Two weeks ago, I mentioned that I had received a teacup bonanza from not only a longtime friend but also from a friend of hers I'd never met before that day, someone who (to my amazement) also wanted to pass along some teawares. I so enjoyed the lovely afternoon I spent with these friends old and new, and after showing you the first batch of new teacups, I realized it was time to share the second batch of new teacups I received. Aren't they lovely? And all in mint condition!
I suppose my eye will always go to roses first, and this teacup is one I know I will enjoy using again and again!
But I must confess that my newfound passion for blues has me loving this one just as much. And too, I have long loved iris. (I still want to say "irises" for the plural, but the plant folks seem to prefer "iris" for both singular and plural.)
Also in the batch of teaware goodies I received was this gorgeous teapot that Jan, the one who gave it to me, remembered receiving as a young girl. (She's in her sixties now.)
Isn't the gilding on this piece just beautiful?
Just beautiful! I am so glad that these lovely tea ware items came to live with you.

ReplyDeleteI'm only collecting sets that aren't Roses, lol. So far, I've found daffodils and one with a carnation and Scarlett O'Hara on it.
Thistles are my true hunting goal.
