cracked cup and saucer

Family lore has it that Bonnie Prince Charlie drank from this cup. I'm not sure which part of the family - no information about this was with the cup and saucer. I don't think the family was living in the Hebrides, but inland.

Such a lovely keepsake even though it’s damaged. I like the idea that Bonnie prince Charlie’s used it.

[Margaret Brown]

Such a wonderful piece of history if what your family lore says, makes no matter about the crack!

[Call me Joe]

👌❤️👌

Terrific POV for the photo. How exciting to consider its historical background

[Babs]

A lovely keepsake.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

You never know! It's worth keeping just for how pretty it is.

[Shutterbug]

It sure makes for a good story though.

[John Falconer]

I've just this minute I was listening to and singing along with Kenneth McKellar singing "Bonnie Charlie's no awa'," !! One of the saddest songs I know.

[Kathy A]

Wow, that's a great story

[Delwyn Barnett]

It looks as though it has been around for a few years!!

[Issi Bannerman]

Ah, well, you never know! Keep it safe. x

[Wylie]

its a good bit of family lore, true or false can never be proven!

[Corinne C]

Thanks to all you guys and gals. Hard to believe this cup could be that old but one never knows. There are places all over the northeast USA that say "George Washington slept here." Who could possibly prove us wrong. 😉

[Renee Salamon]

A cup with a history no less - it's lovely

[Kathy Burzynski]

Oh such a beautiful photo of a great family treasure. I think the mystery of it makes it even more intriguing.

I read some of the comments when I saw John's @johnfalconer. And so I googled the song and found this on YouTube. It does sound rather sad. I even looked up the lyrics and it is sad.

This cup says a story …

[Kathy]

@cocobella Yes. If it's as old as Bonnie Prince Charlie, it's 230+ years old. Can't believe it.

[Dorothy]

Keep the story going, it maybe true. It’s a lovely cup and saucer.

@illinilass Thank you.
