Blue and white porcelain comes in all shapes and sizes. As a collector of blue and white porcelain I can attest to that, and I love to share where I find my treasures, what I paid for them and how I use each piece as decor in my home.

There are so many that I'm now at installment #5 of a series I began in 2022. If you missed the first four installments, you can go back and review Thrill of the Hunt #128, Thrill of the Hunt #129, Thrill of the Hunt #130 and Thrill of the Hunt #131.

(I've published many other posts that include my other blue and white china pieces; a few of those posts are referenced throughout this post.) 

So let's get started!  

These aren't my first blue and white egg cups, but they're definitely my favorites!

This double egg cup is decorated in the Blue Willow pattern with no maker's mark. I got it at a thrift store for $4.00. 

This delicate blue and white egg cup was purchased at a local vintage emporium for $7.00. That's more than I usually pay for these types of  treasures, but I had a gift certificate so I went wild. I found a similar pair for sale on Etsy for $20. The seller calls them Delft Dutch egg cups, but I'm not 100 percent convinced since there's no maker's mark. 

I could see using it as an adorable salt cellar! Maybe even a toothpick holder? I can also see it hanging on one of my Chinoiserie Christmas trees this year.   

This pretty Blue Onion creamer was found at Goodwill for $1.99. I frequently use these small creamers as flower vases for my garden flowers in the summer.

I knew I could add it to my fledgling Blue Onion collection of sorts, including these 1950's spice jars made by Arnart Creations/Arnart Imports from a yard sale years ago. I paid around $1.00 for each piece. 

I also use these Blue Onion pattern pieces as vases throughout the summer. 

I can't remember where I got this Blue Onion teapot (coffee pot?) or what I paid for it. Suffice it to say that it was thrifted for a reasonable price a few years ago in perfect condition. 

Its maker's mark says: 

Last but not least I recently found this Blue Onion porcelain tea jar (minus its lid) at Goodwill for $2.99. 

 

The maker's mark says "Delftware Handwork Designed by Elesva Holland 326." Perhaps I'll be on the lookout for its twin!

I think that's enough blue and white thrifted wares for one day, so I'll stop it here. Rest assured, though, that No. 6 in the series is not far behind! 

Well, that's it for today, friends!

I hope you've enjoyed reading 

and that I've inspired you in some way.
