Mid Century Modern Dinnerware

Did I happen to mention how much I am drawn to Mid Century Modern collectibles, dinnerware, everything? Well I am. I would love to decorate my house in 1950's kitsch.

Anyway, one Saturday morning not too long ago I found not one, but three dinner sets circa 1950! They aren't large sets, but they are in good condition and they are classics.

Homer Laughlin Skytone Stardust is a really neat discontinued pattern that was made about 1955 or so. Most, if not all the pieces are marked with the date they were made. The Homer Laughlin Skytone line started in the 1940's, the basic pattern was the distinct blue with white handles on the cups, etc. The pattern "Stardust" is from the Skytone line and features a black and white floral center decal with red accents.

Another great Mid Century China maker from the U.S.A. is Edwin Knowles. Here is the pattern "Chalet" which features a stylized center floral design with purple, green and turquoise blue flowers on a cream colored background with a platinum rim.

One more Knowles set that I have recently added to my eBay store is Edwin Knowles Vintage. It has the same coupe shape and cream background but with a grape center design.

Another great set of vintage dinnerware that I was unable to find much information on is from Carrollton China. It features a center design of an ornate bird on a tree. It was in a box marked "Aunt Josephine" at an estate sale.
