It is another Teacup Tuesday, and today is cool and cloudy, just right for a nice, hot cuppa. The cup I picked for today is German and has a picture of dear little birds on it. Isn't the handle an impractical shape, though? I got this very cheaply at a flea market a while back. The stamp on the bottom is unreadable, so I can only tell you that it is from Germany. From the style of the decoration, I would date it to about 1910.
I thought I'd also show a few more of my favorite milk jugs (I actually have more jugs than cups! Maybe we should start "Milk Jug Monday".) These are all mottoware from Torquay. I have decided to focus my mottoware collecting on seaside themes, which are a bit more rare than the cottage scenes. I may live in a landlocked area, but I just love the coast!
As usual, for more teacup fun, head over to Artful Affirmations or Martha's Favorites; links are at the right.
Jane, your tea cup is really lovely. I just adore birds on a cup and your cup has the most amazing bird on it. It is really lovely.

I wish you were close enough that we could drink a pleasant cup of tea together! Sweet pictures, Jane.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a bit of motto ware, and it is all so unique. I did a post about it awhile back. Good idea to settle on one theme if you're going to collect, helps keep the clutter down! Nice mottoware pieces you have.
