This is what's left of a child's tea set that was brought here from France in the 1800s by my great-grandmother. (This is all of it that I inherited from my grandmother, and I'm pleased that it's still intact.) [To see more ABC posts, go here.] |

Nicely appropriate 19th-century, antiqued-sepia effect.
ReplyDeleteWhether we are imbibing wine at a French café one day or tea from a French tea set the next, it is all good, isn’t it?
Oui! (Actually, this is not a sepia effect—I guess 19th-century children weren't as into garish colors as kids today are.)
DeleteOh what a sweet tea set and how lucky you are to have it still! I just bought a china tea infuser mug, and then carelessly tried to carry too many item. . .broke the lid! Take good care of these items!!
ReplyDeleteThese look precious to me. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy ABCW!
It's beautiful. I don't own any tea set but admire other's. Well, I did when I was in kindergarten. :)

Such lovely detail, and HISTORY.

Priceless ! Its sad though that some people do not feel/see the emotional value of an heirloom!

I love the history, and the emotional value it was from your great grandmother, and a different place on the globe - all attached to this little set.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are! The pieces are gorgeous!
