Lusterware

One of my first collections was lusterware- mainly the colors from the 50's.

These purple cups with orange on the inside are little snack plates. They are marked from Czechoslovakia. Most of the colors I collect are either from Czechoslovakia or Japan. I love the sheen of lusterware and how delicate they are.

These three cups and saucers have a very interesting and unusual pattern.

And these are a few mismatched tea cups and a creamer. They are wonderful to hold bobbins of thread.

They have a pearlized inside.

So pretty! Do you use these or just display them?

I don't really use them, but think I should! They have kind of taken a back corner lately as I don't have many good display areas. I think I will put my collection up on my soon to open etsy shop

They are lovely. I never knew that those dishes were called that. My mom has a few pieces tucked away.
