PRETTY TEASETS

Royal Vale Dark Pink Roses Teaset

"The mere chink of cups and saucers tunes the mind to happy repose." ~George Gissing,

Royal Albert "Old English Roses' is a strong presence on any tea table, especially if the whole teaset is used.

TENNIS SETS

Tennis as we know truly developed in the 1860s..The Spode company in England developed a china set  which consisted of a  plate and /or coffee cup,so that a sandwich, often a cucumber one could be stored.

This small selection shows the variety in the shape of both the cup and plate.



"I got nasty habits.  I take tea at three. "Mick Jagger



I'm never in so much of a hurry.
That I can't have a cup of tea and laughter.



"A cup of tea, a prayer or two,
Blessed moments shared with you"



"I like the pause that tea allows"
