Teatime Tuesday

 Welcome to Teatime Tuesday!  


Today I want to show you my most interesting tea cup.  It is a lovely soft aqua color and has really interesting details.


 Here is the marking on the bottom of the teacup - I've tried to Google this but am not finding it.  Any one familiar with this company?


 The saucer is just a bit darker in color than the tea cup.


 I think the details are really stunning - 


 It is very fine china - very thin...


 Loveliness...

I bought this teacup in Vermont about 2 years ago.  I don't use it often but I do use it.  It's just lovely.

I am having such fun getting to know new friends that love tea and all things tea related as well.

Thanks for joining me today - don't forget to visit Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for Teatime Tuesday.  And Lady Katherine's Tea Parlor.  
I am also joining Trish at Lily-Rose Cottage for L.A.C.E.

  5. Near as I can tell, your cup would date between 1907-1956. I believe the company is still in production today. I just Googled Rosenthal Bavaria China. you might try looking on Replacments.com - they have loads and loads of patterns, etc. Beautiful set!

  10. Stunning is the exact word that I was going to use! Yes, I have seen other rosenthal pieces and they too had that creamy thick glaze look, and the raised detail. I LOVE it!

  11. Hi Deanna,
    Oh my, what a pretty teacup and in my favourite colour too! It is just beautiful with its lovely embossed design and shape. It does remind one of a cameo. I have never seen one like it. It truly is a delight to the eyes. I am so happy you have shared this with Tea Time. I am a new follower and it's very nice to 'meet' you. Have a delightful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi
