Now I'm in a foul mood :(

[roseofblack25]

Dropped one of my really nice soup bowls with a red rose on it from about chest height and it completely shattered on the tile floor. Picking up pieces of porcelain mixed with ground beef up off the floor when you want to eat sucks. I'm mad at myself for losing my grip on the bowl while taking it out of the microwave and dropping it. Tried to catch it and then tried to break the fall with my foot and missed both times so it shattered. Sooooo not happy about this...I do have three left and they were bought at Value Village 4 for 2.99 so not super expensive. BUT my OCD is now annoyed that I only have 3 soup bowls, and they are super pretty, made in England old looking bowls, so now that I don't have a complete "set" I'm angry at myself because it's not just like I can go to walmart and buy a replacement.

I still don't feel better after this rant

Definitely not microwave safe! ;-)

Can you tell us the manufacturer and pattern?

[Koolaid]

So sorry to hear.

[roseofblack25]

My grip isn't microwave safe!

The bottom of them say Swinnertons Staffordshire Made in England

I'm on ebay right now trying to find one...LOL!

[KK7]

awww so sorry to hear this I get very attached to certain things to hope you find a new one!

[roseofblack25]

*sigh* none on ebay
Searching google to see if I can find the name of the pattern or something...but I guess I may just have to live with 3 and hit up thrift stores and try to find some other ones to add to my collection of mismatched antique dishes. Still bummed because I get super attached to things I know I can't easily replace, but at the same time trying to tell myself it's okay at least it wasn't the plate my grandmother gave me, and it wasn't the tea cups that used to belong to my aunt.

Usually S&S patterns have the name with the stamp in quotations

This is what the bowls look like. From my Ebay search they are from around the 60's and are actually fruit bowls...I have been using them as soup bowls LOL!

The pic was taken when I was packing to move. I took so much care making sure nothing ended up broken and not even two months later and I managed to break one

There is another site, "Old China Patterns", based in England.

Nestor Vellum?

[Minou]

They shouldn't be that hard to find if you check the thrift stores regularly.

[roseofblack25]

Nestor Vellum?

I was thinking they might be Fredrika but not 100% sure and the bottoms on mine are worn so if they did have a name it's long rubbed off. I'm definitely going to be hitting up thrift stores to try and find some others or even the same if by some chance I do find them.

[Minou]

Frederika looks like it has buds at the top... and it looks more pinkish? Is the rose on yours more red?

so sorry to hear this. I did this with a blender not a week ago! Its quite upsetting, but im sure you will be able to find a replacement.
