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!

That is very striking indeed! It's great that it can be a reminder of your sister to you. enjoy...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful teacup! Is it made in occupied Japan? It has that look to me - very lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
