It's another Tuesday, and I have another pretty tea cup I'd like to share. I'm joining Lady Katherine at Tea Time Tuesday, and also Martha and Terri at their Tea Cup Tuesday. I bought this one at the Antique Mall near my home, the same day I got the one I posted last week. Remember the one with the pretty yellow and gold flowers, with the Kresge price tag still on it?! I don't remember exactly what I paid for this one, but I know it wasn't more than $5.00. 
This one really caught my eye, for various reasons. I love the tiny and delicate pink roses, the decorative gold scroll design along the top of the cup, and I particularly love the "double" handle! I thought it was so unique.
This picture is slightly blurry. My apologies! My camera doesn't take very good close-ups, but I wanted to show the double handle.
In this photo, you can see the tiny gold line inside the tea cup. Another delicate touch!
The plate also has gold around the edge, which is slightly scalloped.
The cup is very lightweight and translucent in the upper part.
The saucer is quite a bit heavier.
There are no markings on either piece.
This cute little book is one of five I bought at Dollar Tree a couple of months ago. I've just been saving them for upcoming gifts I might need.....OR.... for a Blog Give-Away!.....stay tuned!
I hope you enjoyed taking a peak at one of my bargain purchases!

Beautiful cup and saucer and I have never seen a handle like that before either, it makes it very unique and special. I also loved the filigree gold work, very elegant!

ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you didn't mention that the cup matches the teapot on the book cover! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone! Thank you ALL so much! I'm sorry I can't reply to each and every one of you at the moment, but believe me, it means a great deal to me, when people take the time to stop by and leave a comment! Today, I've been more into my "writing mode", which is a very good thing...or else I will never get my book completed! Never fear, though, I certainly cannot give up participating in Tea Cup Tuesdays!! :)
