UNUSUAL TEA TREASURES!
Hello Tea Cup Lovers! Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 35 with Terri and Martha. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to getting back to normal. Sharing our tea cups! (Is that normal?)
I am excited to show you some new pretties. I am in the process of taking off Halloween and putting up Thanksgiving decorations. It feels like Christmas every time I open a bin and discover what I purchased last year! Oh and to my surprise, I found more tea cups! I love it when that happens.
The ones I am sharing with you today are so different from the many others you may have seen in my collection.The very first one is a Haviland Limoges! (Be still my heart!) Just look at the saucer! Have you ever seen any thing like it? Only Limoges, could pull this off. It has a slightly fluted round cup with a kicked loop handle shaped like a ribbon. Beautiful, if I do say so myself!
Cup No. 2 is also a Limoges. It is a rare left-handled cup with an ornate loop handle that looks more like it has been made in gold metal, not porcelain china. I even found a date for this cup c.1983. It is very large and spectacular.
Cup No. 3 is also Haviland Limoges. A very different style for them. It is a slightly waisted tapered cup with unusual angular rustic. The handle is slightly angular. Very pretty!
Cup No 4 is from Denmark. It is so fine that when you hold it to the light, it has a lace designed, only seen in the light. I am not sure if you can see it, but the top of the handle has a smiling face, looking up at you. It is so cute! You can tell I am quite pleased with my new found (under basement) treasures!
The very top picture is a fruit bowl I use in the fall. Perfect shape don't you think? I want to thank all the new ladies who have joined my blog and are now part of the party. It is so fun to go and see your beautiful homes and tea cups. It is like opening a magazine with all it's treasures. Only, unlike the magazine I know you, which makes it so much for fun!
I just had to show thise Venetian glass, it is so beautiful, it must be shared. You know what to do with Mr. Linky.
Thank you so much for always being there for me. Please let me know, if you have an prayer needs. I would love to bring your requests to the Lord. Blessings!

Love them all. I like the last one and it is so unique. I have a new blog up Called My Entertainment Corner. I am doing challenges too. Today is Monday music. Take care! Nancy
Such beautiful teacups - thank you for sharing!
Martha, I love your tea cups! I used to have a square Alka Bavaria? that was teal and gold and was to die for!
All lovely cups but the one with ruffled saucer does take the prize! Happy November ahead, Martha.
Martha, love your teacups!!!

The cups are all gorgeous, but the first is really stunning with that wonderful shape. The jewelry is great too. I love that bug pin with the coral(?) and also the strand of pearls.
The pretty glass is unique too.
As always, Martha, your teacups are all lovely. I especially, like you, love the Limoges one. I don't have any Limoges...one day though.
Also, I always enjoy seeing your lovely "bling." You have SUCH beautiful jewelry.
And that glass IS beautiful. So unique.
Have a lovely evening.
Love,
Patti
love the ruffle edge cup.. looks unique and hard to find one and like always your teacups are just stunning!
Hi, Martha,
I always enjoy seeing your lovely, unique teacups. Limoges is always so beautiful. Love them all!! Happy November and tea party to you~thank you for being our faithful hostess each week~Vicki
I just love your cups! How fun to find them it like finding money in a pocket! The Limoges one is so lovely, love the pearls with the white and gold one! All are just lovely! I would love to stop by your home and see how you display all your lovely teacups!! I haven't been visiting lately, a bit under the weather. Hoping to feel better soon!!!
Hi Martha,
your tea cups are all just wonderful. I can't tell you which I like best. The Limoges tea cups are so delicate and nice decorated. You own really a huge collection of stunning cups. Thank you for showing your treasures.
Greetings, Johanna
As usual, all your teacups are lovely, but you're right, I have never seen a teacup like the Limoges! Beautiful and unique. Imagine , you being surprised by finding teacups in boxes you put away~ you are so funny Martha !
The diner ware caught my eye - I have some of the same pattern. But the other cups are gorgeous!! Teacups and costume jewelry- what could be better!!! I put a link to your post in my Tea on Tuesday post today- http://artfullyooglebloops.blogspot.com/2010/11/sipping-your-tea-today-i-will-have-to.html
Good morning Martha,
Your teacups are very nice. I think I like the last white and gold one from Denmark best. I like the simplicity of it. The Venetian glass is gorgeous! Lovely post, my friend. Have a wonderful day.
Blessings,
Sandi

Hi Martha,
Love your beautiful Limoges teacup and the Venetian glass ~ don't you find a cup of tea always tastes so much better in a pretty cup.

I've always loved teacups but never realized till recently that kindred souls out there in blogland were hosting parties featuring china. Love your wavy-saucered Limoges, btw!
