Hello Tea Lovers! Welcome once again to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 53! A fun day when we get to share all our pretty tea things. I know that some of you may have noticed that I did not visit everyone last week. I was so sick last week, all I could do was think! Dangerous, I know. I just needed my Mama, but I did not dare to have her over because I did not want to get her sick. So, I am sorry for not visiting all of you last week. I will do better this week, I promise.
This week's post is going to be very different. I am only going to show you only two tea cups, today. I do have one or two more, but I wanted to show you some other tea items that came to mind while I was busy being sick. Did I ever tell you that I collect California Pottery, to be honest vintage pottery in general? Well, I do! Although my collection is not as extensive as my China collection. It can hold it's own. In fact, I decided (remember, I was thinking) I was going to thin out my rather large collection of pottery bowls I own. Up on Ebay they will go! The two pitchers above are something I use during teas for water. They are Hall's. Love the pastel colors and the Art Deco style.
This first cup is by Poppy Trail. It is called "Lotus". This is one of three everyday sets I use. Sometimes, you are just in the mood for Pink! I love the color and the design of this cup.
Cup No. 2 is Fiesta ware. Usually, my sister will come by and take whatever Fiesta I have so this is an ever changing collection. Love the Art Deco design on this one.
I have a rather large collection of vintage pottery teapots. (Thinking puts you in a confession mood.) This first one is a Bauer, speckled tea pot. Love the pink.
These next two are a Fiesta, tea pot and coffee pot. I had several different colors, but my sister, oh well. I will see how long these two last.
This next tea pot was a gift from my Mama in 1972. It has more to the set, but I just wanted to show you the tea pot. It is a favorite because she gave it to me.
The teapot at the top of the post is an "Unsigned Beauty". Amazing for pottery, don't you think? Well, I hope you enjoyed these different tea items this week. I know that Terri and I always enjoy the day. Terri is so wonderful, please visit her.
I know I have talked too much, sorry! You know what to do with Mr. Linky. Enjoy your Tea Cup Tuesday in blogland. Have a beautiful week and remember you are loved. Hugs, Martha

Martha, Your tea things and pottery are lovley. I was really curious about that last one, the creamy white/pink floral tea pot that was a gift from your mommy :) :) Who is the maker/what's on the backstamp? I have a plate that would possibly coordinate very well with your tea pot!!!! Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
Oh Martha, what wonderful teapots! The blue ones are such a pretty shade! Love the pink Lotus teacup!
You have such a wonderful collection and it's always fun to come see what you're sharing from week to week!
I hope you're feeling better. I was sick the week before last. I take a Cold FX every day and it has sure helped me ward off cold and flus! Normally I pick up everything on the go because my immune system is very weak but the Cold FX pills really help. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week.
Blessings and hugs,
Sandi
Oh, Martha. Sooooo sorry you were sick. Hope you are 100 percent back to healthy now. Enjoyed looking at your treasures. Guess what? I'm able to participate in Tea Cup Tuesday today! Hurrrayyyyyy! Hugs, Susan
Hi Martha!
So sorry to hear you were sick I hope your fully recovered soon! Thanks for sharing so many wonderful pieces of Fiesta! Hope you have a wonderful week!
Dear Martha
I hope you are feeling in the pink now!!
How could one choose a favorite teapot?
Great collection.
Look forward to seeing you next week.
Blessings,
Pam
Beautiful Martha! And I love how you put your gorgeous jewelry along with your china. This is definitely a Martha tradition!
Your cups are very sweet today. I love them both, but am partial to the pink.
It must be hard to thin out. Choosing which pieces to let go of. But good for you!
I always tell myself that if I bring something new into the house, some thing must go out!
I am sorry you have been so ill, and I am sending you healing hugs! I hope you feel much better very soon.
Terri
Beautiful! I love the "lotus" one; it's so pretty.
Thank you for hosting this link party.
Have a great week!
Martha, I'm sorry to hear that you were sick, but, I'm glad you're feeling better now.
You have so many beautiful dishes! I love the water pitchers, and the cups are so pretty! I bet your sister really LOVES shopping in your home! lol
Love the teapot from your mother. That's a beautiful treasure.
Dear Martha Your tea things and pottery are very lovley, I lake it!
Beautiful colors...
Kisses and happy Tuesday.
Hello Martha,
your potterey is as amazing as your china teacups. Like the soft colors and the Art Deco shapes. The plain colors are so nice with your additional blings.
Martha, I am happy to read, that you are feeling better now. I think, we all know this feeling and sometimes it is more important to brace oneself instead of hopping around to visit everybody.
Bless your and have a great week.
Johanna
Oh Martha, poor you!! I hope you're feeling much, much better now! I love your posts - they are always so prettily styled :-)
I'm particularly partial to the Fiesta tea and coffee pots in that beautiful hue of blue - I can understand your sister tea-napping your Fiesta ware!
Jem xXx
I absolutely love your vintage potteries, the tea pots and teacups color are lovely! the jewelleries are so timeless, love them! Thanks for hosting and sharing these lovelies, Martha! x
Oh Martha, again you make me smile and laugh ! Being sick makes you think too much? Good thing you are not sick too often, we would not want you thinking too much. :)
You still have your Mama, you are so blessed. A mama, and a sister to share your great pottery finds. I love reading your posts, your humor and love of life just shine through all you write, even if you are sick !
Dear Martha,
I do hope you are feeling better!!
I love the 2 tea cups that you chose for this week. I have a fiesta ware yellow one but mine is a different shape.
And I LOVE all of the tea pots that you have showed us today!!The last one is my fave!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Super springy colors. I have collected Hall teapots in the past but had to prune during a downsizing move 4 years ago. I still miss several of them! Thanks for the reminder and breath of spring!
Ruth
So many beautiful things. I have a few fiesta ware pieces too.
Such a beautiful collection of pottery. I'm particularly fond of the flower shaped pink tea cup. I love all of the darling petals.

Martha, I'm so happy you are better - stay well!
Your vintages are happily delightful. Aren't those colors fun?! They remind me of all those wonderful items that I grew up with, but took for granted...now would be so treasured.
Isn't the story of Fiesta Ware amazing. It was introduced during the depression, and was very popular because it allowed people to buy dinnerware in affordable pieces - just what they needed or wanted without having to purchase large sets.
Enjoy your day.
Joyfully,
Marianne
Get better soon dear friend. It is always so wonderful to visit your tea party - a true hostess with the mostest! Thank you for sharing another wonderful day with us.

Love all your pretty cups and teapots, but really love the rose teapot from your mama. How precious that must be to you. Do hope you are feeling much better. Don't overdo, I have heard this flu can come back even stronger. Blessings.
Hi Martha, so sorry to hear you were ill last week, hoping you are feeling much better now. I love your pink cup - such a warm colour and a pretty design. The Fiesta yellow is also wonderful, such a classic simple shape, but that colour makes it like a cup of sunshine. Thanks for sharing your treasures and I hope you have a much better week. Sending virtual hugs from the UK. Elaine x
