Teacups And Saucers
Teacups And Saucers are some of the most fun items that you can have in any kitchen. It is not that they are functional like an exotic appliance, but they represent an elegance and formality that we are sorely missing in our daily lives. It may sound a little strange to discuss such things, but look at the teacups that are available. The complex patterns, the elegant feel. These cups were meant for formal teas, tea ceremonies, and memorable times with fiends. Of course, there is the everyday white teacup and saucer that you take for granted. But most teacups and saucers were meant for a much higher purpose.
One fun set that is certainly meant to be used while making memories with friends is the Lenox Butterfly teacup and saucer set. This set is fun and unique. Something that you can drink from and enjoy the intricacy of the art at the same time. These are a relatively cheap, and yet can add a touch of importance to any serving of tea. Try buying these and serving tea to your friends and see if these cups do not add to the overall feeling that these are the friendships and times that should be cherished.
If having the Lenox butterflies and dragon flies so close to your beverage is a little too much design for you then consider something like the Gracie China Rose Chintz collection. These teacups and saucers are your traditional patterns that are covered in flowers, not just a floral outline, but literal flowers and stems, somewhat like you would see on a floral quilt or duvet. These floral teacups and saucers make the person that is served with them feel special and important.
Of course there are even more formal teacups like the Royal Albert Old Country Rose set. This has a single bundle of bold flowers imprinted on the teacup, and then a rim of bold flowers arranged around the edge of the saucer. These teacups are the designs that have been enjoyed by the royalty of the past around the world and will make your afternoon tea much more enjoyable.
If all of this formality is too much for you, and you would rather strike out with fun but still be adult about it then consider Alice in Wonderland teacups and saucers. These are printed with a scene from Alice In Wonderland. They have a fine gold trim and the Alice scene is subtle yet elegant. Overall these pieces will show your guests how important they are and yet still add a little casual fun to any tea.
