Blue and white obsession?

I hope everyone has had a happy Easter holiday.  I haven't had any finds over the holidays so I thought I'd post about some of my blue and white instead. 

Here is a wall display in my lounge, the clock in the centre is a treasured possesion - it belonged to my maternal Grandparents Clara and Jack Dunn.  It is a hundred years old and I love it!  It keeps perfect time too.
The plates are by two makers, Booths and Royal Cauldon.
(Don't forget you can enlarge any photo by clicking on it).

The little mouse on the bottom right hand side of the clock is the one that ran up it.....you know, Hickory, Dickory Dock, the mouse ran up the clock!  (He looks a happy and relaxed little soul doesn't he?)

I love the thistle design on the pendulum. 

This is one of the larger 10" 'Booths' plates on the outside of the display.

An 8" Booths plate inside bottom of display,

This is one of the Royal Cauldon saucers from top inside position.

I love the blue dragons on all of these, and that the patterns are so similar to each other though the shades of blue are slightly different.

These are from my dining room.  The outside two 10" and bottom centre are 8" all Royal Cauldon plates.

The sandwich plate on the top is a Enoch & Ralph Woods Seaforth design

Here is the display from the top of my 'hostess' trolley in the dining room.

This is one of my best ever finds....Spode, Blue Italian 6 pint soup tureen purchased last year from a charity shop for £10! (Just need to track down a ladle now) The ramekin is also the same pattern and shown in a earlier post (£1)

This was another 'find' solid silver Mappin &Webb dish for £5

I got this Coalport 'Ironbridge' dish in the same haul last year for £1.50 - we live about 17 miles from the real Ironbridge.

This is the Copeland Spode (£3) Willow pattern jug I mentioned on an earlier post.

The lillies are made from sugar and were a gift from my Sister in Law, Joy who makes these beautiful sugarcraft flowers and decorates cakes as a hobby.

I hope you've enjoyed looking at some of my blue and white obsession.  I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment please - I really appreciate and enjoy reading them very much.

Thank you for joining me, best wishes.
