Tea: In Blue And White



  I bought this sweet teapot last week at Christmas Tree Shops.  The blue and white caught my attention.

 I paired it with a few teacups for the top of my mantel.


 
 This teacup was purchased at Yorktown, Virginia.  I like its shape and the footed cup.

 This tea cup is a lovely blue transferware pattern.

I also have a set of four of these Spode Blue Room teacups.

 And these great little ironstone bowls by Johnson Brothers.

I'm joining today with Bernideen and with Sandi for some party fun!

It's close to impossible to improve on blue and white dinnerware, in my opinion. (Not sure I've ever seen a footed cup before! How special.)

What lovely pieces you have Deanna. The little onion pattern in the last picture is identical to the plate I have of Grandmother's. Just treasures...thank you for sharing today!

I've never met blue transfewares that I didn't like! I especially adore the teacup with the cute little feet!

Ooh...love this blue and white. The second teacup you featured looks very much like the Courier & Ives set of dishes I have. Blue and white always makes such a statement and is a great accent for any color scheme, don't you think?
