Yesterday I shared a recent find while I was treasure hunting, turns out it is French Blue Opaline.
I shared the photo on instagram and Amy from Maison Decor shared that it was not only pretty but French Blue Opaline hand blown from the 1920’s!
It’s absolutely beautiful,it will be hard to part with but it will be listed soon in the shop!

A few months ago my hair stylist had told me that she had a vintage dish set.
It belonged to her Grandmother,but it just was not her taste so she asked me if I would like it.
Well you know the answer to that!
So when I went to my hair cut appointment today she brought a huge tub filled with dishes.
I am still trying to sort through them all!
After going through it there are two different patterns,but both very similar.
They are made by Limoges USA.
One pattern is called Wild Rose and the other is China Rose.
They have a 22 kt gold trim.
I love the pretty scalloped design along with the sweet flowers.
The China rose pattern has more of a pink color and the Wild Rose pattern has more purple tones.
Only a few cups,but lots of saucers.
A pretty cream and sugar set and this sweet set of dessert or bread plates.
I am only showing a small portion of this collection.
As I said I am still trying to sort through it all and clean it up too.
Some petite berry bowls.
And some larger soup bowls.
I think it may have been a setting for 12?
Love this beautiful serving bowl.
And this petite tray,it was probably for the gravy boat.
Isn’t this pattern sweet.
It also came with a Gravy boat and small pitcher,but in a different pattern.
This pitcher is marked House of Webster made in Eastland Texas.
It was hard to read the stamp on the bottom.
I needed my daughter to read it too me, it is a bit faded and blurry.
I researched and found out the pattern is called Briar Rose.
Love this beautiful flowers on this set too.
So what am I going to do with all of this china?
Well I am going to sort through it and keep some of it,and the rest I will be adding to my shop.
I did not realize how big this set was and I really don’t have the room for all of it.
Hoping to add more items in the shop tomorrow.
That was so nice of your hairdresser to share those dishes with you. They are really pretty!

How beautiful, Anne! I would not have been able to part with it. Your hair stylist is stronger than me, for sure.
Thank you Lynn,I will be selling some of the pieces because I have no room for such a large set.
Lovely china, I actually have several pieces which I picked up here & there – love the delicate pattern. Check out Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic Couture website – she is selling the same pitcher in her vintage finds category.
Thank you Liz!
