Myott's Forget Me Not Table

One of my favorite patterns that we own is Myott Staffordshire's "Forget Me Not." It has a sweet scalloped edge with blue flowers on a cream colored base. I've never been able to find anything about it - except that it was said to be manufactured between 1950 through 1960.








We found eight each of these glasses at Pier 1 on the "super" sale shelf. Pat immediately saw how well they would go with the "Forget Me Not" dinnerware.




Pat made a small flower arrangement with light yellow, blue and white flowers

Where it came from:
Charger - Royal Blue "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa from eBay
Dinnerware - "Forget Me Not" by Myott Staffordshire from Replacements and eBay
Flatware - "April" by Wm Rogers & Son from our collection
Glassware - from Pier 1 last year
Lace Napkin - from Tailwaggers (a local thrift store that supports animal rescue and shelter)
Candles - "Northern Lights" from Tuesday Morning
Candle Holders - from our collection

Lenox Brookdale Table

What started out as a simple gray and rose color themed table somehow turned into a sage and ivory one this week. After setting the table with a beautiful rose pattern plate, Pat went looking for a place mat that coordinated to add some impact. Well.....needless, to say, it turned out a bit different:
Not a rose in sight......nor any gray




The place setting "Brookdale" is just one in our collection of individual patterns that we own. It was produced by Lenox from 1963 through 1993.

You can see the raised hand-applied center of the flower
