My parents purchased it on their first anniversary, so I guess it would about 45 1/2 years old. I haven't purchased my own china simply because I can't find anything I like as much as this - and it will be mine someday.
The pattern is, quite suitingly, Anniversary Rose, made in Staffordshire, England.
They bought the whole shootin' match - china, glassware, and silver. The table is abundant in roses when there's a nice dinner planned.
Great photo. The composition is a bit busy for my liking. I would prefer if there was not such a glare on the plates, or if you couldn't avoid that, not on the roses! That's very distracting, i'll admit. The depth of field is pretty good in this. Perhaps it would have been better without the plates, and only the cups.
Enter your comment here, and then cast your vote...Could this have been taken with natural light. The glare off the dishes is somewhat distracting. Neat shot and idea.
Visual impact is nice.
Lighting is fine, but it is really hitting me off those dished on top.
focus is fine except for that first cup is out of focus.
Love that rose pattern.
Originality of idea idea is great.
Love the gold rim. . .
