Love red transferware...there is always something so cheerful about it. We had a dusting of snow, but spring is definitely creeping closer! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cupps Tea! Ruth
Some of the tea ladies call them toast and tea sets. Doesn't matter, it just means there's room for something to eat beside the tea cup and with me, it would be sweet. I've not seen a red transferware set, very nice. I hope spring is around the corner too Snap, a small corner. Judith
I love red transferware, and that tea and scone plate. Victorian Trading Company has some great items. Thanks for stopping by my blog Snap. Oh, and I love the baby elephant and giraffe from your previous post. 6'6" at birth?? wow.
Aren't those luncheon plates lovely to use? I have some with vintage cars on them and love to use them with my car crazy Robert and our car crazy friends. :)
Thanks for your visit. I have heard of this style of tea set called tennis racket set. Now I know there is better name.;)
Take care, Felicity

For the last tea day in February,
I've pulled out an old favorite, some red transferware.

My Granny called these luncheon plates.
Victorian Trading Company calls them tea and scone sets.
Tea and toast sounds good to me!

Is Spring around the corner?
I hope so!
The Huffington Post shared an article from the Elephant Journal on Tea and Ritual
that you might be interested in reading.
I'm joining some tea parties today:

Wishing you well, much joy and a lovely cup of tea!

What a great serving plate. So pretty and very practical! Spring is probably on your doorstep, but not on mine.

The red tea set surely does look Victorian...in flavour anyway. And the flowers you have chosen to go with it are perfect.

Your flower sure makes me dream of spring. I have not heard of transfer ware.
