Thanksgiving Dinnerware to Grace Any Table

Southern Living recently published an article entitled "Turkey Plate Special" chronicling the origins of certain patterns.  Who knew that when Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, we would end up with beautiful transferware patterns honoring the official bird of Thanksgiving?  I was excited to see my pattern, "His Majesty" by Johnson Brothers in the article.  We lovingly call these our Traveling Turkey Dishes.  Click here to find out why!

I set our Reading Room table with His Majesty for a quick peek at this beautiful pattern.  I love my "Traveling Turkey Dishes".  It is a joy to get them out and use them throughout November.  I also love this old table.  It has the scars of a well lived life and reminds me so much of my sweet grandmother who loved it as much as I do.
A close up of His Majesty shows the lovely colors of the season.  I don't own the turkey platter, but it is on my wish list!

Another Johnson Brothers pattern is called Woodland Turkey.

If you love blue, you will adore this gorgeous plate by Royal Dalton known as Watteau.
(Replacements)
Rowland and Marsellus (1893-1938) was a New York based company; however, their china was produced in Staffordshire, England.  This pattern features quite an array of colors.
(Replacements)
Royal Stafford created this neutral pattern.
(Replacements)
If you like a little more color, they created another version!

Here is a simple pattern called Woodlands from Spode.
(Replacements)
Another blue pattern is Turkey (Flow Blue) by Ridgeway.  I must tell you that these will cost you a pretty penny.  One plate listed for $349.95.  Imagine coming across a set of these at a yard sale! What a find that would be!
(Replacements)
I need to add a few of these beautiful plates produced by Wedgwood to my red transferware set called Memory Lane. I love transferware patterns.  I think the two patterns would mingle nicely on a Thanksgiving table.  I am afraid Mr Still Woods Farmhouse would put his foot down to any additions to my patterns!
(Replacements)
I thought I'd end with an unusual pattern. The label is "Turkey by Winkle, F".  A plate sells for $159.99.  The company began making pottery in 1885 and was owned by an individual named F. Winkle.
(Replacements)
Do you have a special china pattern for Thanksgiving?  Please leave a comment and tell me about your pattern or maybe one you would like to begin collecting.

    Lynda, I love this post! Your transferware is gorgeous and I loved seeing all of the various patterns. Wow, are some pricey? I have two red turkey transferware plates, but they are reproductions that I bought quite a few years ago at T.J. Maxx. They still have a price tag on the back of $3.99. I have them displayed in a plate holder in the entryway. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
    Jann

      Hi Jann,
      Yeah, can you believe the blue pattern from Ridgeway? Maybe your Ridgeway pieces are just as pricey! Wouldn't that be nice? T/J. Maxx has some great finds. I bought a pretty pumpkin plate there not long ago. It's on display now!

      Good thing is you can shop on the internet for most of these patterns. Bad thing is you can shop on the internet for many of these patterns! Shipping on dinnerware is awful. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

      Thank you Cecilia. My love of transferware began with one plate of Memory Lane which my grandmother allowed me to eat all my meals on. When I started collecting His Majesty, I didn't realize the numerous Thanksgiving themed patterns available. Thanks for stopping by and come back soon!

    It's important to note that the specific selection and style of Thanksgiving dinnerware can vary depending on personal preferences, cultural traditions, and regional customs. Some families may have heirloom pieces or unique designs that hold sentimental value and are passed down through generations. Ultimately, Thanksgiving dinnerware contributes to the overall ambiance and enjoyment of the Thanksgiving feast, creating a warm and festive atmosphere for family and friends to gather and celebrate.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all  loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware.  I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl.  My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate.  I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida.  I came to love her one plate.  My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table!  When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs.  I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces...

Quarantine Reno: The Butler's Pantry/Laundry Room

Good morning everyone! I wanted to share with you a major renovation which Mr. Still Woods and I accomplished during the quarantine. I have been feeling a huge push to simplify not only my life, but our home as well.  I started with reorganizing room by room and donating items we no longer use. After that was accomplished, I began thinking. My husband says that my thinking is always dangerous and usually means a lot of work for him! So let me tell you how this all started.  I have a large pantry in the kitchen with pull out drawers and deep shelves. While it holds tons of pantry items, I was always complaining because items tend to meander to the back of the shelves. When you need a flashlight to see what's in your pantry, you know its too large.  So I decided that I wanted to relocate our pantry into a free standing, shallow unit.  We sat down and drew up a plan we were both happy with.  As with most plans, our plan got altered along the way.  What was to ...

Patriotic Tablescapes

I was perusing the internet for a little 4th of July tablescape inspiration.  Wow...are there some wonderful ideas for any Yankee Doodle Dandy table.  Let's take a look! I love the blog Between Naps on the Porch.  She has a gift for setting a beautiful table.  This one is set with solids of red, white, and blue.  The tall lanterns also lend a patriotic flair and really make the setting cozy. I love the entire setting in this photo from The Gathering of Friends.  The house and yard phtograph beautifully.  Those red chairs really pop! Looks like a great place to entertain and watch fireworks. Tampa Homebody has incorporated some of my favorite glassware into her table setting.  American Fostoria and blue Cape Cod glass make this a festive display. Doesn't this make you want to pull up a chair?  The centerpiece is simple, but quite lovely.  I am crazy about checkered prints.  Super cute from Stone Gable! This is just prec...
