I think it will look good on my table with my brown and white transfeware dishes for Thanksgiving. I found a couple others also in white ironstone. The 2 plain little pitchers
Then I seen this heart shaped colander and wonder what it'd purpose was for
I looked it up and it's for making cheese and you use a cheese cloth inside. It's a Williams Sonoma dish made in France and Ina on Barefoot Contessa once used it on her show if you watch the cooking shows. I don't anymore since they took Paula Deen off I still believe she took a terrible wrap for her brothers wrong doing.Go on the internet and type apilco and this dish will come up and what it's used for. I thought that was interesting. I will use mine for decoration only,not making cheese LOL
I like anything from Williams Sonoma stores. I have a silver Ruffoni pan that I love and use often
I am really enjoying our warmer than usual weather here in central Missouri also . It's been in 80's and since our rain last night it's going to be in 70's I think next couple weeks anyway.
Linky parties I am joining in
WOW- you found some excellent treasures, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI always thought those dishes were for rinsing fruit, haha.
I made cheese once in a class I took at a Rennaissance festival years ago - was easy and super fun, and I don't remember a thing I learned that day. (Senior moments I guess, haha.)
Great finds, love the dish. I had no idea the heart colander was to make cheese, very interesting. I think is pretty.

Your new treasures are lovely. I think you have great success in finding the best things because you know what you like. Blessings...
ReplyDeleteI love the thrill of the hunt when you shop thrift stores!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! That heart colander is awesome!!
These are wonderful treasures! Love the pheasant creamer - perfect for fall! I have recipes for making cheese from yogurt - you just let it drain for a few days and add herbs. That little dish would be perfect for making it! Thank you for stopping by :) xx Karen
ReplyDeleteOh what wonderful treasures you found, they are beautiful.

Even tho I do not cook much anymore, that is one of may favorite stores.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the Paula Deen issue. Don't watch any of the current cooking shows, but if I had time only Ina would be my pick. I did hear that Paula has her own internet shows. I will be going around to the thrift stores more often now that I've seen what you managed to find. I guess it really is necessary to hunt, hunt, hunt. Love those dishes.
ReplyDeleteWell how interesting is the little cheese dish you found! I make my own kefir, and have sometimes made my own cheese. I simply use a regular strainer, but this delightful heart shaped dish is really a beauty. Thrift store shopping is always fun, you never know what you will come home with! Have a lovely weekend :)
ReplyDeleteYour plate brought back memories of my Dad and brother going pheasant and quail hunting around Thanksgiving. Not long ago I actually saw a pheasant in a field, something I had not seen in years.
ReplyDeleteGreat things that you found. I have never saw that heart shape cheese maker... I would have never guest. I haven't watches any cooking shows either. I loved Paula Deen.. I think it was some craziness.. People are silly.. There have been way worse things done and they all get over looked. I'm in San Francisco and seems I have't been able to find much of anything worth the bother her.. I'm thinking smaller towns are better.. He he... Maybe things are just going dry... Lol have a blessed Sunday evening with love Janice
ReplyDeleteYou always seem to find the greatest things when thrifting!

I love to thrit! Great finds! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday, Janice. I am so loving all of your great finds. That plate in the first photo might disappear if I come visit. haha
ReplyDeleteThis post is being featured on my Pink Saturday post this week as "the one with the most clicks".♥
What a find! I like small pitchers and am always on the lookout, but have never seen one with a pheasant. I need to take you with me when I shop! I used to have a set of the Coronation pattern (your mom's pattern), given to me by my grandfather-in-law many years ago after his wife died.
