According to German legend, a delicate little blossom was almost forgotten when God was naming all the flowers.  “Forget me not, O Lord,” cried the little flower. God decreed, “That shall be your name.”  How charming!

Wikipedia describes another tale that explains the pretty shade of blue.  As the Creator was assigning colors to the flowers, he heard a soft whisper, “Forget me not.” The only color left was a little bit of blue which was given to the small flower. As the story goes, the flower was delighted and so are we as we admire this lovely midcentury pattern created in its honor by Myott & Sons of England.

I first saw this pattern at Elma’s Copper Awning in Mebane. In a previous post, I mentioned that she and Scott bought this set of china for me at an auction as part of our bartering arrangement. I immediately fell in love with the creamy color, the swirl around the rim and the color of the delicate flowers. With these features, it’s perfect for mixing and matching with some of the other vintage patterns at Southern Vintage Table.

Let’s start with the dinner plate. Here are several different looks this charming pattern can create with other lovely vintage patterns!

Whether on the outside as the dinner plate, or inside as the salad, the “Forget-me-not” pattern is sweet!

Southern Vintage Table is also fortunate to have serving pieces in this lovely pattern.  With such a beautiful color and pattern, Forget-Me-Not on your table will help make your gala affair unforgettable!
