Green Transfer Ware

Last month when Scott's Antique Market was in town, I purchased my first pieces of green transfer ware.  There was a lady there who had a nice variety of single patterns and pieces in a variety of colors and at great prices.  Who can resist that combination?  Not me ~ that's for sure.~The first piece I found is this delicate and lacy salad plate from the Ferndale pattern. 

I fell in love with this sweet pattern immediately.

The other piece I picked up was a tea cup and saucer from

 Enoch Wedgewood and the pattern is called "Kent".

I filled the tea cup with small ornaments so I would havean excuse to use it for a Christmas decoration ~

and paired it with white berries and candles.

I love this mixture of green and white shapes and textures.

Last year, soon after I started blogging, I began collecting brown transfer ware.  Then I discovered red, followed by purple.  And now there is green.Of the red and green, I only have a few pieces that I generally only bring out at Christmas time.I'm trying really hard not to succumb to blue transfer ware ~ which seems to offer some of the most beautiful patterns of all, and that lady had lots of them.  But ~ I was good and kept my purchases just to green and red.~ At least for now.
