Amazon has a number of Temp-tations products, but the deal on the set of 3 Floral Lace mini pitchers is really good-- about $22 for all 3, only about $7 each.   They also have Old World and Woodland patterns, etc.

If you google Amazon Temp-tations Set of Floral Lace Mini Pitchers they'll pop up.

I know these are great b/c I ordered the green years ago from the Q.

They are so versatile and cute.  Make great gravy boats, sauce pitchers of all kinds, any liquid you'd like on the table.  Of course they can go right in microwave, freezer etc.  so that increases their usefulness.

Each is slightly different, and they're big enough to act as decor-- look darling with flowers in them.  The tallest is almost 6 inches.  With flowers in, they have almost a vintage charm.  They have a lot of presence, singly or as a group.   The green works so well as decor at Christmas, and in spring time.

If you want to stretch your blue and white china collection, the blue are beautiful accessories--

I noticed that QVC even has some good buys in Temp-tations right now.  Their Doodle Doo figural rooster pitchers, set of 3, are only 13.99.   They're not different sizes and shapes though.

 

As far as pitchers go, the Temp-tations Floral Lace ones that I've had are excellent quality and such a good purchase.

I bought these about two years ago and have used them as decor in the solid taupe.  I usually put them out after the holiday decorations have been put away but still need something for winter.

Ohhhh, I have a blue and yellow kitchen with some accents of red.  Hmmmm, the blue floral lace would be so pretty with flowers in it.  I don't entertain except at Christmas so would use these more as decorattion.  The redi s a really bright red so not sure about those.  Great price too.  Will have to think about those blue pitchers.

@TheMemphisVette ,  the Woodland White to me, seems to be one of the best designs in Temp-tations, and so versatile.  Maybe that's why it is 'sold out' so much.  

@mildoo ,  the taupe is a perfect, "quiet" neutral that you'd want right after all the color and excess of Christmas---  that taupe has been another one of their great neutrals, sophisticated.

@JudyL ,  your kitchen sounds darling.  At Amazon they do have both the bright red, AND, the more muted 'cranberry' Floral Lace.  If you scroll through all the colors, you'll see both.   I love that dark blue in that pattern too-- elegant.

@Oznell  - Oh my the cranberry pitchers are so pretty.  Not sure how I missed those yesterday.  Noticed that the pitchers aren't on Prime Delivery and the shipping is almost $8.00.  Still trying to decide if  want to get them and now which color!   I have Old Country Roses china and think the cranberry would look so pretty on my holiday dinner table.  On the other hand the blue would look great all year round in my kitchen!  ACK!  Dilemmas, dilemmas!  HAHA

[Oznell]

Oh, boy, @JudyL ,  do I know that whole 'dilemma' thing too-- esp. since I started purging.  Now I have to think long and hard about stuff that comes into the house-- have to love it and have specific reason for it.

I have this sort of abstract "city scape" over a desk in the living room, that has a particular shade of green in it.  That started me on a quest to find a couple of green things to put on the desk, that wouldn't "fight" with the green in the print, but actually complement it.  Well, harder said than done!   I find different greens harder to put together than blues-- with greens, a lot depends on whether there are more yellow undertones in the green, or more blue... 

That's what started me on the green floral lace pitchers!  They coordinated nicely with the picture, yay.

@Oznell  - Understand completely on being careful as to what one brings into our homes.  While I love the pitchers, I think I'll be passing as they aren't really necessary and I'd have to struggle in a sense to find a place and purpose for them.  In other words, they are a "like to have" but not a "need to have."   I will say though, that I haven't removed them from my Amazon wish list just yet.....LOLOL

I have the 3 set of cannisters in this same pattern. Two are in the green but one is reversed as it is white background with the green florals. They are too cute. I already have my mom's cut glass cannisters so I didn't know what to do with these (but of course I had to have them). I ended up putting them on the kitchen soffit along with some other things.

[Oznell]

Those canisters sound so cute, @Judaline -- I love the idea of one of them reversing the colors like that.  In that pretty pattern, that would look sophisticated, sort of French....

I got curious and cruised the green floral lace on Q--  sorry to see there doesn't seem to be much of it now.  Maybe they're phasing out that color, bummer.
