My grandmother, Ruth Johnson McConnell, left her childhood tea set to me. She would have played with it 120 years ago!
It's Bavarian Lusterware, created sometime around 1900, decorated at the Greiner & Herda studio in Oberkotzau.
The blue pitcher and orange candy bowl were hers, too. No markings on them.
I love that these belonged to her. But what do I do with them? Keep them in the cupboard? Leave them to my daughter so they'll end up stored in her cupboard? Give them to my granddaughters and tell them they can't touch them?
I don't want to make money from these pieces. I'd like to find someone who would love to have them, just because they think they're beautiful. Let me know if you're that person.
