Two large plates and two large soup bowls in the Melbourne pattern by Gildea and Walker, dated 1881-1885.....in perfect condition with only mild utensil marks......!!!
Next, I found 2 plates, 2 soup bowls, 2 little berry bowls and 1 oval vegetable bowl in Purple transferware by Clarice Cliff........
I also found 2 cups and saucers in brown, called Wild Turkeys, Windsor Ware by Johnson Bros. to go with the brown transferware pieces.....inside the cup is a turkey with purple on its wings and body, forgot to take a pic of those!!!! They will go with both sets.....the brown is so close to the purple color, no one will notice!!!
I've been busy with gardens, lawn care and general stuff so have not visited in here as often, but will be back soon!!! Thanks for stopping by..........

What wonderful finds and all in such great condition! I'm amazed by the plates & bowls from the 1800s...wow! The purple transferware is so pretty. Your antiquing weekend went very well!
What a great find! I like the colour too. Enjoy your pretty new dishes!!
Oh wow - what fabulous finds! You're right - they will be perfect in a fall tablescape.
You had even better luck than I did!! I see the Clarice Cliff in the purple occasionally - am tempted to pick it up, but trying to just do the brown. Your aesthetic era pieces are wonderful. Sally
I love transferware and every piece is fabulous. Great finds.
Great finds and I really like the purple transferware. I am always searching for them but the ones I find are always too expensive....christine

What wonderful finds!!! I would be thrilled! I hope you're having a wonderful summer. Thanks for letting me know you popped by!
Wow, what great finds! Love it all. The purple transferware is amazing! I have a few pieces of red and I love them. I also have a couple of Johnson Bros. plates with a turkey on them that I found thrifting. Love them for Fall and Thanksgiving.

Hi Cleo! So nice to hear from you! Absolutely marvelous pieces! I just love that color and it seems hard to find! We sound a little crazy, don't we? But those little grandbabies are growing up so fast and I want to really be a part of their lives. Thanks always for being such a sweet blog friend.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Beautiful finds ! :)
