Tea Time 5 - Royal Albert Blossom Time Series Hawthorn
August 11, 2012
I guess of all the English bone china tea cup manufacturers, I am most familiar with Royal Albert. My most collected flower, the rose.
But today I am sharing a beautiful cup and saucer by Royal Albert called Hawthorn in the Blossom Time Series.
A small area of the pattern inside the cup.
The Royal Albert mark.
A very special tea cup in my collection!
But today I am sharing a beautiful cup and saucer by Royal Albert called Hawthorn in the Blossom Time Series.
Dainty fluting on the cup and saucer, small pink and white blossoms and yellow edging.
Sharing is caring
It is quite pretty. I also like that copper colander from the previous post. I have a thing for cool colander's.

So very pretty!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful teacup! I have seen lots of Royal Albert teacups posted and love them, I don't own one but will keep an eye open for one to join my collection.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite, like you, is the love of anything "roses". But I just love, love, love the pattern on this tea cup! How dainty and how beautiful! Can I have? Smile! Seriously, where does one obtain such a beauty?
ReplyDeleteI just found your site and I love it!
I don't know how else to contact you ~ hope you don't mind me going through the "comments" to do so. I tell you the truth that my mouth was watering looking at all the beautiful photos of your home. BUT when I was looking at the dining room [?] there is a floor fan that my jaw dropped at the site of!!! Is that original or did you make the base and stand? I would love this! I showed my husband and he showed tremendous interest. Could you share with us?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Dar
It's a Deco-breeze fan. I bought it at the furniture store I work at but they are online also.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous teacup! Love the pattern! Very similar to Shelley Blossoms. Thanks for sharing your treasure and linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Hi Carlene, I have to tell you I started talking to my computer when I saw your cup. It is stunning. Wow! I have never seen that cup before. I am going to go look for it on Ebay and then repent for coveting! Have a great day! Blessings, Martha
