It's always exciting to find beautiful teacups and/or teapots while vacationing. These teacups have been joyfully added to the ever growing collection and will all be put to good use. All were made in England, and most are bone china. The blue pansies, top center, are from the
Remembrance Series. (How appropriate!) The pink rose, far right, is a Queen Anne teacup, while the heavily decorated teacup (front center) is a Gainsborough bone china, marked Spencer Stevenson. Far left, the pretty strawberry teacup, appropriately named 'strawberry' is not bone china.
It is always doubly exciting to discover holiday teacups to use in December. These two pretties will be tucked away until our first holiday tea of the season, the day after Thanksgiving.
The teapot, marked Ellgreave (A Div. of Wood & Sons, England) is genuine ironstone. It will be a fun addition to the tea room pretties.

What beautiful acquisitions to your collection. If you put a gun to my head and MADE me choose a favorite teacup, it would probably be the heavily decorated Gainsborough one. But ALL of them are lovely.

Wow - you did great on this trip!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing each of your lovely teacups. My main teacup collection is blue and white, but I have also been gathering floral patterns in pink and other lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cups. I'm sure tea will be absolutely delicious served in them!
ReplyDeleteAlways room for another teapot and beautiful teacups! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What lovely pretties you have added to share with all those that come to have tea with you.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly found some beautiful cups and saucers on your trip. I love that pink rose Queen Ann teacup - such a pretty shape.
ReplyDeleteI found an antique store in Savannah, GA that had a table overflowing with cups and saucers. Sadly, the prices ($40-to over $100) were too steep for me.
