My parents are moving so I’ve been going to their house and collecting things that are mine from years (and years) past. What a lovely surprise to come across these great mini tea/espresso cups! They are perfectly lined in gold and come with coordinating saucers!
{Thanks to Julia for telling me about Limoges. As described by Julia, Limoges is the beautiful fine porcelain gelato-coloured tea cups and accessories made in Limoges, France that go by that name. They are the epitome of the elegant tea party. They are usually rimmed in gold, and there are many copycats. Very expensive, but so delightful. It’d be a dream to own a set, or even just one tea cup and saucer!}
Those are beautiful!
ohh, they are the most gorgeous cups, such colour 🙂 and then the gold rimming … sigh…
So pretty! They look like Limoge with those lovely colours and the gold. BTW after seeing the Flea Market Style book here I ordered it on Amazon and got it this week – I love it! The photos are so gorgeous, I’m feeling very inspired. Not sure how it will go with a super-minimalist Tokyo apartment, but I can try and work in a few touches…
Oh-so-Limoges, and oh-so-lucky that you found them! It’s my dream to have a Limoges set *sigh*
such beauty to behold!
you know how jealous i am right now.
absolutely gorgeous!
Joy!!! Gold handles! Betcha can’t microwave those 😉
