Vernon Kilns Chatelaine

I love this line. I believe it was introduced in the spring of 1952; it is a short set (not many pieces). The pieces shown are in Topaz. I would love to have the sugar and creamer! Pictured is the teapot, but it seems tall (10inches) to me for a teapot (but that is what the factory called it). I would love to have pieces in Jade.

Been digging?
I'm pretty sure you have been going through some boxes as I would have remembered these! Very nice!
Not digging
The teapot has been on a bookcase in my bedroom for years. The cups and saucers I just got off ebay (one cup came with a flea bite, but the dealer made good on it).
Chatelaine
Nice share! This has always been a favorite set of mine. For years, there was an almost complete set of the decorated Chatelaine in an antique mall outside of Madison, Wisconsin. But, I swear, almost every piece in the set had chips or some sort of damage. I've never seen another set out in the wild.
In the Wild
The first teapot I ever saw in the wild was in Jade with the painted leaves. The dealer wanted $150 for it (which I could not afford at that time). This teapot I bought in an Antq Mall...the tag said "Art Deco Coffeepot $19." It is in mint condition. The teapot and the cups are not marked; which is good for collectors!
Re: In the Wild
Over 25 years ago I was shopping in a Salvation Army Thrift Store on Fifth Avenue in Los Angeles. I found a huge set of the weirdest dishes I had ever seen. The entire set was $75.00, which was a fortune for me at that time, but I bought it anyway. There might have been one or two pieces that had chips. The rest were and are mint. I think the remarkable condition is due to the fact that the city of Vernon, where they were made, is only a few miles away. I have 15 dinner plates, many soup bowls, a serving platter, the teapot, creamer and sugar, the salt shakers, cups and saucers, a serving dish, and salad plates and ALL in jade! Only 8 cups were with the original set, but I got four more on ebay, although their shape doesn't match my original set. There is one other collector I know in Hawaii who gives huge parties for his friends using only this pattern. His collection is enormous. I met him while bidding on Chatelanie plates on ebay many years ago.
