Any time one of my mom’s dishes chips or has damage she uses it as a saucer under a houseplant! That way you can still enjoy the pattern & put it to use, and your plants look so fancy.
I do the same. It's so much prettier than the plastic trays.
This beautiful china couldn't have gone to a better home, that would appreciate it more. I love seeing it set for tea, for your young family.
I have never forgotten the time we were invited to a older widow home after church for lunch. When we arrived, her dining room table was set with crystal and fine china. My four children were 10 and under, I was having a panic attack. This kind lady said: "I have found that children always rise to the occasion and if anything is broken it is not worrisome." I was amazed how special the children felt and well behaved at the table they were. It was a great lesson.
Amen!! They absolutely rise to the occasion and feel so special when we use our nice things 💙
found this... "Quebec" semi-porcelain Made in late 1800s by Ridgways, England.
Ridgways was one of the English potteries, later became part of the Royal Doulton group of companies.
My wedding China is royal doulton old country roses. Been using it for 35 years and it’s as beautiful as the day I got it!
I love vintage china. What a find! The serving pieces are just georgous! The blue and white floral is just a classic - it will never go out of style.
Just an idea: I love using old plates as garden edging in my flower bed. A fun way way to enjoy the cracked ones💕
Nice idea!!! I have a post war house and that would be authentic & fun & functional
Have you seen Nicole Northgarden's flower wash tub? Another way to use plates you can't eat on.
Hilary, those dishes are stunning 🤩 You definitely stumbled across a gem.
When you store them make sure you put coffee filters between each plate. It’s a cost effective protective tip.
I have blue and white dishes, I believe they are blue flow, we had them authenticated they now must be close to 130 years old. We ate all our holiday meals on them as kids and with my own family we have as well. Love your dishes!
Blue, White & Gold - a stunning combination! Your Sunday brunch looked absolutely scrumptious!
Hillary, the 5 piece place setting pieces that you have are the dinner plate, salad plate, bread and butter plate, and cup and saucer. The rimmed soup is also used for salad, especially if the salad plate will be used later in the meal for dessert, as is sometimes the fruit bowl, which of course, could have other responsibilities on your table! The china is beautiful and you will embed so many wonderful memories in it! Happy to see your appreciation for such a beautiful set!
Oh how gorgeous and what a find!! The smaller plates, if they are smaller than the dessert plates, are probably bread and butter plates. I would use the cracked pieces to put under house plants. Tea parties are always the greatest!!
You used the correct word, stunning!
What an exciting find! The pattern is so beautiful. I wonder what it’s history is that no one even bothered to clean it first before trying to sell it. What a good eye you have to see beyond the grime.
On a totally unrelated topic. I used frozen ginger last night when I was fixing dinner. I got that tip from you. It’s been a real game-changer as I always have ginger at the ready!
Blessings to you, and your family.
Glad to hear that, I’m grateful to whoever I heard it from too ☺️
What a gorgeous set…the smaller bowls are actually fruit bowls..I have a full set that includes these bowls as once upon a time when these were used every day as part of the main meal…it also looks to be fine bone china which is a sign of quality in an older set such as yours…the name Quebec is the pattern of china so it makes it easier to research…absolutely great find…they certainly don’t make the sets like these nowadays…🥰🇦🇺
Oh, those dishes are stunning! What a treasure you have found! Enjoy using them with your sweet family and friends!
This is such a gorgeous collection!!! Beautifully curated for your home. (And I adored your blue and white outfit whilst washing them!!😁)
I love the dishes!!! They are so beautiful.
Your table setting was so lovely, very inviting and so pleasing to the eye.!!!💕🙌
That set is absolutely PERFECT for you and your home. They scream Hilary! Do happy you found them.
The new dishes are stunning!! It's funny how you kept walking by them and finally decided you had to have them. I can certainly understand that. They would be hard to pass up, for sure. The blue and white is lovely and your table looked so beautiful set with all the new china. My mother had the other set of china you are planning to donate so it was a nice memory to see it as well.
What a find Hilary! Such a beautiful, beautiful set of china!! It looks like something you'd ' see in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Such lovely, elegant pieces. made with such artistry and craftsmanship. Enjoy them! 💙🤍💙
So nice to see you use dishes. So many times we save pieces and never end up enjoying them ourselves.
An exquisite collection of dishware
WOW Hilary! You have the best luck finding the MOST beautiful thrifty finds! Love your new set!
What a find! Just lovely.
The china us absolutely gorgeous, I would not have passed it up either! ❤️👍
They are beautiful. Enjoy in good health.
Those are beautiful dishes
I have a lot of china too.
That pattern is beautiful and goes with your home perfectly.
It’s a beautiful and charming set of China Hillary! What a find!
what a sweet set. i love blue and white, too!
Your dishes are beautiful!
One of the most beautiful sets I have seen
Really lovely china set. Great find, and one that you and your family will enjoy for years.
Love your "new" dishes!
Beautiful dishes! Having a fancy meal with special dishes is always a treat. Many thanks for the video.
The china is beautiful! It’s so nice to see you using in your everyday life.
Love the new dishes! Such a pretty set. Dishes are my weakness. Love all of the accessories too. So lovely. 😍
That is beautiful… What a giant collection, too! I like that the center of the plates are white. I think it looks better when plating food!
Those dishes!!!!!!! Oh my how beautiful!!!! Amazing find :)
What a great find! I absolutely love that you make good use of the things that you buy like this. The colors are absolutely beautiful as well❤️
Beautiful set! Maybe you will need an additional China cabinet! I donate my broken pieces to a local mosaic person. She also does classes and will prep your own pieces for you if you want to use them yourself.
Very cool!
It’s beautiful!!! Enjoy!!! God bless! ❤️🙏🏻 see you soon!
Those dishes are stunning. I love the fact that you use them.
Oh what a find! Hilary,absolutely stunning
Beautiful Hilary & what fun to be using!
Wow! That’s an amazing find!! So pretty!!
I love how joyful you get when you find something beautiful and makes your heart sing. Enjoy your new china and so glad you tested for lead. Take care Hilary.
Beautiful! Lovely table setting 💙
They’re stunning! 😍
Absolutely gorgeous dishes!! What a find!!
I have an obsession with dishes! I just don't have anywhere to store them all! I have a white Mikasa everyday set I love, a Fiestaware set and a set from my grandmother. I see so many I would love to buy!
Hilary the dishes are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
I love the china! I wish my daughter's would use good china because I collected and saved some for them.
That set is absolutely beautiful.
That set is gorgeous!!
Gorgeous dishes
I looked up your beautiful china and it was made in England in the late 1800s. Gorgeous
What a lovely tea party,and perfect china. Love it!
Very pretty. You are a GREAT home maker!!
Absolutely gorgeous dishes set
Great find so gorgeous
Hillary that is such a beautiful set a dishes, and I think you made a very wise decision of which set to keep in which one to let go!
How very satisfying to wash these beautiful dishes and give them a new life. Love blue & white... always timeless.
I absolutely LOVE those dishes!
Beautiful set!,, enjoy! I love adding my crocked pottery in my flower pots or if I can I use them as planters.
What a beautiful set!
Ridgways Pottery is made in Staffordshire, England. Quebec will be the design 😊
It’s a beautiful set of China! Great find!
So beautiful Hilary!
Congratulations on a great find. Good for you I wasn't around or I probably would have bought it first. Beautiful and so many good pieces. There are china restorers who can repair things like the lid to your (vegetable?)tureen. Not everything is fixable of course. Enjoy it, love it, find more of it! But once this has happened to you, don't be surprised if you go looking for something else. It never ends.....
Beautiful
Oh Hilary! I’m so excited for you. What a spectacular set! I’ve collected vintage dishes for decades and this one is absolutely beautiful. The fact that it includes even the gravy boat and saucer is a plus. Those smaller dessert plates are also nice as bread/roll and butter plates at the upper right of the dinner plate, or for crudities servings. Many of my vintage plates sadly tested for lead, but not all. Enjoy your sweet set! 💙🤍💙
Your new dishes are beautiful!. Your could break up the damaged plate and use it in a mosaic and continue to enjoy its lovely pattern. tfs
What an incredible find!! That is a beautiful set. The small plates are bread n butter / desert plates. I used to have a china set that was 6 piece place setting of dinner plate, salad plate, desert/bread plate, soup/pasta bowl, cup and saucer. It had quite a few serving pieces too. Round platter, oval platter, covered casserole server, gravy boat w/ attached base, round and oval serving bowls and a divided serving bowl. I gifted the whole service for 12 to my daughter a few yrs ago. It was her inheritance.
The dishes are beautiful a great find!!!!
That pattern is especially pretty and looks lovely on the table. You should research it. You may find more.
Absolutely gorgeous dishes, Hilary! You could save the broken ones to make a mosaic “tile” top on an old table. There are also online sites that offer individual pieces of vintage and antique china patterns. Of course, I have no idea if this pattern is available anywhere, but wanted to mention it in case you wanted to look for other pieces - maybe even a replacement lid for that one dish. Blessings!❤️
Hilary...you could take the broken plates and put it in a bag, hit it with a hammer and break it intopieces ...then add it to a plain white vase with ceramic glue...to make a mosaic style vase for your table. OR you could start "collection of chippy dishes, then do a cement top collage of pretty pieces of china to create an outdoors patio table top.
Oh, my! How beautiful!
You have a good eye for a good buy.....beautiful set of china...
What a nice video! You could be a great museum curator! You have the ability to share
your appreciation for this antique china in such a nice and interesting way!
Apologies for my particular sense of humor...
but can you imagine if you were all in the middle of a big family dinner, and your mother-in-law stops eating and says:
"Um, Hillary, dear...I believe my plate has a CRACK in it..."
Da dum DUUUMM!!! Oh nooooo...!!
Ha ha, and sorry for that! 😄 But I really enjoyed your video! Thank you!
That dish set is gorgeous!! How more wasn’t broken the way they had it I don’t know. But glad it wasn’t. 😊
Right!
You can make a cute little mosaic art work with the. Broken plate . Beautiful set indeed!
Kintsugi
Library & Books!
Beautiful! 🤩
Wow! What a great find, the blue and white dishes are stunning. I love that you don't just display them, you use them. Your table setting looked so pretty.
They’re beautiful!
Thanks for linking a lead test kit! My mom passed and we have a bunch of vintage dishes that I want to make sure are safe!
So glad to see lead testing on vintage dishes. Bravo!
What a fantastic find. 👏
So pretty. Made me sad at first to see what was probably someone's wedding china all dirty and forgotten about :( Glad you gave it a good home. I use all my good china and silver everyday. There isn't a need to "save" it for special occasions. Food looks and tastes better on pretty plates and silverware, don't know why but to me it does. Enjoy all your nice things, thats what lifes about, hugs from PA!
Gorgeous find!
Ohhhh! The China is beautiful!
Oh Hillary, what a find! I am so happy for you! I know you will enjoy them for many years!
what a gorgeous set of dishes!
Beautiful dishes!!! Enjoy😊
Wow. What a beautiful find.
Oh my god! I wouldn’t left it behind either!
I love it!!! And using it often is perfect!!!
Absolutely beautiful set!!
