Oh it's been so long since I participated in Vintage Thingie Thursday, but it's SO good to be back!
Today I'm sharing with you my latest op-shop find - this lovely green jug.
I think I love Grindley jugs more than any other ceramic item! Their colours, their simple yet elegant shape, and just their round friendliness ... they make me want to have a tea party everyday!
This mark was used by Grindley from 1936-1954.
I am always drawn to single-colour pottery, somehow, and Meakin china.
Yes, unfortunately this one I found the other day does have a chip in it, but I don't mind.
Oh no.
I was happy to pay $5.00 for it, because you see it looks just fine with these jugs
... especially in the dresser.
Which I'm thinking of painting.
Maybe a creamy colour, or a pale green ...
... but not the same pale green as the wall ...
What do you think?
Thanks for looking, and please check out other pretty vintage thingies here

What beautiful jugs, and I am like you, a little flea bite or chip does not bother me in the least if I love the piece.
Your cabinet is lovely, I'd go with a light cream....love all your goodies!
Have a great VTT!
oooohhhh! That is nice! Happy VTT!
Looks great, these jugs have a very nice shape to them!
Great colors! Go ahead and paint the cupboard. A pale green would be pretty! Keep up the crochet!
You have a variety of neat vintage things. I enjoyed seeing them and visiting you.
I like simple shapes and single-color pottery too.
Oh, my....what simple elegance! I love these jugs! Your egg cups are pretty cool too :)
Blessings!

Oh!! I've never heard of Grindley before, thank you so much for sharing! Gosh, I love the pink. And your hutch is beautiful ... and and your bunny egg cups are adorable! :)
Thanks for the smiles!
Happy VTT,

Ohhhh,I do love the little jugs..and the egg cups are just to swoon over.
If I painted the cabinet..I think a cream color would be beautiful..and I also love the pretty cloth in the first picture that the little jug is sitting on. Happy VTT..
Oh how pretty! I'd never seen those before :) Thanks for sharing!

Well, I'm glad you're back! You certainly have a marvelous find there. They are all so pretty, especially together!
I think a darker green, I am sure I have seen a darker green in your interior paint somewhere....
...with a lighter green interior.
