Tonight I have used dishes that I have had for at least 15 years. They have just been sitting quietly in the cupboard the last few years. I think I heard them say "pick me, pick me, I'm worthy of a night out", as I was standing near the kitchen cabinet which is their home. Actually, these used to be our every day dishes for the better part of ten years. The pattern also came in blue/white but I really liked the green, which happens to be my favorite color. Thinking back, I should have, also, bought a few of the blue. The blue chargers would have been great with white plates...
There is nothing on the back to indicate what the pattern is. It does say Quadrifoglio Made in Italy.
The water goblets also have grapes on them...they didn't photograph very well so it may be hard to see the grape clusters.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by, it is appreciated.

I love the green dishes and haven't seen them before. No wonder they wanted to be chosen. But the birdies are special too! Thanks
Hi Mimi! Thanks so much for visiting. I love green and your plates are wonderful. Love the green glass goblets. I have the pitcher and tumblers. Great minds....

Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden...
Great dishes!I love green in transferware and there's not that much of it out there. I don't blame them for screaming to be taken off the shelf.

I love those dishes! If only we'd known we would be tablescaping on the internet...we might have collected all sorts of things over the years to get "ready"!

I love your dishes (and I'm a big blue and white fan) but those in green are just perfectd -- I'm not sure they would be as perfect in blue! Beautiful table!
