Hello All!
Time again for Tea Cup Tuesday!
I was lucky and did find a few new cups on my trip!
Yay!
Today I am sharing a 4 piece place setting of Johnson Bros. China
Found in a Salvation Army shop in Newmarket, Ontario.
I have always loved thistles. They are so beautiful.
Seeing these lovely thistles on this china made me stop and smile : )
There were quite a few, and I chose a setting of four to take home with me.
The coloring looks lovely in a holiday setting.
The silver trim adds to the wintry feel.
The oval shape of the plates is an extra treat for this set.
I find this shape charming!
This is the backstamp.
I have looked it up in my books, and some on line, but did not find one with the
1 and S. Anyone out there specialize in Johnson Bros?
If I had to guess, I would put them around 1940(ish).
I am quite tickled to bring this set home from our travels!
: )
Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit today
and for sharing tea with me!
I am thrilled you were here!
Would you like to join in and share a tea cup?
Just go and prepare a post with your tea cup in it,
Then come back here and link up below.
Martha and I love to come and see your lovely china and tea.
She is needing your prayers and good thoughts for her husband and family,
and will be taking another week off T.T.
Hugs,
Terri

Your teacups are always so pretty, Terri. Happy New Year!.....Christine
ReplyDeleteNewmarket??? that was pretty close, next time stop in for a cup of tea. Probably 35 miles, maybe 40 depending where in Newmarket. We could have posted each other. Enjoyed your post, God bless and Happy New Years...
ReplyDeleteTerri I really love that set - and you are right, it is wintry looking, yet isn't, either - perfect colour combinations - it is a truly soothing colour scheme!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure you found!
Thank you for hosting.

We are still 2 1/2 to 3 hours from Toronto located on the Bruce Peninsula between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay I love Tea Cups and Tea so I am looking forward to dropping in to see your ever post.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful find in the Salvation Army store in spotting those thistle teacups. They would look so pretty in any setting. I would love to link up, Terri!
ReplyDeleteThese really do a have that "wintry" feel. So nice! I love the joy of collecting new tea cups. :)

I love your gorgeous thistle teaset by Johnson Brothers. The thistle is found in so many locations and they differ so much from short to tall plants. I like the idea of an oval shape and makes this set lovely and unusual.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to You and Your Fammily!

Hi Terri,
ReplyDeleteso sorry to read that Martha needs prayers. I will for sure pray for her. Thats not a nice start for her.
Your new finds are wonderful. How outstanding is an oval shape and the thistles look really winterly and calm. I love china with silver trims, its so seldom. Thank you for sharing this wonderful set and for hosting this sweet event.
Best greetings, Johanna
What a lovely silver thistle pattern! It has such a soft and soothing look to it, which is not what usually comes to mind when thinking of thistles. :-) Thank you for hosting this virtual tea party each week.
ReplyDeleteHi Terri,
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with Martha and her family. Love your new thistle teacups & saucers. What a fabulous find! Thanks for hosting. Wishing you all the best in 2013!
hugs,
Lisa
So gorgeous Terri! I love thistles too! Did you know they are the flower of Scotland?
ReplyDeleteWhen my Dad passed away - we tucked a dried thistle in his suit lapel and we also had thistles engraved on his grave headstone. Perfect flower! ;)
I love thistles and have Scotish roots so I am very jealous of your beautiful finds.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love the soft, neutrals....great find Terri!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing..and for visiting.
Hope you're having a wonderful year thus far.
ciao bella

Greetings Terri ...
ReplyDeleteIt's grand to share teatime once again.. Your Johnson Bros. sets are gorgeous ... The simplicity and balance of image and colour is very dreamy ... I too, love the Scottish thistle, and at first thought it was a dandelion with a fluffy seed head... either way I think it's a gorgeous addition to a your collection and a unique find.. Happy New Year.!!!!
thank you for sharing a cup of tea with us! This is a very chique cup I think! Have a nice day!!
ReplyDeleteHi Terri,
ReplyDeleteI like the silver trim on cups as it makes them look more elegant. The plant of your cup reminds me of make up brush--so soft and gentle.
Love the motto on the tag of the tea bag. Yes, we always need to live in the NOW as past has gone and the future is not yet. Happiness is in the NOW.
Hello Terri! Your new teacups are lovely, I like them a lot.
ReplyDeleteI want to wish you a Happy New Year. I have been a bit lazy with the blog lately because we are in summer vacations but I'll sure join your great party soon.
Besos!
