Tuesday's Special Teacups













Special Teacups at the Cottage

Welcome to Teacup Tuesday...




Today I would like to feature two teacups that were once my mother's and that are very special to me.  My wonderful and kind sister let me have them because she knew of my passion for roses, pink and turquoise.  My sister, Dianne has an amazing collection of vintage teacups and I hope that she will allow me to display her collection on a future blog.



The two cups are almost identical.  But if you look closely, you will see that the pedestal at the bottom and the inside of each cup vary in colour.  This one has a very light turquoise...


The saucers are identical.

Can you see the gorgeous blue?  I think it should be called robin's egg blue.

This one has a pale coral colour as it's trim.


One saucer has a gold number e1267.

The other has no gold numbering.
The cups both  an imprint of gold lettering and numbers.

They are Aynsley fine Bone China from England.

The reverse side of the teacups seem to be a deeper coloured rose.

Pink is so pretty!
 
 Thanks for visiting Teacup Tuesday at the Cottage & Castle!

    What gorgeous teacups, Karen! I love Anysley and yours are so lovely accented by their different shades. Pink, robin egg blue, and peach are three of my favourite colours so I'm liking these very much. They are even more special because they had belonged to your mother. Thank you so much for coming to tea and sharing your pretties with us. Have a beautiful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hello Karen,
    Your tea cups are beautiful. I have two similar, but I don't have the pretty pale colors inside! So lovely! Aynsley is one of my favorite companies.
    Thanks so much for sharing.
    Hugs,
    Terri

    Hi Karen, love the rosy cups. How unusual to have them look almost the same and have one with the blue. Very lovely and romantic images. Have a nice day. :)
