Recent utility china finds

When my sister-in-law texted me asking if I wanted some utility china the only natural response to give was "YES!" She found a stash of Johnson Brothers Greydawn and Grindley Peach Petalware at a charity shop for about a fiver and since she's very nice she decided to split it with me.


I am now the proud owner of tureens, cereal bowls and a gravy boat. I've also got more large (soup?) bowls and those odd but useful in between sized plates.


I actually found the yellow Grindley tureen separately a few weeks ago but decided to lump it in with this post. I'm not sure if the lid goes with the bowl as it doesn't fit very well and I'm convinced it's a different shade of yellow, but it only cost about £1.50 with another tureen bowl so I'm not complaining.


The Johnson Brothers Greydawn tureen might just be the cutest tureen in the world. I love the handle on the lid.
 

Is it sad that I feel so refined now that I own a gravy boat?

I think I have finally ticked off most things I want in terms having a fully functioning, mismatced utility china dinner service. I'd like to find a few more dinner plates, preferably Woodsware, as I'm very fond of my Jasmine Woodsware dinner plate. Not sure where I'm storing my new pieces though as my box of utility china delights is full, but I'm happy admiring them at the moment.

Has anybody else found any nice china recently? If you fancy seeing more utility china I'd recommend visiting Vintage Sheet Addict and The Vintage Knitter as they have found some lovely pieces.
