Tea on Tuesday


This cup and saucer is from a service for 8. It also came with a serving bowl and platter and it was the bargain of last summer's yard sale adventures! Never guess what I paid?.......Eight lovely dollars! Yes, only $8 for the entire set! I was so excited I could not get to the car fast enough; I was so afraid the lady would change her mind! It says on the back that it is called Heritage Hall- Ironstone Made in England. Most of the pieces have different houses on them and the platter has a plantation on it. I just love having tea in these cups! I love a great bargain and the thrill of the hunt! I hope everyone is warm and toasty on this Tea for Tuesday-Tea on Tuesday and Teacup Tuesday ( I just love Tuesday's!)

    Donna, this is so pretty, and what a bargain. I had to laugh when you said you were afraid that she would change her mind, lol! Maybe you could show us the other pieces some time?
    have a blessed day and have a cup of tea too :o)

    what a great find! My grandmother had a set like that - I used to love looking at that little village scene and imagining myself way back in the "olden days."

    I hope your day is a sweet one!

    Hi Donna,

    This is the first time I've been to your blog. Welcome to Tea Tuesday. I would say you got a genuine bargain. I am totally impressed and LOVE that cup. I could also be transformed if I were drinking out of it!

    That was a terrific find. The teacup is so pretty with its cottage scene and pretty stylized flower spray inside the cup.

    I love a good bargain hunter's story (with a happy ending *sniff*)

    I'd say you made out like a bandit!
    Gorgeous cup and saucer!
