My Grandfather bought this for my grandmother when I was a child and I've always loved it. I inherited it upon her death and have cherished it ever since. It is the favorite in my collection. The lovely teapot lady pours the tea from the pitcher in her hands while "Tea for Two" plays from the music box that is hidden inside.
This lovely English teacup takes center stage on Mother's Day and is used often throughout the year as well!
I found this treasure at a local Antique store. It is Wileman's Foley Circa 1892 and came with a handwritten note that reads: "Bought this teacup in Chester, England - an old walled city dating from the Roman days." It is amazing enjoying Afternoon Tea out of a teacup that is almost 120 years old!! What thoughts my imagination calls up - I can almost hear the polite conversation of Elegant ladies delighting over the newest fashion in millinery!
My husband bought me this Royal Albert "Blossom Time" teacup that features a winding pathway lined with pink dogwood trees in full bloom! While sipping tea I let my imagination take me for a stroll down the pathway to wonderful places....
This Royal Albert teapot was a Christmas gift from my thoughtful husband!
