I'm participating in Gracious Hospitality's blogathon on tea-themed topics. This week's topic, the story of a favorite teacup and saucer, stumped me. I don't have one favorite. I have many favorites. They're all favorites, but in different ways. So, I picked one that I haven't blogged about before.
This lovely cup and saucer came to me as a gift from my sister, for my birthday a few years ago. I love the bold colors and the hand-painted details. Something about this set prompts me to be contemplative.
The cup and saucer remind me of my sister, too. She is both bold and contemplative, qualities I greatly admire.

A truly lovely teacup and such bold and vibrant colors! I love the design and the style. How neat that your sister gave it to you --- and that it reflects her personality. Very special!
Thank you for participating in the Gracious Hospital-i-Tea Blog-a-Thon!

Very pretty to look at and love the colbalt with all the other colors. Bold indeed.
A very special teacup!
Oh, I love it when teacups tell stories through their owners! Thanks for sharing!
You are awful sweet! I forgot just how beautiful that cup was...I will hopefully catch up with you later.

That is very striking indeed! It's great that it can be a reminder of your sister to you. enjoy...
What a beautiful teacup! Is it made in occupied Japan? It has that look to me - very lovely!
It is certainly striking - very different to the usual porcelain and roses! It must be a talking point when you serve tea in it to your friends.
