There We Are Then – Vintage Fruit Plate

A simple phrase… with a whole lot of meaning behind it.

This vintage china plate features a classic fruit illustration framed by a rich gold rim and the quietly iconic phrase:

There We Are Then.

For most people, it sounds harmless enough. But for those who know the story behind Swears of Joy, it’s the phrase that started everything — a subtle, polite way of saying exactly what you couldn’t say out loud.

Sweet vintage charm meets perfectly delivered British understatement.

Sometimes four words say everything.
