A couple of weekends ago, when my friends Sherry and Rita and I went on a Girls Weekend Getaway, we stopped at a couple of antique shops and flea markets. I searched immense areas to find some pretty tea cup and saucer sets that were priced "just right"! This is one of my precious "finds"!
This is a demitasse size set and I just fell in love with it because of it's size and color of flowers, but also because of the fluted edges on the rim of the cup. Kind of petal-like, I think!
The top of the cup measures about 2 inches, and the plate about 4 inches.
I forgot to take pictures of the bottoms, but it just says: Hand Painted. Made in Japan.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my tea cup set!
Becky,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty and unique tea cup, and I read somewhere that the Japan stamp increases its value. Looking at this cup makes me want to stick my pinky out.
Very pretty tea cup - I too love the look of the fluted edge, it's very unique.
ReplyDeleteThanks for show it.
Hugs,
Penny
Why isn't this just the sweetest frilly looking tea cup! Gorgeous!

Hi Linda! Thanks! I forgot to mention how much I paid for this little gem...and it's funny, because I just couldn't decide at first if I wanted to pay "so much" for it, because the other ones I found at the same place were only between $3.00 and $6.00 a set! I paid $12.99 ....and I am SOOOOO glad I decided to buy it! :D
ReplyDeleteHi Penny! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment!
ReplyDeleteHi Cielo! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting! I'll check out your Victorian Tea Party!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I love the fluted edges, but I can just imagine myself dribbling tea all over if I tried to drink from one. :) Those would definitely stay as decorative pieces in my house.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty and so unique in shape! What a fab find!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining in Tea Cup Tuesday!
Hugs,
Terri
That is oh so pretty. The edges are lovely and make it different from many teacups.
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriends and I visited a tearoom a week or so ago. I love visiting tearooms and drinking one of the many different kinds of teas, and the food is great also. I wonder if the tea tastes so much better at the tearooms, because we always get to drink it out of those lovely teacups. hehe
Ohhhhh, Becky. That is a PRECIOUS cup. I love the petal design on the top! Great job! Sincerely, Susan
ReplyDeleteYes, very petal like. The first thing I thought of (after "She's got something else for me to covet!") was roses. Beautiful. Great find.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and unique! I love collecting tea things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this great find.

ReplyDeleteLove the tea cup. The shape is so unique and the colors are beautiful. I believe the price was great. By the way I really enjoy the music on your blog. I am so impressed with your writings and your blog. I am glad our paths have crossed and you are my friend !!!
Hi Janel! You are so right about dribbling tea, if you tried to drink out of that cup!! I think I'll just keep it for decorative purposes! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Terri! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! I will check out your blog, too!
Hi Gramma Ann! I love going to tea rooms, too! And yes, I agree the food AND the tea is soooo much better! That's one reason I like to have friends over sometimes, and fix a "tea room" kind of lunch and get out the pretty dishes, etc.!
Hi Susan! Thanks! I just love the little petal edges, too!
