Thing is china is such a new thing to me that I just don't know where to start. I've been trawling eBay looking at china patterns and one I like is Paragon "rockingham" which featues incredibly over the top filigree type decoration and pictures of birds. It comes in both red and green and there seems to be a fair bit about.
I've even seen a few pink and yellow pieces though these seem to be much rarer.
Probably too grand for me but I've enjoyed looking at it.
On the other hand, I also love this deco design. Its more homely and yet much rarer. It makes me smile just looking at it:
I think this might be the one.
If you're starting to collect china one of the best recommendations I would make is buy what you like! But I warn you, it's addictive! On the other hand it will not lose money so you can always sell!
ReplyDeleteThought I'd say 'hello' as I found your lovely blog today and have enjoyed reading your past posts :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Straight Talking Mama, collecting vintage china IS very addictive; it soon spirals out of control!
Oh wow, that teapot is heavenly!!
ReplyDeleteHello all.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've just bought an entire tea set in the sunburst pattern at the bottom. Probably a bit overpriced but I am having a glum day and though i'd buy myself something beautiful and cheering. I'm so excited for it to arrive now!
