HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This is certainly one of my favorite tea cups in my collection. I found it at a garage sale, and would have passed right by it, had my husband not pointed it out to me. I love the beautiful artwork and the unique shape!

Simple red roses framed with black lacy boarders.
The tea cup is perched on a cute little pedestal!
This cup makes me smile when I use it!
Here is the back stamp:
~ Hammersley & Co ~ Bone China ~ Made in England ~ 5013 ~

Addendum 2011-Apr-02: I found a source on the internet that states that the date of this backstamp would be between 1887-1932. The backstamp after 1932 contained (Loughton). I'm not sure that this tea cup looks that old ...
Apparently there are few records of the Hammersley family china manufacturing that show the pattern names and numbers. I'll have to see if I can't find more information.
