Indigo Moon – Sleek and Modern

Detail of Indigo Moon dishes

This kind of dinnerware, in the Indigo Moon pattern, is near the top of my permanent shopping list. I found a little bit more today.

Four saucers Indigo Moon pattern

Four saucers might not seem like a lot, but I usually find loose cups without them, and I want all the pieces I can find, if the condition and price are right.

Indigo Moon is vintage 1960s china. I like the clean, modern shapes and stylized blue floral motif. It's high quality porcelain dinnerware, made in Japan.

I've been collecting this pattern for years. Eventually I'll have a service for two or four, with enough serving pieces to make sense of it.

Meanwhile, I use the pieces I have for a special snack or dessert. One plate might even get displayed on my wall while I'm not using it for anything else.

There are lots of vintage goods out there in secondary marketplaces. Prices are "soft" for old dishes and glassware.

Modern patterns like this one seem to be the only ones to hold much value. I collect this because I like it and want to use it.

And it makes me happy when I find some!
