Lady Beth

This is the 4th tea cup from my Auntie.  It looks simple on the outside, coloured a nice pale green...


Then on the inside there is the beautiful blue rose!


This is my first tea cup by Lady Beth in my collection.

This is the 3rd tea cup from my Auntie.  I LOVE the bright cheerful pattern on this tea cup.  This one is sure to make me smile every time I pull it out!

Royal Crown Derby

This is the second tea cup from my Auntie.  I love the colours on this one ... it's not like any other tea cups I have in my collection.


This tea cup is produced by Royal Crown Derby.  This is my first tea cup from this company, so I did a little research on it.  It appears that this is the company that supplied the china on the Titanic.


My tea cup was probably produced somewhere between 1921-1964.


I just love this pattern!!

Royal Albert Numbered Pattern 6594

My Auntie gifted to me 4 beautiful tea cups that I will share in the next 4 posts.  This first one was produced somewhere between 1927-1935 I believe.  It is really quite beautiful and detailed!


This tea cup is a Doris shaped cup.  I love this shape ... so elegant.



Look at all the detail in the saucer ...

Royal Albert - Blue Blossom Jam Jar


A couple summers ago my husband and I spent a weekend in Nanton, Alberta.  We spent our time snooping in their many antique shops, having lunch the cutest teahouse and watching the fireworks to celebrate their ‘Nanton Days.’  



As a souvenir of our trip I found this great little jam jar.   I think I could use it for sugar too.   It is a Royal Albert piece and the pattern is Blue Blossom. 

The pattern reminds me of my Lavender Rose dinnerware by Royal Albert.
