Teacup Tuesday





I bought myself a new teacup and saucer with side plate yesterday, from a community garage sale page.
I'm hoping it's the first of many.
My understanding is that this cup was made sometime between 1954 to 1973.

    Oh yes! This is a lovely set! I think the florals have such a wonderful display of color, that it makes this pattern unique. Yay for you finding a tea cup set!
    Thanks so much for sharing your find with us.
    Hugs,
    Terri

    I'm catching up on everyone's photos after being away from the computer for a couple of days. I have really enjoyed your recent photos, especially the Yellow Robin and the teacup - so pretty :)

    Lovely cup! My Mum has a set and this is the third of the Royal Albert Moss Rose sets as the cup is a montrose style (name of cup shape).
    It is the early 1970's set and I think it's discontinued now and the cup, saucer and bread plate sets sell for around $30-$35 in "as new" condition so if you attained it for less than that you really achieved a bargain!

    Thanks Robyn & Debbie for dropping by. There's so much to learn about one little trio isn't there? I think I'll have to start keeping notes on my acquisitions!
    I was lucky enough to pay around half the asking price you state Robyn. Although I didn't know how much they'd be in the shops I knew it was a bargain. I've seen trios in worse state selling for more.
    The Japanese version is cute too Debbie. I'll keep an eye out for it.
    I may have the beginnings of a mismatched tea set!
