A Spode is a Spode!

At lunch time today my twin sister texted me a picture of a bargain that she had spotted.

Spode plateware for......less than a few euro!!

My sister bought 8 plates and side plates and I decided to stop in the city on the way home from work and buy some of the plates for myself (I was afraid to wait until Saturday in case they were all gone!).


I bought the plain large plate in the Delamere pattern which were on sale for only €1.50.  You can click here to see how much they normally sell for!!


The shop we bought the plates in is Michael Guineys which is a Dublin institution since 1971. It is a discount store so I think we can presume that these Spode plates are seconds!



I bought side plates with an additional bird print (pheasants and grouse) which were €1.99 each.

Look at the total price for 6 dinner plates and 6 side plates!! €20.94!

I think there is something very retro looking about these plates and I just love the brown colour! Also, seconds or not, they feel great - a nice substantial plate. All in all a really good buy I think!
