    My Grandma's name was Violet and she had a violet patterened china. I still think of her when I see violet china. The pastel green and violet tea cup is delightful!

    All the violets are pretty and dainty, but that first one, minty green with such rich purple violets is the best! Just love that one! Thanks for sharing it.
