I have posted about my grandmother's dishes before...............

 I only a few small plates , a sugar bowl (missing the lid), and a couple of very fragile tea cups.

Each piece is so charming! I know about the company who made this china so many years ago........but I always wonder about the artists who first sketched these beautiful flowers for the china's design. Who were they? What was their work day like??

 Through the years I have tried to create the same design for my embroidery..............one is in counted cross stitch....................

 But no matter how much I try..............I can never capture the exact look or beauty.

And of course, sometimes, I just add my own interpretation of what I want something to look like...........as in the leaves. How about you? Do you have a certain piece of china that would look beautiful in stitches?

I would love to hear!
