Sometimes it's just a bowl

I had gathered bags of clothing/misc. for donation at Goodwill and, of course, I had to check to see if anything new would catch my eye.  This Noritake sugar/dip bowl in the sorcerer pattern was mine for the grand sum of 99 cents.  That same bowl currently lists on Ebay from $14.99 to $28.99.

I so love this stoneware - the "pattern" has to be over 20 years old.  I have my coffee every morning in my blue stoneware cup.

A year or two back, I located a near entire set of Sango splash brown drip to replenish the set Mr. VZ had at the house.  I was THRILLED that set was priced at $10.

Do you have a favorite stoneware or china pattern?  Have you been able to locate any of the pieces in the thrift shops?
