Aunt Colleen's Tea Cups

I can't even begin to photograph all of

The interesting things at my

Great-Aunt Colleen's Home.

I have already shown some of the things that

really caught my eye. . .

Now I want to show you just a few

Of her Tea Cups

. . . . . . .

Of course, my favorite is the one that belonged to my

Great-Great Grandma Pickering. .

 This tea set is about 150 years old. . .

I really like this three footed tea cup and saucer

I told my Aunt this is the one I want. . LOL!

I didn't realize there was such a thing as a three footed cup.

Until I saw this one. . . . and later found out they are very collectible.

Now, I will be on the look-out for a three footed tea cup!

 Another favorite is this little dutch tea cup and tea pot.

 This are just a very small fraction of

what she has collected

Over the past 81 years!

 This little cup and saucer is very treasured by my Aunt.

My Uncle Frank (her husband) served in WWII and also the Korean War

During the Korean War he was stationed in Japan. . .

When he returned home, he gave her this little tea cup and saucer

That he had bought her while in Japan.

I thought this sugar bowl and creamer was unusual.

It has square handles, and a different shaped body.

Very interesting. . .

Well, my Auntie has a lot of treasures and collections.

I love visiting someone who values such

Beautiful things and have amassed a collection of treasures.

It just seems to make the person more interesting.

There is usually a story behind each treasure.

Hope to see you again . . . . .K
Of course I am linking to . . .
