Tea or Coffee?




 I love pretty cups and dishes, and I love
serving tea or coffee 
in beautiful
vintage 
china.

I have complete sets, but I think it's really fun 
to serve tea or coffee in mismatched 
china around the table.
Everyone gets their own special one of a kind cup to
admire while they have a nice cup of tea or coffee.

Which cup would you like if you came to 
my house?  

Would it be a beautiful rose cup like the one above, 
or would it be this simple,
but elegant
cup below?




Would you choose a beautiful 
cup dripping with roses 
everywhere...



I have a complete set of china with the pattern below.
This china is so versatile and fits with
everything...simple or fancy.


My daughters favorite cups are the
ones with little winking
faces.
I will have to put them in her hope chest,
they will make 
for a great surprise!


I love it when you find a set that 
still has it's cake plate to
go with it!



Would you want a royal cup?



 Or something plain, but with elegant shape?



 Or one that shows your equestrian side?



Or maybe one that's 
vibrant with gold trim?

 Or one that might reflect an art deco oriental taste?


 Whatever cup you would choose
would be just fine 
with me!

We would fill it with a great cup of cheer!!!

Have a Wonderful Week!!

  4. Every one of those cups is a gem. My favorite would be the art deco design. I also collect old china and just love the variety of shapes, patterns and even weight of the cups and saucers.

  5. I have the top one and the maple leaf one but in a different shape and my mother has the Royal one. You have a beautiful collection, when I come to have tea with you, I do believe that the art deco, oriental one will hold my tea.

  9. Oh Chris what beautfiful cups!
    I would have to come more than once I'm afraid as I like so many! But my favs would have to be the first roses with gilt cup - beautiful! I also love the simple floral country style one before the winking eye one, and that last pretty pink one!
    What a beautiful collection!
    I have a few trios and duos, I must do a post on mine!
    I will do a tutorial very soon on painting furniture, but I have left a comment on my post if you want some hints sooner.
