Collecting ...Whiteware ...


I have a thing for collecting white ware. My first buy were set of dinner plates, quarter plates and dessert bowls. And they were not bought …for the love of white ware…but simply because that is what I could afford at the store, as a newly wed. Soon came the tureens…the salad bowl…the jug…and the …and the …well I’m not sure when and where it turned from economical reason to a whim and fancy. But it has… and now I am always eyeing those white pieces.
Have to say…they always make the food look great. And I just don’t have to watch out for what color linen I pick up. The white ware goes with every color combination. Every time it works magic with all the different linen and table décor.Each piece may not be of the same style and design…but the color pulls them together. I used to be disappointed by what was available at the Indian stores… but with more designer boutique culture (no… not the mall culture)…there is a good selection of whiteware these days. I personally enjoyed going to Good earth stores in Delhi…in Pune an interesting store called Bougainvillea caught my fancy…now in Mumbai…I am out to explore … If this catches your fancy... a thing to remember is ... white ware doen't mean...white... it may vary in shades ... but that doesn't mean it isn't whiteware...
