Hello All!
Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday!
This week I have one of my favorite trios to share with you. We have seen many really beautiful Forget Me Not tea cups over the past weeks. I love each one. I only recently found a set for myself and I am delighted!
I adore the multi blue flowers and the shape.
I found this set in Williamsburg, Va. at a beautiful shop called High Cotton. This shop was featured in Victoria magazine recently and prompted my visit to the area. The shop was incredible, and I had such delight looking around, especially when I spotted this set tucked away in a hutch! The generous gold trim really caught my eye!
A fancy split loop handle with a spur.
The handle is all gold from this view.
This white set is generously decorated with beautiful bouquets of flowers.
Such vivid shades of blues and lilacs.
This is a high footed cup, and I think Gainsborough shape
....please correct me if I am wrong.
Royal Standard is an English company located at Stoke on Trent. This company was owned by
Chapmans Longton Ltd. The back stamp came into use around 1949.
Thank you so much for stopping by to visit today. I love having you over!

My post today is more about my Mom's Birthday and little to do with tea (other than a picture of us having tea) so I won't be linking up this week...however...this teacup is so so pretty. I usually never find one that has the matching dessert plate and my mission is to find a trio! This cup has a certain elegance that I am drawn too...I love it!! I wish you a Happy Tea Cup Tuesday!! Feel free to link this treasured jewel up. Best to you ....Have a GREAT WEEK!

I so adore the forget-me-not flower. What an incredibly beautiful teacup. Also, I loved seeing what the others have shared.
ReplyDeleteTerri -
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely set. I also love how the gold seems to be stippled/feathered out into the white area of the cup and saucer near the rim. Just beautiful!

I love looking at your tea cups and this one is gorgeous! I only own one tea cup which I bought about 20 years ago, but you've made me want to start collecting more. :)
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous and stunning! Oh it makes me want to go tea cup shopping.
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is so very pretty, it reminds me of my own desire to collect more china for my own tea parties! So far, I've the jam service set with tiny spoons, and one cup with matching saucer lol!
ReplyDeleteI guess I have a ways to go!

Oh my goodness, what a stunning set! No wonder you are so proud of them. I would want to sit in a Victorian dress to sip tea and eat scones from these treasures.
ReplyDeleteTerri, I just love forge-me-nots, and this set is lovely! In fact, I think I'll have some tea now...you just put me in the mood. I sweetly admire the dash of pink amongst the blue flowers - very delightful.
ReplyDeleteTerri, I'd be honored for you to come by and enter my give-away.
Have a glorious day!

Hi Terri,
ReplyDeleteMy, what a beautiful post cards. I think I should be creative as them. Should give a try. Btw, your forget me not teacup is so sweet. I should look for one. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, I came by way of Trish's Tea party and am late! Your cup/saucer and plate of forget-me-nots is charming. Yes, the colors are very vivid. Love the gold edging. I also peeked at the post right ahead of the tea party one, so many creative artists out there doing crafts. Delightful selection of wonderful teacup they have created. Thank you for sharing lovely posts. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThese tea cups are gorgeous. It's always nice to have a tea party with a beautiful set.
