| Thanks for the article, I think the wife will be really interested in this one, and I have been trying to get her "into" DG. She has a tea pot thing going on (can not move without bumping into them ).
I will show her this article. Again - thank you! |

| As a collector of old glass and pottery pieces, I loved the connection you've made from out gardens to our tables. Good Job! |

| Good Job Joyce! This brought back some wonderful memories as my Grandmother had the desert rose pattern for as long as I can remember. Thanks for making me smile today! |

| Nice article on the connection of dishes and flowers has got me thinking of the connection between dishes and vegetables and fruits as well. I remember a lovely old pattern of Perrugia china that is dotted with tiny fruits and vegetables. The fruit and vegetable styles are not as common as the flower ones, but they, too, exist. |

| Thanks everyone! Glad you enjoyed it!
Dyson--I too have a "few" teapots and hope your wife enjoys this!
Melody-Thanks, we must show our collections on a forum here at Dave's!
Brinda- Desert Rose is a beautiful pattern and you were lucky to have grown up with it. Now where are the coleus dishes ? :-)
pajaritomt- Yes, the fruit and vegetable patterns are delightful also. I'll have to research that one and maybe do an article featuring them as well. |

| Joyce - great job! Very interesting reading about the history...and what beautiful pictures! Keep it up! I agree the fruit and veges would make for an equally interesting article. |

| I, to am a sucker for floral china. I like the hand painted ones from Germany, Austria, & other European countries. Then of course there are the R.S. Prussia ones.
A good place to start a thread on the floral dishes would be the Antiques & Collectibles forum.

| My Grandma served lunch every single Sunday on the Devon ?. I remember the pattern so well. Wouldn't it be fun to start a thread with everyone's china patterns or pottery patterns of floral designs? |

| Awesome article Joyce. I've seen many of the beautiful flowered plates in my gallivanting. It's nice to know some history behind them.

| Poor Gessie! I was trying to be discreet about something that was pretty obvious. You got it now?
Thanks Janet! |
