Last week when I posted a formal luncheon in my dining room for Tablescape Thursday, several people asked me for a closer look at the dishes in my corner cabinet. So here they are. :)
I tend to change out the dishes here a few times a year. Right now, the cabinet is filled with red transferware and white milk glass. The transferware is mostly reproduction Spode, with a few vintage and antique pieces thrown in.
The milk glass is beginning to take over.
My kids think this cow creamer is kind of creepy, but I just love it. In fact, if I'm not careful, I might easily begin to collect these. ;)
The milk glass pieces appeal to my frugal nature -- none cost more than $28. and most were in the 50 cent to $4. range.
I found this little sugar bowl, minus it's lid, at a rummage sale. I think it was $1.50.
A few antique books help to stagger the heights of the pieces.
I think I've finally reached critical mass here. One more piece and the whole thing will come down. lol
Anyway, that's my little corner cabinet. I will probably change everything out this spring with some flowered dishes.
Stay tuned. :)

Your milk glass collection is very nice. Your piecies are lovely and not just the cheap vases from florests you often find in thrift stores. I love the transferware, too. I have a couple of piecies in blue and white. You will have to show us again when you change out for spring.
ReplyDeleteOh you have such a knack for decorating. I would love to meander through your little red house. Now I remember my mother had something like that cow once upon a time. (She collects pitchers.) I wonder where it went, I shall have to ask her.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your milk glass!!I also collect it,it's just so pretty....Kathy
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me to get my milkglass out and display them! This is the perfect time of year to show them off, they seem so clean and fresh with all of the brown outside right now. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteit is all so pretty. I do hate to dust though, do you do your own? arg.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What I love is that you have chosen to use wallpaper - a fear for some but it looks gorgeous in your home!

I love your corner cabinet. I have a few pieces of milk glass tucked away. I shall have to use them in a tablescape. Maybe spring.....

Your red transferware and milk glass collections are so pretty together in the corner cabinet. I especially like your lidded milk glass pieces.
ReplyDeleteI've learned so much about how to arrange a hutch or table or cabinet from your photos. I have many of the same things but it's how you arrange them that makes them look so good!
ReplyDeleteOH...so pretty...I'm usually drawn more to the blues...but these look FABULOUS!

ReplyDeleteBlessings!

Mary, My heart just skipped a beat! I love both red transferware and milk glass. I have one of my guest bedrooms accented with antique milkglass. Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is beautiful, informative, and inspirational. I have become a new follower!

That's really beautiful and I shall look forward to when you change things about too!!
ReplyDeleteYou do have some wonderful pieces of milk glass. My mom had some nice pieces that one of my nieces now has for her home. I like your corner cabinet!
ReplyDeleteI collect milk glass too...when I see someone elses collection I am always amazed at how many beautiful pieces and patterns there are that I have never seen before...very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love how the milk glass pops against the dark wood and red and white plates. It looks beautiful Mary:>)
ReplyDeleteI love your corner cabinet, Mary....I just started collecting pink transferware and I adore it.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of milk glass from my late MIL....never thought of displaying it....you've given me some ideas, thanks.
How wonderful and beautiful! I adore milk glass myself. I've only recently started collecting it and have only a few pieces. It can be so addicting!
ReplyDeleteLovely! You've inspired me to change out my corner hutch in the dining room. Thinking about it right now!!! Every time I see milk glass I think of you and think how much fun it would be to share it with you. Come this way for a visit - we could have such fun! ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeletevery pretty, I love the dinnerware! But....do you have someone dust for you or are you the duster? LOL, that would be the end of me...having to dust all of those pretties! have a wonderful weekend! smiles across the miles lindalu
ReplyDeleteIt really is pretty. It's so you.
ReplyDeleteAnd the cow is lovely. Not creepy.
Love milk glass....just goes with everything!
ReplyDeletexo,

Loved the bigger pictures, Mary. Wish I knew how you DO that. I can't get the photos bigger on my blog. Yours look so very beautiful. Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy my visits to your house! Your collections are lovely.
ReplyDeleteMary, I love the look of your blog, too.
Is there someone you worked with to make the changes? What I like is the bar along the top to link your pages. Very clean and nice.
hugs,
Becky
when you change your dishes out where do you put the ones not on display?
ReplyDeleteIt's alright with me if you want to start collecting cow creamers. I love them! I love it all Mary!
ReplyDeleteI love your transferware! And that cow creamer is one of the cutest I've seen.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous collection! I collect red transferware, too. I'm quite sure I saw a bit of Pink Tower in there, as well as some lovely Johnson Brothers. The creamer is adorable!
ReplyDeleteGood combination of red and white, and love your angles and photography.
