Blue Monday – Royal Grindley “Orchid”

Blue Monday is sponsored by our lovely hostess Sally at Smiling Sally.

As anyone who has read my blog for any time know, I love blue and white dishes, as well as fabrics and other decorative accessories.

Last month I shared a very pleasant blue and white pattern called “Out of the Blue” by Churchill. Today I’d like to share another contemporary pattern from Royal Tudor Grindley. It is an all-over design called “Orchid.”

I picked up my first piece in Marshalls several years ago, and have sought other pieces online. But it is very hard to come by, and I still have only four dinner plates, one dessert plate, four cereal bowls and four rimmed soup bowls.


If any one knows of a source for this pattern, do let me know. It would make me very happy!

I hope you enjoyed seeing this contemporary transferware china pattern. Enjoy more Blue Monday at Sally’s blog, Smiling Sally.

Blue Monday – "Out of the Blue"

Blue Monday is sponsored by Sally at Smiling Sally.
I’d like to share a very pleasant blue and white pattern called "Out of the Blue" by Churchill. The bottom of each piece indicates that this pattern is "inspired by" British designer Mary Gilliatt.

In the blue and white teacup collection I have two different cup and saucer sets in the Out of the Blue pattern:

The dainty teacup

and the larger breakfast or coffee cup

Here is the 4 -cup teapot along with the covered sugar and creamer

Bread and butter and dessert plates complete the tea service.
