TEA CUP TUESDAY

[Ellene Meece]

This discussion is open for everyone to add your favorite tea cup photo every Tuesday. It can be from your own collection or store...or it can be a favorite photo off Pinterest or the internet. Just show off the best and favoritest! (New word :))

Today, I pinned this one off Pinterest by Mary Wald. Beautiful! Matches my yellow rose hedge.

This one is my favorite - hand painted pink roses - love them.  I don't blame you for not using them, it's fun to just look at them.  I have a few hundred sets and don't use them often.  When my son got married I used them at the bridal shower and they were a big hit.  I was thankful that none of them got broken.   I've been collecting since 1977.

Okay...maybe one more cup....then I must go and dress for an outdoor wedding we are attending today!  Lovely weather, I must say.  Got rid of Hurricane Arthur in time :)  Here's another T&V Limoges cup and saucer....another one of my favorites!

Oh my goodness, Elaine! You are could provide a year round show and tell! Keep em' coming! Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday for sure.

Haha, thanks, Ellene!  It dawned on me yesterday, hey, maybe I shouldn't post any pictures until next Tuesday!    It is Sunday, so I will post just one more!  Tuesday will be my big day to post, lol.  I love Shelley tea cups!  Here's one of mine I bought for $12 at a consignment shop!  I real steal!  Surrounded by four of my crystal salts (another one of my collecting passions!):

Oh, Mary, I love the functional and pretty sets!  Thanks for sharing :)

Here is another antique cup and saucer.  No markings except some numbers and letters.  So delicate and fragile!  Among my salt cellars, as well.

Thank you, Mary.  I have a snall kneehole chest where these are displayed.  It seems like everything on it is blue!

In honor of "Tea Cup Tuesday," I am posting six vintage or antique tea cups and saucers for your visual enjoyment!  Number one was already posted.  Here is Number 2.  Hand painted , Haviland and Company, Limoges:

I love this square one and the spoon is a perfect match.  Thanks for sharing all your gorgeous cups.

Thank you, Donna!  I have more and will post a few at a time!  :)
