Limoges Tea Cup




Teacups bring me such joy.

I know I am not alone in this thinking.






I always knew there were many others.....




.......Those who love hand painted china from wonderful
places as Bavaria, Austria, Japan, France or England.







My favorite pieces that I have kept are quite old.

(This one isn't so much, but it is a cutie nonetheless.)






Thanks for stopping by!
I do so appreciate your visits!

  1. Hello Michele
    I was impressed while away to find we would be served with cups and saucers every day for meals - it was so elegant.
    The simple pattern and colours of your teacup are pretty.

  8. It's a dainty little thing with the pink flower vine winding around that way. I'm still loving the green...

  12. Michele, That is a stunning teacup! It is just beautiful. I think of you and your love of finches when I look out and see the goldfinches enjoying my coneflowers - that is a frequent occurence these days. They sure are gorgeous! Love the goldfinches; we do have many house finches as well and in fact a mother and father house finch raised 3 broods of babies in a nest on a light fixture on the front porch.
    Blessings to you, Beth

  17. Hello Michelle,
    I too, take much delight in tea cups! Yours is a sweetie! She looks very light and thin. These cups make a truly pleasant experience with tea. I have one similar from France only a little different pattern. I too love hand painted china. Your collage photos are fab, I need to learn how to do that!
    Hugs,
    Terri
