Remember This?????

Brown Dripware Dishes

Although, these were popular in the 50's, I never liked them. We had a few coffee cups. Food on a brown plate isn't appealing.

@ECBG I agree food on a brown plate isn't appealing.

Remember them and they are pretty. Brown is an appealing color and the food would look great on them.

Not only do I remember them, I have four soup "cups" which I use when I make French onion soup.

@ECBG My mother must have had every piece shown. Wish I had them now. They'd probably be worth a few bucks.

I do remember these pieces! While we didn't have them in our kitchen, I remember visiting people who served coffee and tea in the cups. Looking at the pieces now, I like a few things and probably would like them better in different colors. I bet many people still own this set or at least a cup or two!!!!!

I never cared for them. I don't like brown or black dishes.

Yes! My Mom had a set of 4 soup "cups" with the handles. I think she made French onion soap once. The rest of the time they just sat in the cabinet.

Much of this dripware as it's called was made by McCoy pottery.

I only had the creamer & sugar bowl from when I had my first apt. Recently donated them to GW. They don't fetch much, check out ebay.

@spiderw It's easy to pick up a few pieces of anything on Replacements.

Aww, my grandpa had one of the cups. He would always drink his coffee out of it, I can just see him holding it, in a wrinkled hand. What a sweet memory. I'm glad you posted this, @ECBG.

@None555 @coffee drinker Duck? I never saw a duck. We only had 2 coffee cups and a sugar bowl from "somewhere".

Yes, usually with the french onion soup. I've never seen the duck server before though. I cherish the heritage, but have no current desire to own the dishes.

@happycat Yes, it might be fun to own a couple of cups in honor of Grandpa...sweet memory.
