They make a beautiful display in the kitchen hutch. I have the rest stored in the cabinets where I can use them regularly. Otherwise, why have them? At least half of the enjoyment is in the using.
Johnson Brothers Ironstone. English Chippendale pattern.
The cups and saucers have beautiful lines.
As do the sugar and creamer.
Then there is the platter!
The plates are lovely to eat from. The whole family enjoyed doing just that this weekend as we celebrated my parents' 65th wedding anniversary.
And every day I enjoy my cereal, or cottage cheese, or ice cream.... in these bowls!
Have a wonderful day! I will, as I visit Kathleen for White Wednesday and Sue for Rednesday!

Hi Carol! Oh, hooray for you and those pretty dishes! I just love them! Isn't the shape of the platter so lovely! I really like your hutch too and it's so big. I know I could poke a lot of dishes in there.
How wonderful for your parents celebrating their 65 wedding anniversary! God bless them!
Be a sweetie,

First I love the hutch...just wonderful and then filled with these, well...just too die for.
Now I want to go look for dishes...what a wonderful and sweet hubby...and congratulations to your parents.
Oh mercy, they are gorgeous. Love the colors. So glad you use them too! We use every thing we own as well. Every day is a holiday and every meal is a feast.
What a good hubby to suggest that you get these lovely dishes. You probably needed some encouragement, too, as none of us wishes to spend too much these days. They certainly are beautiful in their new home.
Hi Carol,
Your new dishes are gorgeous! I'm so happy for you! And good for you for using them every day, that is the best way to gain enjoyment in having things, I think.
Hugs, Cindy
Carol,
The dishes are the prettiest I have seen - they are almost chintz in feeling aren't they? I love chintz and have collected a few pieces here and there. I also love that you use them and they are not just "for show" although they look gorgeous in your hutch. Thank you so much for the info on rainbow bread. My granddaughter just loved it and since they live in Amish country I'm forwarding your info to my daughter. Thanks again.

These are beautiful. Johnson Bros. makes some of the loveliest dishes. I am so glad that you use them, because yes, dishes are meant to be used and loved.

I'm not familiar with this Johnson Brothers pattern. I LOVE! Definitely use and enjoy them... but do be careful! :)
