My China Treasures and My Talented Great-Grandmother

This is my only "real" tea cup

So I cherish it very much

My  moms, mother
( my Grand mother's)
Tea cup
Given to me by my father
when my mother passed away

My very cherished china water pitcher

This is a piece from  my father's grandma
(my great grandma ) 

  She was a very special lady

She hand painted and decorated china for a living

She would make whole  hand-painted china sets

bought by families 

for their daughters wedding gift

painted by my  Great-grandmother Munck

three colors of grapes

Great Grandma Munck used real gold leaf
on various parts of the chins, but mostly on the rims

My grandmother signed all her work

I suppose the 3/22 is a date mark

this is my favorite floral design by my great-grandmother 

this creamer and sugar bowl 

are something I found at a thrift store

I just thought they were pretty 

R  & S printed on the bottom of them.

Those are my treasures
from my grandmothers
and things i just love to look at
and dream of
a time now forgotten by most.
