Tea Time (Sort Of)

I don't drink, but I have shot glasses. I don't smoke, but I have an ash tray. I don't drink coffee or tea, yet I have...

teacups! And I am sure you can see why.

Both my mother and my Grandma Honeywell collected teacups, and I inherited their collections. I let family members take the ones they wanted, packed the rest away, but this one is kept on display in my china cabinet.


As a child, I used to trace the route of the hunt starting with the outer rim and following the black line around the spiral to the center of the saucer.


It's an old piece although I don't know just how old it is.


Like the saucer, the cup has a circling pattern.


There is just as much happening on the cup

 
as there is on the saucer.


The house and three horses and the hounds all gallop around the cup.

I may not drink tea or coffee, but you know what? Hot chocolate tastes really good when it is in a pretty teacup like this!

Tomorrow we will look at yet another item I have that I acquired simply because it is horsey.

Stay 'tooned!
