It is no secret that I love dishes. Always have. And I love collecting them. And not just sets of china, which I definitely have too many of. But I love serving pieces as well. And when I come across pieces at good prices, I just cannot help myself. There are worse things I could be spending money on so I am not ashamed of this addiction haha!
There is a local thrift store called Reconsidered Goods that I love to go to. I try to hit it up about once a month. You can find all sorts of interesting things there as they also take things that have chips and cracks and aren't perfect. I don't mind those because they show signs of usage, and I love to think of my things as being once used by someone. It gives them a history.
Awhile back, I was perusing the store and came upon these two serving pieces by Noritake. I do love me some Noritake haha. And I have developed a thing for gravy boats as well. I don't know why. People rarely use them anymore, but I absolutely am fascinated by them. And there was a matching platter to go with it. And they had red decoration on them. I have very few china pieces with red as the base color.
I got both of them for less than $10 total, so I was happy with my purchase. I have not used them yet and they are now packed away in a box somewhere in the garage. That happens during the holidays as I switch things out! The platter does have a tiny flea bite chip under the rim, but it's still perfectly good. I haven't decided yet whether I will keep them or let them go. Still, I will enjoy them in the meantime!
Happy hunting!
