Who knew???? Who knew that the old junk jewelry I had laying around would cause such a ruckus! We love our vintage jewelry don't we gals? Thanks for all your sweet comments. They made my week especially since Mr. Flu came rapping at my chamber door over the weekend. I am feeling a bit better today. My temperature is finally gone but I am left with a bothersome cough which apparently my vintage bladder can no longer tolerate. If you do not know what I mean by that, then you are too young to be reading this. Way too much information I know, so I will rapidly move this along.
How can you adore vintage kitchen things without loving old dishes? I have several mismatched pieces of depression glass and they are lovely, but I also like the 1970's dishes that were popular in the olive green and old gold (I'm sure there are more specific names for those colors, but you get my drift.)
I believe this green set is called the King's Crown pattern which was made by Anchor Hocking. Please correct me if I am wrong. I bought the plates and cups together but the six little stemware pieces (cordial or custard cups?) I bought in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, the original Mayberry. I like to pretend they were Aunt Bea's. I live in a happy little world.
I found this gold set in Banner Elk, North Carolina. The stemware with this set is older and not the same pattern. Vaseline glass maybe, (I've never tried the blacklight test so it may be a reproduction), but I thought they complimented the gold bubble pattern nicely. Actually all I really know about any of these dishes is that they made my skirt fly up and that is why I bought them.
Be sure to notice the tablecloth also, since it is a 1950's classic. Oops! There went my skirt again.
Suzanne at Colorado Lady hosts Vintage Thingies Thursday and I am just linking onto her for my fifteen seconds of fame every week. Please visit her site and view all the lovely vintage thingies which so many nice ladies share. Suzanne, I want those Avon pins!
Thanks for reading, Rosie.
You thought I would have a picture of Oscar didn't you? Didn't you?
Finally a little sunshine!

I love that old dinner ware, it is so lovely. And yes I know what you mean about the vintage bladder lol..mine is plum past vintage to antique...
Glad you're feeling better...I hate coughing too and sneezing isn't so great either! Love the green and gold dishes on the beautiful tablecloth :)
Hope you get over your coughing real soon..what a bother! Must say I love your depression glassware especially the green set..WOW!!
I have a few pieces of amber and more pink depression glass but that green is gorgeous. I don't see that around my neck of the woods. I hope you feel better soon.
Wonderful dishes, Rose, I can definitely see Aunt Bea serving us iced tea and a sandwich on them!
I think Vaseline glass is usually a limish green, isn't it?
Ooooo, I love your dishes, they're wonderful.Happy VTT.., and have a lovely day.
Oooh, Marilyn (Monroe), I mean, Rosie - watch that skirt!!! It's funny how, when I see a single piece of a place setting in a thrift shop, it doesn't catch my eye, but when it's all grouped together - so beautiful!
LOL @ the vintage bladder. Guess I'm not to young to get that. Darn this getting old, lol! Actually I'm not that old but with as many kids as I've had, my own bladder took a beating :0)
Love the tablescape...dishes and all! The tablecloth is after my heart and I also noticed that you and I have the same panels hanging on our windows :0). At least they look the same...Waverly Pantry Plaid in Crimson? :0)
I'm drooling over your dishes. How pretty they all are. I hope you get over your cough soon. Cute doggie picture. :)
Rosie....I was looking for Oscar....LOL. He looks like Sophie...she is sunning in front of the window too, working on her summer tan!!
I love all of your dishes, and the tables look lovely...I really am eyeing that wonderful tablecloth!!
Oh, and I have several more pins....will show them in a bit....maybe we can trade a box of pins for Oscar???
Vintage china and vintage tablecloths are my favorite items to collect! Lovely post.
I remember my mom having some of the green ones! Just like that.
And I have a dog like that. Just like that. ; ) He even got to sit in a sunbeam this week, whenever there wasn't a cat in it. lol
Love the depression glass sets and the tablecloth too!
Hope your feeling better soon--understand just what you mean! Tee,Hee!!
Have a wonderful week and Blessings to You!

Hey! Since you guys are so into old dishes, would anyone like to buy my old blue willow dishes we inherited from Kevin's grandmother? I think we have a full set for 4, plus lots of collector plates in the same blue and white colors.

Love the old greenware, I used to have a beautiful bowl-one of my sons broke it & I was so sad.
Blessings,
Roslyn
Hi, someone gave me 3 snack plates (no cups) like your green set today.
I'm pretty sure that it is the Crown/King's Crown/Thumbprint pattern (olive green), made by Indiana Glass in the 50's.

It's great that you have a full set!
