Brown & White Transferware Tablescape



                                                          Hello everyone,

              I hope you are enjoying a good week. We have been busy working on spring projects indoors so I have been a bit absent here this week.
    However, today I have set my table with  some of my brown and white transferware. As you might know I love transferware and have collected it in several colors here and there over the years.
                          This is one of my favorite pieces ~ my husband gave me this for my birthday a few years ago. It came from an antique mall in Maine.
                                   Once again, I have used mix and match pieces.
                                                  A pretty teapot.
                                                Some very old soup bowls.
                                              Mix and match again-just using what I have.




   I am off to have tea with friends this afternoon so I better go scrub the paint of my hands!

I am joining BNOTP today for Tablescape Thursday.
and French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday.

      Thank you for visiting,
           Carolyn

    I love transferware, and over the past few years brown has become one of my favorite colors. Your pieces are fantastic, and I really like that you mixed and matched. Thanks for taking the time to share!

    That table setting reminds me of my grandmother's brown Johnson Brothers dishes. Lucky me, they are mine now.

    Beautiful, Carolyn! Brown and white transferware is my favorite {although I love all the colors}. You may have a mix and match table, but they all work to me.

    I love brown transferware, too. Your collection is beautiful, and it's wonderful on the matelasse with the glorious blooms. I was fascinated to learn that at one point brown transferware fell totally out of favor. It evidently sat on store shelves so long that vendors starting calling it 'dead ware'. No longer! It's beautiful! Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay

    Oh Carolyn
    I love the transferware too but it's very hard to find where I am.
    The brown and white is my favorite colour way.
    Your oblong tureen is lovely!

    Sending you some summer sunbeams from my corner of the world!

    Dear Carolyn,
    Mixing and matching. That is the best way. More interesting, I think.
    Cherry Kay such information in the above comment about brown transferware falling out of favor. Wow. Interesting tid bit. I love it in all colors. Nancy's Daily Dish has amazing collections. I would love to have purple. My grandmother used to have a set of that.
    Love the tureen your hubby gave you.
