Blue & White Transferware Dishes
By: Miriam - Ladner, British Columbia, Canada
Where was this photo taken? Kitsilano Beach, Vancouver, BC Canada
Date, time of day, and weather conditions? Various days, mostly during the winter months. Cold and windy at low tide.
What were your feelings or impressions when taking this photo? I felt very connected to history. Most of these were made in England.
I have a set of Liberty Blue, blue & white transferware dishes, so already love this type of china.
I enjoy going to a book and finding out the names and makers of the dishes these pieces came from.
What kind of camera and/or lens did you use? By: Miriam , Ladner, British Columbia, Canada Zoom

Once considered the stepchild of the collectable glass community, today carnival glass, "poor man's Tiffany," is synonymous with class and exquisite artistry.
"An excellent and solid reference" - Midwest Book Review
Collectors Encyclopedia Of Milk Glass Identification/Values This book is a must for milk glass lovers, organized alphabetically by item. Categories include bottles & jars, bowls, candlesticks, kitchenware, lamps, plates, shakers, toothpick holders, trays, vases, and more.
Collectible Glassware from the 40s, 50s, 60s 10th Edition ????? Another home run for Gene Florence Numerous glass companies from the "good old days" are represented in this edition and this IS another "must have" for the serious Anchor-Hocking, Fire-King and EAPC collectors to carry around with them in the car! Most importantly the photography is, as with all of Florence's books, beautiful and extremely color accurate. ~ Review by Mark J. Desmond

I have found some of these china pieces at the Jersey Shore and have researched it to find out that it is Italian Blue China and Blue Willow which I believe is from the many ship wrecks off the Barnegat Inlet because I found it off the Seaside Heights beach..... Mary
I received your sea glass hearts and I LOVE them all.

I was so touched by your thoughtfulness and I appreciate you sharing these special gifts from the sea! Hope to see more of your sea glass soon!

“Just wanted to let you know (since you were so helpful) that I won a blue ribbon (1st place) in Gifford Middle School Science Fair in the category of Environmental Science with my topic - Effect of a Florida Tidal Inlet on Wrack Line Sea Glass Volume.
Now, I will compete in the Regional Science Fair which will take place on Feb 2nd. My mom and dad and I had a lot of fun searching for sea glass.
Thanks,”
