    Description

    I buy vintage linens at local estate auctions to pass them along to you.  Right now I'm trying to list items to bring you a smile during these strange times.
    This is a
    combination set: six teacup and saucer sets of Adams Calyx Ware Lowestoft with six dyed-to-match Madeira napkins.  The cups and saucers are the best loved pattern of Calyx Ware, a soft blue-green with pink borders and flowers.  I have a small collection of this pattern and I've always been frustrated in finding table linens to use with them, so I tried my hand at dyeing napkins to match the china.  The napkins are Madeira luncheon napkins made of finely woven linen with lovely embroidered and cutwork flowers; each one measures 14" square.    They are a blue-green very close to the Calyx Ware color, which has some natural variation between pieces.  Have a look at the photos and see if you think I came close.
    The cups and saucers are all in good condition with no cracks or chips or crazing.  These have a variety of backstamps, as shown, but they are well matched to each other.  The napkins are all in fine condition, but one did come out with a bit of color variation, as shown in the last photo. The napkins were dyed with procion fabric reactive dyes and the color is well set in.  I will ship these to you by the best way based on your address.  I have another variation on the dyed-to-match napkins and have listed those with more Lowestoft cups and saucers, so check those out too.
    I am storing this in my smoke-free home. Please contact me for more information or photos.  Thanks for looking!
