Today, I present to you this random creamer and sugar bowl I bought at a garage sale. The lady didn't have anything else in this pattern and in fact, insisted I take a plastic vase in burgundy because it matched! To be nice, I did and then tossed it when I got home!
This fulfills my fantasy of owning a castle with it's own pond and sailboat! I love little vignettes like this one. I can pretend that it is a painting of my house and pick out my bedroom window (in the round tower of course!) and picture my love and I floating on the on the serene little lake.
My true love, Les, is actually a singer in real life, so he is usually serenading me with a lute in hand! I, of course, am lounging in the boat, reading a novel and eating delectable treats from a handwoven basket. I'm sure you realize that the treats have been provided by our castle cook who has know me from girlhood and is happy and jolly and loving and has a kitchen filled with delightful scones and muffins and clotted cream and chocolate chip cookies and fluffy (!) angel food cake and chocolate caramel cake and....and....and...of course she has fruits and vegetables too, I'm sure. I just haven't ever put those in my fantasy picnic basket!
Here's the mark on the bottom, if you're interested! I've not researched it (surprise!) because I just love the little scenes so much, I don't care if it's worth anything.
Thanks for joining me (dressed in hand-embroidered silk) on my fantasy adventure Vintage Thingy Day! For more vintage goodness, visit The Colorado Lady and take a trip down memory (or fantasy!) lane.

Beautiful set and your fantasy is to die for...ahhhh, to dream. What would life be with out that great ability. Thanks for sharing with us.

You collect like I do--I must like the piece for what it is not what its worth. But I do like to see the stamp or anything else to help place it in history. I love castles too.
What a lovely picture - very dream-like quality! Thanks for sharing it.
ahhhh castle, pond on our own.. always on any girls wish list.. glad that you find yours even tho its on sugar bowl and creamer.. still it makes our dream real..
Happy VTT & have a good day..
very pretty. My post today on VTT has a cup/plate set with the same stamp on the bottom. UCAGCO CHINA.
Mine doesn't have Royal Vista thought. That is so coincidental with us both having the same stamp name.
What a great find and I think I'd like to borrow that "daydream" today. A horrible "bug" has struck rendering virtually useless, but in a daydream I'm beautiful, not sick, don't have puffy eyes or a red nose and my spring cleaning isn't interrupted...it's done.
:0)
It's so pretty! I love that piece! And I enjoyed the fantasy
That is a wonderful story-you put a big smile on my face...I might just live over the next hill :)
Love the scenes and the sudden use of the blue-lovely cream and sugar.
I am loving this set...so cute! I don't think I have seen one like this anywhere. I really love this set. Thanks for sharing with us today!
Is that another item made in occupied Japan? I haven't ever seen the likes of it who would knwo there are so many vintage treasures out there!

I love your vintage treasures..thanks for sharing.
That's lovely Dawn, it's the sort of thing I'd have in my cabinet :-)
What a lovely set. And I love your fantasy. I wouldn't have fruit and veggies in my fantasy basket either.
So when are yoiu going to start writing books. Sae could do your art work. I did love the story and of course the things that you buy to fill your cabinet. Guess what you may just become your mother. HAHAHAHAH!!!!!
what a delightful set..love that castle design :)
Very cute! Castle on a Cloud. It is very storybookish!
Heh. It's a lovely creamer and I so agree that your bedroom should be in that tower. Can I live on the other side of the creamer?
