Pretty in Pink

I have always had a love for hotelware because it is so rugged and a lot chunkier than most china.  Vitresol or hotel/restaurant china has been specially glazed to withstand the harsh environment of the service industry.
 
Very occasionally I have come across it in pink.  The palest pink like these cups from J. Meakin and Sons.  I found them in such an old shop, the staircase was leaning literally 20 degrees to the right!
This huge pink pitcher and tiny pink creamer were really unusual finds too.
I have a thing for pale pink and silver.

  7. Unlike most, I am not a pink person.....

    But I kinda do like your pink hotelware---maybe because I have never seen it in pink before....very different!

    Now your silver?

    That, I definitely love!
