I know that I do not need more stuff. But sometimes it is hard to help myself. Especially when something so rare is available. I bought about 58 pieces of Spode Herring's Hunt at an auction around 40 years ago. I have only added about 6 pieces since. That is until now.
I had been watching these soup bowls and saucers for several weeks. I eventually decided that I would be more upset by not getting them than getting them. So I bought them.
I didn't realize it from the Ebay pictures,
but the bowls have two images.
Plus, there is an image on the saucers.
I think they look amazing with my collection. I was very curious as to where the seller had gotten them since I rarely see any of this pattern. So sent her this picture and asked. This was her reply...
This is so beautiful and warms my heart!
Yes this is my story these were handed down thru generations in our family who were from Virginia.I do have more of this pattern and people have begged to purchase.I remember going into my great grandmother’s parlor and admiring her pretties!I am going to let go of the coffee service in this pattern!We just moved from a 4 story home in NH full of treasures to a one story home in Vero Beach!I am purging ..These may have made their way from England …
Now I will have more to be on the look out for.
