When I posted pictures of my serving cart, I mentioned that it's usually covered in teacups and the like, and a few of you expressed interest in seeing my teacup collection...so here it is! I don't really have all that many so I've included some that belong to my mum, as well.
You may think I've just posted the same teacup and saucer set twice...but I actually have two of these. One belonged to my paternal grandmother, and I found the other in an op-shop. I've since seen a mint green set that wasn't, alas, for sale. One of them was made in Japan, the other is Westminster China Australia.
I'm not one for wearing florals, that much, but I love floral patterns on other things. Especially pink floral patterns!
These are some novelty teapots my sister got for my mum, including a jar of marmalade and a fancy toilet.
Little coffee cups (above & below) - the woman mum bought these from broke one as soon as we went over to buy them...luckily she had multiples so brought in another the next week.
I have a vague notion that these are larger because they were made for men? Both of these (above & below) belong to my mother, as well.
And these are my favourites so I had to post more photos of them.
Love,
Andi B. Goode

ReplyDeleteThose pink ones are so lovely. Pity the mint green one wasn't for sale (isn't it a pain when that happens??).
ReplyDeleteI would love a complete tea set, preferably vintage.

ReplyDeleteI actually have a bit of a thing for those Japanese off-centre tea cups and that one you have is wonderful. :)
I do love the pink one and the unusual shape of the saucer!

Oh my the pink cup and saucer are beautiful, I do not even drink tea so I would like pink lemonade in it please! xx
ReplyDeleteThe pink set is gorgeous! I think a whole table setting of that style in pink and mint would be heaven :)

I love those pink teacups so much! They're just so delicate and pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI like to collect tea pots and I would expand my collection to cups too if only I had more room! I need more shelves, hehe.
So much prettiness! This post somehow managed to slip past me until now! xox
