So, wandering through my local St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop today, I thought to myself, "There's never any Kathie Winkle here anymore. Someone else in town must be collecting it." Not two seconds later, I spied a pretty green bowl, my eyes focused, I thought, telltale Winkle signs, oh the shape, like those blue ones, quick check on the bottom, SCORE! And better yet, at the counter the nice lady looked at the stack and said, "Would $5 be ok ma'am?" and then she gave me 25% off because it's a special day. !.
The stack includes fruit nappies, cereal bowls, sandwich plates AND the 8" luncheon plate that I have only one of. These are all in a slightly different shape than usual called Riviera Shape (I have some blue ones like this calle
d "San Tropez" - they have a curve at the outer edge of the plate and slight bumps around the circumference).
This lovely pattern is called "Electra". Aren't they beauties? I've never seen this before, online or in person.
While I'm here I thought I'd show off my new plate rack that I wanted to use to display my many Winkle platters in a spot I could also easily grab and use them. It's a rotating display... I have many more than three... eek.
