perfect china is not for me
I'll take it chippy, crazed, and stained
an old ironstone platter that has hundred of stories to tell
an aged beauty that only time can provide

I agree, that is the kind of china I prefer, too. So much more character and warm to the pieces. I often wonder "who held this teacup" or "what was served on this plate". It's kind of nice to feel a connection in the dark so to speak.

I love old china, old paper, old books, old rusty things. Do you see a theme here?
