Vintage blue and white dishes

are another one of my favorites in sets of dishware...........

 I always try to capture those beautiful hues of blue in my embroidery while working on designs like this. Tea pots are also cherished treasures I collect............either in dishware or in embroidery.I  stitched it on a little dish towel that has dark blue pin stripes running through it.

Do you have a favorite type of dishware that you like to collect?

 

I stitched the top rim of the pot and the spout, as well as  the knob on the lid in a darker blue. The flowers were embroidered in a lighter shade of blue.

I also embroidered the handle tip in a darker shade of blue. I almost embroidered the floral spray in blue and white, however, I wanted the tea pot to stand out...............the rose colored petals and green vine worked well with this............don't you think?

To finish it all up, I put a floral blue and white edge to the bottom of the towel along with a decorative blanket stitch.  It gives it a "cottage look"..........I think.

How about you?

Do you collect tea pots or blue and white dishware?

I would love to hear!
