They are all so pretty!
    I love the red and the blue ones and collect them myself but I do LOVE the ones in differnt colors. Maybe because they are a bit more rare.
    The first 2 that you showed are exquisite!!

    How is your grandson?

    Hugs,

    I visit often, but don't often leave a comment. These cups have sat on my mind since you posted them. I just love them and had no idea there were so many colors. Now I am on the search. Thanks for sharing them.

    Wow, Carolyn, what a beautiful collection of transferware you have. You must have been collecting it for years and years. I'm from Northern Ontario. I found and am now following you through Show And Tell Friday, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
