Hello Dear Tea Friends!
Welcome to
"A Mismatched Tea by the Rhododendron Tree!"
I hope that you had a very special day with your loving family on Mother's Day!
Today I would like to share a mismatched teacup and saucer.
I just love the teacup's rich tone of pink with the thick gold trim on the handle and pedestal base.
To make it even sweeter there is a dear rosebud on the inner cup.
I found this elegant saucer and thought they looked perfect together.
What do you think?
The other palest of pink teacup is a matching pair.
The inner cup has an exquisite border of gold designs.
It is marked Grosvenor Bone China England.
The teacups have similar shapes.
If you look closely on the teapot you can read the word "Romantic".
The large planter is Made in England.
Thank you for joining me today for
"A Mismatched Tea by the Rhododendron Tree!"
Wishing You A Belated Happy Mother's Day from My Dear 94 year old Mother and I!
See you next week!
Karen

Hi Karen, Mismatched or not your tea setting is absolutely gorgeous and your cup and saucer go together quite lovely. I am LOVING that jardiniere, it is beautiful! Your lacy tablecloth looks great amongst all the green too!
ReplyDeleteSweet photo of the 3 of you, Happy belated Mother's Day to you.

ReplyDeleteI really prefer and adore the mismatched look. I think it is much more charming! What a beautiful place for a tea. We are still trying to dry out from days of rain, snow and hail. I can't wait to get in the garden!
Your garden tea is exquisite! I think the teacup and saucer are the perfect match. The shades of pink are the same. Your second teacup is such a pale pink, almost white. It's a beauty. Not only do you have beautiful teaware, but your English planter is amazing! Great large floral design on it. I could sit in your garden all day.
ReplyDeleteHave a great tea week! ~Nora

Happy Belated Mother's Day, Karen! The pretty flowers on the Tuscan saucer match the pink Royal Stafford teacup beautifully! I'm also a fan of the pale pink teacup!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I just adore your mismatched tea! I especially love all the girly pink. You matched up that pretty teacup so very nicely with that saucer. What a charming set you have now. Everything is lovely, the cream and sugar, the teapot, the planter, the lace. Would love to join you for tea at your pretty table. Thanks for sharing and joining me for tea. The picture of you, your mom, and that darling baby is just precious!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Karen: That picture with the three generations is amazing. Your Mama is beautiful. I am so glad you got to spend time with her. That baby is growing so fast. Have a wonderful week dear friend. Hugs, Martha
ReplyDeleteI adore the rose planter and those pillows!
