Earlier this year, Mister came home from the dump with a truck-load of dishes that someone had left there in the free section. This set is the Harkerware "Pate Sur Pate" pattern, and there are four dinner plates, bread plates, cups and saucers, and a sugar and creamer. All are in perfect condition! The tea cups are not those tiny useless ones, they're a bit larger, probably 8 ounces.
They look great with the yellow accents. And, coincidentally, Mister had picked up these grey leaf juice-size glasses about a year ago. I had tucked them away thinking they would eventually go on Etsy because they didn't match anything I had. Now they do! They have a cursive L on the bottom, which I'm assuming stands for Libbey.
(Yes, I took the dead flower out of the vase!)
So, if you're ever feeling a bit gray . . . go buy china!

Lovely - can't believe that anyone would want to just dump it! As you say, it looks great with the yellow.

What a great husband to find those treasures for free! I love the grey and yellow together. It's so eye-catching.
Amazing to have a find like that at the dump! That is pretty wild! They look great in your display and I too like the contrast with the yellow!
