Years ago when I married into the Colclough family, my dear mother-in-law told me about an old line of English china with that name. I scoured antique shops and looked for it at auctions and found a piece or two. Then Ebay made its grand entrance and I began to collect with a vengeance as did my sisters in law. But you know what? Somehow it was lots more fun to have to search and search for my treasures. If you're familiar with Royal Doulton, you'll notice that the shape of the cups is similar. Here is some of my collection showcased for Three or More Tuesday. I've purchased pieces from all over the country, Australia, and England. I wish I'd kept track of which pieces came from where. Which pattern do you prefer? The crinoline lady is my personal favorite.
Happy Three or More Thursday!

Your collection is exquisite! I bet everything has gone up in value as well.
ReplyDeleteMy collection is ruby red depression glass. When I go to antique stores now, I usually already own what is there and I didn't pay what they are currently asking. I use my collection all the time--even for bringing potluck to church.
Terri,
ReplyDeleteI love your collection - so very pretty.
It certainly makes a wonderful 'Three Or More' post. Thank you for participating and have a wonderful evening,
Tam
Very pretty dishes, the border pattern is lovely. I really like your wallcolor, it's a beautiful shade. Do you know what color it is?
ReplyDeleteYes, Tracy, it's a Behr brand from Home Depot. The color is Almond Toast. When we built, we used Devoe brand, very expensive. As I've repainted, I've used Behr and have been very pleased with the durability. And it helps to be able to shop until 9:00 p.m.
