Mixing Patterns

Over the Hills and Evegreen patterns together
The more collectors I talk with, the more I discover that they, like me, mix and match patterns if they use their stoneware regularly.  I use Whispering Pines and Pond Mountain together for everyday dishes here at home. Another pattern combination which also looks really nice together is Over the Hills and Evergreen as evidenced in the photo included in this post.  I am not sure if any of the glazes were the same or simply blend well together after having been fired.  Check out the solid as well as the monochromatic patterns to see what you might be able to put together to round out a full collection!

  1. This is a wonderful idea! Russell Wright intended for his colorful wares to be used "mixed" like this. And Fiestaware was marketed this way also.
    Have you considered combining "Martha"s Flowers" and "Rachel's Garden"? I have never seen them photographed together and do not know if the glazes are compatible.
