Tea Cup Tuesday-Spring Growth


Hello All!
Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday!
Spring is the time of year when growth is abundant...
The grasses, flowers, trees...everything alive is growing and blooming.
Me too,
I hope : )

My cup today is a new one to me, 
I found it on my trip to Asheville last month.
She was quite dirty, but looks much better cleaned up. 


 Plain Jane?
She wears pastel pinks and mints. There are several shades of these colors,
the plate being a bit more peachy pink than the foot.


Her handle is the the deepest shade of pink, and very lovely.
which I believe was meant to accompany the bright hues inside the cup.....


 Graceful brilliant daisies adorn the inside of the cup.
Truly a cup with "Inner Beauty"
: O


She was created by the Queen Anne company of England. 
A fine quality pottery owned by Shore and Coggins, in High Street and Edensor Works in the same place as many of the English potteries set up shop....Longton, Staffordshire, Potteries. 
This company was in business from 1911 until 1966.
This backstamp suggests a 1959 + date.

You can see her pattern number is 5854, which I could not locate online.
There two blue tics,which I think are artist marks,
maybe one artist did the interior art work,
and the other the outside?


Sharon, of Livewire Jewelry, sent me a gift of Adagio tea!
Which I was delighted about. 
I had the opportunity to choose what I wanted, 
and I picked this Gourmet set.  
To try something new...to grow...
Today I am having Oolong Goddess.
It smells like I am in China right now!

I also received some of their Chamomile...
AND it was very very good!
Thank you Sharon!

(finally back to drawing! Yay!...I am learn how to do hair...wish me luck)

Thank  you so much for stopping by today!
I am so glad you came by...I love reading your comments. 
Yes, I say this each and every time...but it is true.
You all enrich my life!
I hope where ever you are, 
You are enjoying Mother Nature's display of beauty and growth.
 
Hugs,
Terri

...if you would like to join in Tea Cup Tuesday, just go and create a post with your tea cup in it, and come back here and link up that specific post  so we can easily find you and come to see. 
Yay!

    Hi Terri,
    Queen Anne in this shape is very elegant. I think I only collect this shape by Queen Anne.

    It's your fav color and mixes well with soft pink and hot pink handle.

    The daisies look so soft and it's like the flowing tea leaves in cup.

    I hope you will make great progress with your drawing. I wish to learnt to paint too one day.

    Love,
    Felicity

    I know it must be tiresome to read the same words..."what a lovely teacup", or "I love that teacup", but I do ! I do! The colors all together are simply beautiful.

    I am glad you are back to drawing, and look forward to seeing more.

    Hi Terri,
    I see this week's mood is beauty and romance in a cup of tea! All your photos of this lovely and elegant tea cup are amazing, but the first one of the flower with the caption is really art work!
    Thanks for hosting another special tea, dear Terri!

    Good morning Terri,
    When I looked at the pictures of your Queen Anne teacup, all I could think of was "this is very Terri!" The colors, the delicate balance of form ~ and it has a gentleness about it. Lovely.

    Your drawing is amazing and I'll be looking for updates on your progress! Have a lovely, Spring week my friend.

    I adore the tea cup you posted...the colors are so very scrumptious... I love that shade of green and the pink is such a delicate compliment to the green. And the flowers inside the cup is what always makes a tea cup seem to be alive! Oh, and the tea you were drinking sounds divine!

    That’s a nice selection of tea you’ve got there. Oolong is one of my all-time favorite tea, along with Jasmine; and I see you have both! Have you tried the Jasmine Pearls yet? Adaigo has a nice variety of teas in stock, though I haven’t tried most of them yet. I usually just stick with my favorites.
