Hello Snap, Both your teacup and your rose are beautiful! Alas, I won't see my roses bloom until June. The Rose tea sounds lovely. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week.
So Pretty! You did a great job creating the perfect afternoon tea. I've never had Rose Petal Tea, but I think I must try and find it. Blessings! Geneva
Please have a sip of tea for me. Something with which to refresh your day was the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day. I like the container for the tea, too!
Wonderful cup! A feast for the eyes to see and luxury to drink from. Exciting with a tea with rose petals and buds. I wish you a week filled with great test for! Zinnia
Oh sweet, sweet, sweet! It is unusual to find these pale blue rose cups. Your is so lovely and so vintage! The rose bud tea looks delicious too. Enjoy! Hugs, Terri
I am so envious. I had a lovely rose garden. Unfortunately the deer thought it was delicious. Maybe I will plant one or two on our deck as I love them.
Hi Snap, thats really an elegant tea cup. Love the calm colors. And the rose is beautiful. So nice to have it on the own balcony. Tea with rose buds sound interesting for me. I have never had. best greetings, Johanna
I wouldn't be able to resist it either... such lovely soft colours... and perfect for a Springtime sip of tea... I can't wait for the roses to start budding... drinking Rose petal tea is just another plus for this teatime tuesday .. ENJOY ...Hugs
Hi: What a beauiful tea cup! I have to tell you that Rose Pedel Tea is my favorite. I love the way it smells and the restful feeling you get just drinking it. Hugs, Martha

Tea and Roses.
Who can resist?
I couldn't when I found this lovely tea cup at The Guild Shop
(a cross between Antiques Roadshow and Grandma's attic).
[Image]
It is a pale bluish grey with a gold edge on the saucer, gold rim on the cup,
and a splash of gold on the handle.The saucer is lightly fluted as is the hour-glass shaped cup.
The cup has a small pedestal base.
Look at the little rose on the inside of the cup.
Perfect (or purrrfect as Teddy and Cassie would say)!
The bottom of both the cup and saucer are marked:
Elizabethan Fine Bone China England.
The rose is from my balcony garden.I'm having Rose Petal Tea by The Republic of Tea.It is a limited edition tea that was available during February for Valentine's Day.Rose Petal Tea is tea for the Queen of Hearts! Black tea leaves blended with rose buds and petals ... a very pretty tea.
