🍽️ Childhood memories

A painted plate.

Everyone’s grandma in the country had a set of these. At least every grandmother I have known!

@maique I’ve seen similar plates up here, and I think they used to be a lot more popular before. I think (I’m out in the deep here) that they were originally made after old Chinese plate fashion.

@odd I always thought “British” when I saw them…

@maique Yes, I believe they were the ones who brought it over from China, (porcelain), thus naming it so, however these blue on white patterns may be from Britain, IDK.

@maique @odd haha we have them here too. My grandma has a few. I always thought of them being Portuguese. For obvious reasons! 😂

@pcora I don’t remember if my grandma had any, but I kind of think she had.

@odd @maique The blue-on-white versions were definitely a staple of every (Anglo) grandma's house over here! I always thought of them as British, too 😅
