I think I inherited it in my genes; my Mom bought it whenever she found it, and even bought "everyday" dishes from a restaurant supply place -- Homer Laughlin white ironstone, service for 24. She never got tired of it; it's not antique but it's pretty vintage, being more than 50 years old now.<br /><br />LOVE your new finds. AND best of all???? The picture of the new grandchild. Oh, you LUCKY lucky duck!<br /><br />What a wonderful blessing.<br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2122814025843246160.post-5364989997710929722012-09-24T21:34:45.749-05:002012-09-24T21:34:45.749-05:00I look for bits of ironstone myself.

Not old plates, but they have served us well for over 8 years. Alas the cups have bit the dust and the bowls too, but so be it. I've used and loved them and look for 'extras' any time I'm out.<br /><br />Love the look of the ironstone nestled amidst the garlands. I'm inspired to garland the pieces on my buffet.terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2122814025843246160.post-69471032049630856092012-09-23T19:43:33.336-05:002012-09-23T19:43:33.336-05:00I have some of these and I too grab them as often ...I have some of these and I too grab them as often as I can.
