Description
Beautiful vintage English bone china teacup and saucer featuring a blue, yellow, and pink floral mix painted with thin grass-like green foliage on a pristine white glazed background. Surrounding the cup, to one side and behind, are gold serving pieces, including creamer, sugar bowl, and teapot. The emphasis here is on the delicate and pretty china teacup, rather than a full setting for afternoon tea.
These elegant serving pieces are set on a dark green jacquard table runner, reminiscent of times when beauty and refinement had a special place in daily life—and time was set aside to enjoy a cup of tea with a friend—originally at 4 p.m. because dinner was served later, around 8 p.m. In keeping with British tradition still observed today, the hostess would serve treats such as sandwiches, scones, or cake along with the tea. The idea now is to provide a little treat in the hours between lunch and dinner, or supper, and a cup of tea and some food can help.
A TOP FINISHER in The Perfect Cuppa Tea Contest, May 2019. Warmest thanks to Laurel Adams, who hosted the contest and deemed all five of my submissions to be winners.

I am reminded of my English grandmother with this image. A 'cuppa' was the cure for all skinned knees and elbows for this little boy. Wonderful Connie.....just wonderful.

Thank you, Stuart, for your lovely comment that made my day. It sounds like your English grandmother was a wise and loving woman. So glad this image brought back tender memories.
