Today's tea. by maggiemae

Today's tea.

We remember the beautiful old tea pots and cups of history. In this up-market department store this pottery took my eye! I would love to share a cup of tea with this wonderfully designed set.
Another trip for a medical procedure - that injection in the eye for macular degeneration.
I would love to share a cuppa with you as well.. gorgeous set..

Ooh for that age of elegance Maggie! today seems to be the age of the mugs - but I must admit I do have china mugs! tea tastes so much better! - Hope all goes well with your eye procedure - a friend of mine has those injections!

@beryl This is new, Beryl - appealing to those who like fine china. It's not my eyes that are the problem - hubby's. My job to drive him home from the nearby city.

What delightful china. Hope hubby's eye procedure goes well.

What a lovely tea set. Injections in the eyes sounds dreadful

What a beautiful tea set! I love your photo of it, showing all the intricate detail.

A shot in the eye does not sound fun at all and I hope it’s not a big problem for John.

Beautiful tea set....

I love using my teapot and proper ones like this are a delight.

That is a very handsome tea set. The shine & colour are exceptional. Has a hint of the East perhaps? The days when we brewed tea in a teapot in this house is sadly gone , ah except next week when we have John in on B&B for five nights. He will have a teapot but not as pretty as this one!

Lovely

I’ll have tea please, no sugar thank you.

@bill_gk English breakfast, ....or Earl Grey?

@onewing The eye is anaesthetised Babs - it stops the progress of macular degeneration.

@maggiemae oh English Breakfast please, sorry can’t abide aromatic stuff.
July 13th, 2023  
@grammyn There is a set of cups and saucers to go with the teapot, Katy! We could play 'ladies' together?

@happypat The only thing with these china pots is that they don't keep the tea hot. I have a nice metal one that does.
July 13th, 2023  
@maggiemae ooooh that would be so much fun, Maggiemae.

I can see why this set caught your eye. It is so cheerful. Love your capture of it. A close friend of mine that lives near has had those shots with great results.

What a great still life.
July 14th, 2023  
Pretty!

Lovely still life. I always use a teapot and tea leaves although they are increasingly harder to find in supermarkets. Tastes so much better!
July 14th, 2023  
@tiaj1402 I can find leaves in our supermarket. The choice is there! Leaf tea is so much better and that's why I have a tea timer!
