Delicate tea cup and saucer
While staying at one of my sisters a couple of months back, we were intrigued by a tea cup and saucer that had been given to her by her Mother-in-law. We had never seen a piece like it before, it is very light, like a shell type texture, almost translucent with a pearl sheen.

Hi Annette,
What a gorgeous and delicate tea cup! I love the colour and luster of it. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing and for joining me for tea.
Blessings,
Sandi
It is beautiful and unique. It reminds me of one of those delicate pearlised shells that I used to pick up from the beach and we called them silver dollars and pretended they were money in our games. They had the same kind of lustre to them.
Isn't it gorgeous, just like mother of pearl, it looks as if you can almost see through it. The brownie looks pretty good too.
This is one of my favorite cups that I do not own. I have seen these beauties before at antique stores and they are usually well over $100. They are so delicate and so light, I can only imagine how lovely they are to drink tea from. This is a wonderful gift from one's mother in law!
Thanks so much for sharing about it.
Hugs,
Terri
How very lovely---so translucent and light-filled!!
I remember a Belleek I wish I'd bought years ago---almost exactly the color and shine, and it DID have tiny sea-shells for feet on the cream and sugar---just charming.
Dropping in from Lady Katherine's Tea Parlor, and hope you're having a lovely Autumn!!

I have such a soft spot for beautiful teacups and saucers... it makes the whole ritual of drinking tea just that little bit more special!

I think this is one of the most beautiful teacups I have ever seen, and a setting of teacups such as this one should leave a person content with it alone...such beauty, simple and elegant, rare and beautiful, perfect.
Hi Annette,
I can't believe it's taken me so long to drop by and look at all the things you've done.
Beautiful teacup photo's, fabulous upcycled cushions and the combi camper to die for.
Hope you had a delightful w'end.
