I love dishes of all colors and patterns, but my all-time favorite is blue and white. On August 9, 2012 I blogged about a five-piece tea set I purchased from Bombay Company, and I'm featuring it again today. I was gifted with the matching tea strainer later.
Just before the store closed, I purchased a jar in the same pattern to use as a tea canister.
The reason I'm repeating a post about the tea set is because I recently acquired two teacups and saucers on E-bay to match it. They were reasonably priced [$15.99 for the two plus shipping], and I'm happy to have them.
The set continues to grow. If I find two luncheon plates I'll consider the set complete.
I'm hoping my hubby will build me a wall of shelves [floor to ceiling] in our living room to display my blue and white china. I gave him photos of my vision on Sunday [thank you, Pinterest!]. I'll keep you posted on the project!

This is such a pretty set! I'm glad to see you found two matching cups. Wishing you good luck with finding more pieces!
ReplyDeleteAn elegant pattern, and I hope you find a couple of matching luncheon plates.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning pattern. I love the blue. Hope you can find all the rest of the pieces. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteGoodness! I didn't know it was still available. Got a set from them in the 1990s 'cuz it's blue and white. Did the whole chain close? I liked their stuff. Lovely!

what a beautiful set. Hope you find the matching pieces you want. They are out there I am sure.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I do love blue and white. I hope you can find the plates you want. And the shelves sound like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! I am feeling a bit of covetousness coming on here, blue & white china is my all time favorite. I do have a lot of blue & white china but have never seen this pattern before. I hope you find the luncheon plates and floor to ceiling shelves displaying it will be stunning !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love your blue and white!
ReplyDeleteOh, I remember the Bombay Company and haven't thought of them in years! What a lovely set -- I'll keep my eyes peeled for your plates!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I also bought my blue and white tea set around 2010 from Bombay and today I used it for the first time! I had tea for one, very simple, green tea that had been given time for my birthday and cranberry muffin. It was delightful. I didn't know the company had closed. I would love to send you a picture. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have the teapot, creamer and sugar... but instead of tea cups, I have a set of pedestal coffee mugs... still love them after all these years
