Tea Time 6 - Mayfair Yellow

August 19, 2012
I am continuing my weekly teacup and saucer series "Tea Time" today with a bright yellow tea cup and saucer from Mayfair China, England.

This Mayfair teacup has no exterior pattern. Just a beautiful little bouquet of pink and blue flowers to enjoy each time you take a sip of tea.


This made in Japan figurine, the "yellow tambourine lady" complements the yellow teacup. The book "The Shell Seekers", by Rosamunde Pilcher was a recent purchase for $2 at a Friends of the Public Library sale.


Also beautiful gold edging.






I added this teacup and saucer to my collection last month for $4. I walked by it a few days at the consignment shop, because it's not my usual taste in teacups, but I eventually had to give it a "good home".

  2. Hi Carlene: That is a bright, beautiful little tea cup. The little nosegay inside is just right to give it a softer feel. Couldn't you set a very pretty tea table if you had a few of those same pieces, with a daffodil centerpiece in the spring?.Happy Sunday..Judy P.S. I love the new look.

  7. Love your tea cup, but my eye was really caught by the book under it. I love Rosamunde Pilcher! As matter of fact I'm in the process of rereading Winter Solstice, just because I like how it takes me away - to a different place!

  10. Hi Carlene,
    Your teacup has happy written all over it! The wee bouquet inside just makes it so cute. I read The Shell Seekers years ago. What could be better than a cup of tea and a good book? Thank you for joining me for tea today and enjoy your week.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  14. So she is a rescue cup! Lol! I think she is a sweet vintage Mayfair cup. I love how vibrant the yellow is, and her flowers are very retro too. Great find!
