Mathias' China











This blog post is for Mathias. His china is the lovely Czech porcelain (above) with the colorful hand painted, floral pattern. My mother gave it to him several years ago. It had been her Great Aunt Lil's. (I think?) It is supposedly a place setting for twelve with all sorts of serving pieces....though it hasn't been counted recently. It is all wrapped in paper....inside two big boxes....in our attic.

My mother, however, has now generously offered her set of Heinrich Anmut Bavarian china made by H &C Selb Co. (Below) This is a place setting for eight....and only one cup is cracked....otherwise, it is perfect. It was a wedding gift to my mom and dad from my Grandpa Mathias Lenz and my Grandma Margaret Heizer Lenz. My mom thought that "Heinrich" was the name of the pattern. It isn't. I think the name of the pattern in "Serenade". So.....the choice is yours, Mathias! Let us know so we can make arrangements for either (or possibly both!) sets to get to England!
