Martha hosts this beautiful site each week and today I am enjoying the loveliness of my inherited china from Lynn's mother....
When I got married the style was mainly white and very simple china with a band of pale flowers around the rim..... I liked it then, but alas, for a very short time.. and I had 12 settings of the stuff.... After a short while I realized I had a hankering for bolder colors.... and always admired my mother-in-law's, antique china....
Syracuse, federal shape, Portland china seems to speak to my inner self.... and I am thrilled to have 8 settings of this fine pattern...
oooh that is really lovely china! It does have a bolder pattern, and I love the Federal style share. I don't see that shape plate very often and it is so nice.

I also love the shape of your inherited china. The rose is gorgeous and Syracuse is still making lovely china and I would really like to go to their factory and see their outlet (maybe buy some!). I did the same thing when I married and picked Haviland's Rosalind with pink flowers and collected many pieces. While my parents were in England on a trip, I found an Aynsley pattern "Pembroke" with a bird and lots of bright colored flowers and purchased the set. My parents called and asked was there anything I wanted and I said serving pieces-the teapot and cream and sugar bowl! With in several months a shipment from England came and we unpacked what Mother had bought for herself and the "Pembroke" pieces. I still love the set and when see a piece I love adding more. Yes, we do change our minds but like you I love china with color now.
