I have paired another rose from my garden with a new teacup again this week.
I found this lovely Paragon teacup at The Guild Shop
(a cross between Antiques Roadshow and Grandma's attic).

I love the red and yellow roses on this teacup on the inside and outside.Unfortunately, none of my yellow roses were blooming.The red rose had to save the day!
There is a gold edge around the saucer and the pedestal of the cup, gold around the rim of the cup and a little gold splash on the handle.The saucer is lightly fluted as is the hourglass cup.This teacup is a joy to hold in the hands ... with tea or without!

I am preparing to lead a Food and Feasting tour at the museum for a university class.I love doing these tours. I've done so many of them that I try to come up with something a little different so that I am not bored.This year I'm going to visit the India galleries.The spices used in food and the three major tea growing areas --Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiriand tie it all to objects in the collection.Should keep me on my toes!
A big thank you to our tea party hosts:
