Oh my stars! Look what I got for $7.00 A set of “Old Country Roses” by Royal Albert china. I love the Devil Egg plate!!! The 3 trinket boxes, vase and soft boiled egg holders were an added plus! Normally I keep my eyes open for pretty deviled egg plates, which I usually ‘gift’ along with the deviled eggs when attending a pot luck, but honestly, I think I will keep this one for myself!

I do the same thing; at Easter I brought deviled eggs and gave the plate to my daughter of my heart.

I use to find lovely decorative plates at Thrifts for Christmas cookie giving... And I don't feel guilty if the recipient passes the plate on to someone else.

Grace, those are very beautiful. You always have an eye for beautiful treasures. I agree it’s definitely a keeper. It will look wonderful filled with deviled eggs and pretty flowers in the vase.

Grace, that china pattern for the egg plate and other matching items is so pretty and old fashioned. It really would be a fun plate to keep or gift. All of the pieces look in mint condition as well. The little trinket pieces would be perfect for all sorts of things to store. Once again, you hit a gold mine at the thrift store!

I've not seen that pattern before but I love it! I see why you'd want to keep that egg plate - it's beautiful! I love heart things and those little heart trinket boxes are adorable. I feel the need to go explore some thrift stores LOL! Funny little side story - I have some plates that I keep giving away with cookies (mostly at Christmas time) but they keep getting returned! My husband says it's because they want a refill :)
