Grandma Hester loved crockery.
It was a special treat when she used it.
Still today when we sit in a restaurant and my meal is delivered I touch the plate to feel its texture.

Today we share her WH Grindley dinner set.
 |
WH Grindley was an English pottery company founded in 1880 by William Harry Grindley of Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent.
His partner was Alfred Meakin and when the partnership ended in 1884 William continued alone until his in 1926. |
I am absolutely in love with The Chester set from Grindley.
 |
I just love the bright yellow rims and the little blue decor in it.
So unpretentious and ideal to serve a fabulous dinner in it. |
 |
The details of the decoration on the plates.
Look at the little yellow flowers in the pattern.
It reminds of Art Deco and it is a bit forward thinking way back in 1920 and 1930 |
 |
| The design looks fresh with a touch of whimsical but up to the minute |
 |
| The plates put up a show |
Till next time
