Finding Lost China - 'Moss Rose Pattern' - Stamped Japan

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm excited to share 

forgotten China that was gifted to me by my Great Aunt Mary, my Grandpa's sister when she passed away in the 60's.

and packed away for safe keeping.

Unfortunately...........  

- two of the coffee pots were broken

After empting the tub I'm still missing a set of luncheon party plates and a tier tray. I'll keep looking!

But here is one of the small tea set,

another set with a little different design on the handle,

here are few odds and ends with the Rose Moss Floral print, that I have thrifted throughout the years to add to this collection.

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by 'My Little Colorado Cottage'. I hope you enjoyed seeing my vintage 'Moss Rose' China marked Japan. 

 I would love to hear about your collections, leave a comment down below. 

 So until my next post......

I Found Some Awesome Vintage Treasures! - Weekend Yard Sale

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! I went to a yardsale this weekend and just wanted to share what I found.

***

I actually found many items to expand a few of my vintage collections, but today I want to share a great find!

 

 'White Ceramic Hen Napkin Holder with egg shaped Salt and Pepper Shakers' ($3.00)

I'm not sure if this one is newer there is no markings and the shakers have plastic stoppers

You all know I pick-up 1940-1950's Hens/Roosters when I find them at a reasonable price.

***

I do have a vintage 1960's Hen Napkin Holder without the Egg Shakers.

It has a mark on the bottom...

It's a slight larger...

Similar feather details...

What do you think?

I have styled the Hens in the Kitchen above my cabinets.

***

I also found these plate holders in a box of miscellanous items. The gentleman threw the large plate holders in for free!, I'll be putting them in my stash for later use. This measured for a plate close to 12"

***

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week.

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home.
