Even though Valentine's Day is past,
I still think of Romance.
Especially when I stumbled upon these images of a cup
I gave away in a swap a couple years or three ago.

Isn't she just the sweetest, romantic, upright cup?
The rose buds are so dainty.
The pink so pretty,
her stance so prim!
She has a highly polished gold pedestal footing.
Notice the unusual gold vine or ? dividing the panels around the cup.
It looks a bit like rose thorns.
Interesting to depict the thorns along with the roses.
More like real life!
Adderley, a Stoke on Trent pottery,
created this tea cup somewhere after 1947.

I have that idea as Ridgeway Potteries bought out Adderly in 1947.
They retained the name "Adderley" and added the 1789
below the crown in the backstamp.

This one does seem to be one of their earliest stamps,
maybe even the first one?

Lately it has been fresh ginger tea for me.
What tea are you having today?
or coffee, or hot chocolate???

Yay!
I am hoping you all have had a change in weaether
for the good, too!

It is a pretty teacup and I love the way you point out details I might have otherwise overlooked. I do think the gold between the panels on the teacup are vines with thorns.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is wet, wet, and wet ! My ducks and geese love it. I think it perfect for tea indoors while admiring my ducks and geese from inside.
Hi Terri,
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sweet teacup. Love the rose buds and the pink of course. Very romantic! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day.
Blessings,
Sandi
I think this is one of your prettiest cup and saucer sets. Those sweet little roses. And showing itself off on a GOLD pedestal.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Cup Tuesday.
This is so sweet and dainty Terri! I adore the pattern - never have seen one quite like this! Happy Tuesday! xoxo Nancy
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, Terri! Beautiful teacup that you parted with. She's a winner. Hard to beat roses and gold! Happy Tea Day and thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteDear Terri,
ReplyDeletethe Adderley tea cup is really sweet. I love the pink and the roses and the elegant shape. We have nice weather here, too. Spring is coming. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tea cup and for hosting this sweet event.
Best greetings, Johanna
Dear Terri,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet, feminine teacup and one I have never seen before. Interesting about the thorns. I think it is exquisite.
Have a gingery day, Ruthie
Terri, you are a true sweetie to have given this cup away in a swap. It is very romantic looking.
ReplyDeleteHi Terri,
ReplyDeleteThat is a very beautiful and romantic teacup. How did you ever part with her? I do need to part with some of mine but I find them all so pretty. Thank you for hosting Tea Cup Tuesday. Have a wonderful week!

Love that tea cup. It is beautiful! would have loved to get it in a swap! I am drinking Darjeeling today, and looking out at snow. No signs of spring here!
ReplyDeleteOur weather is not fine. Boo! So glad yours has turned. This is a lovely teacup! Very feminine!
ReplyDeleteSherry
sadly I don't have a cup to enter but I can still enjoy your beautiful pieces Terri! So far today I have had a cup of Tulsi tea as it is very cold and -flurrying-again.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful cup Terri, so delicate. So glad to hear you have better weather. Spring is on the way here too, blossom emerging and it is so welcome. Elaine x
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Terri! Sorry about messing up with my thumbnail image. That's what comes of working too swiftly and clicking wrong. Boo.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing a cup I won in Martha's most recent give-away - along with a book I won about the same time! A double teatime blessing!
Yes, I do love all the romantic details of your cup today - the rose seems very like many other roses I see on cups. Is there a universal pattern?
Be ye blessed with your nice weather - we have snow coming in again tonight.
Joy!
Kathy
Goodness that's a pretty one Terri and I didn't notice that there were golden thorns, but of course they are thorns. I have a couple or three Adderley cups and am really partial to that name because I lived on a road called Adderley for a few years when we first immigrated to Canada. Anyway, it's always a good time for a pretty rosy cup and Valentine's can be every day as far as I'm concerned. Hope you have a most wonderful week. Big hugs. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cup! I love the gold thorns, what a nice touch.
