Hello All,
Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday!
It has been dark and rainy here, too dim to photograph my own cups.
So I went online to look for cups I wish I could own.
Most of the cups I am sharing are over $300!
Some almost $500!
It is fun to dream though!
I am going to start with this absolutely gorgeous cup!
This is the first cup I found. It is by Aynsley and called Athens Butterfly.
My sister Kathleen would love this cup too!
My sister Kathleen would love this cup too!
This golden beauty is attributed to George Jones, an English Potter during the 19th and early 20th century. I had not heard of this potter before.
This beautiful cup is an Aynsley.
It was called Surreal Roses on the site I found it on.
It looks like a painting!
This incredible cup was made by Shafford in Japan. This company created china ware from 1940-1970.
The roses are the most gorgeous colors! The design so unique!
This dramatically stunning cup is also an Aynsley.
It was called Emperor Rich Gold on the site.
I would love a closer look at the bottom inside of the cup, what I can see of the flowers looks so beautiful!
The gold trims are so lush! This is certainly a cup for a princess!
This beauty is also an Aynsley!
If you want to see where I found these cups I have "pinned" these images on my board at Pinterest.
Have you heard of "Pinning"?
It is so fun! You find something interesting and you pin it to one of your boards.
Here is the link to my page, then scroll to the bottom to find the board "Exquisite Tea Cups" http://pinterest.com/artfullgirl/
The link to where I found the image is just below the pic.

I have browsed teacups for sale on-line and found beauties that were far beyond my budget, yet you're right, we can dream! Beautiful teacups.
ReplyDeleteTerri, good morning! My prize of the CD arrived yesterday! Today's the day I put it in my PC and begin to look at all of the illustrations and start to conjure up some new projects from them!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for pulling my name out of the hat, or teacup. ;-)
Hope you have a wonderful Teacup Tuesday. I'm all out of new ones to post about. Don't you think I need another antiquing trip? ;-) It's been awhile.
Hugs and thanks and blessings,

Well, Terri, it looks like you have found the mother load! Such beautiful selections. I think Aynsley is going to be my favorite because there is such a variety. Good choices, everyone!!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you posted a way to get to the original location of the photos. You had me worried there for a moment.
These cups are all so beautiful. I can see why they would be on your wish list! The teal cup with the butterfly at the top is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! It is fun to dream isn't it? The first cup with the butterfly...amazing! I could stop right there, but no...the beauty went on:) They are all gorgeous! A bit pricy for my collection...but that's what dreaming is all about.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your dark stormy day was brightened while making this post. Thank you for sharing it.

Terri - You found some real beauties here, costing a pretty penny, too, it looks like! But, the big prize with your post today was being able to follow you on Pinterest!!! I've enjoyed escaping there and "collecting" lots of lovelies and ideas - even if it is just in a virtual world. Useful tool.
ReplyDeleteJoy!
