Welcome! How are you today? We're having lots of cold rain today and tomorrow, which makes me so very sleepy. However, it's the perfect weather for a deliciously, delightful cup of tea!
I was going to share this tea cup and saucer set around Christmas time, but time slipped by so fast. I photographed this back in December, so you might see some Christmas decorations in the background
This pattern is called "Holly"and is part of a series by Royal Albert. It's all beautifully handpainted. There are red and yellow berries, pale green and dark green leaves. The red holly berries are raised on the cup and saucer, so that you get a 3D effect when running your fingertips over the pattern.
The cup has lots of lovely, gold trim: on the handle, the rim, inside the cup and at the bottom.
The green on the leaves is so vibrant in person as are all the colors on this cup and saucer set.
The bottom of the cup with its Royal Albert stamp.
Thanks so much for visiting me today.

I know what you mean about potential blog posts slipping without posting. Thanks for sharing this pretty Christmas teacup. I have not seen this Royal Albert before.
Dear Michele,
I have the very same cup and it sure is a sweet one. I love the shape, colors and holly.
Merry Christmas or ah, happy spring.

This tea cup would be perfect, in my opinion, for the holiday season. Lots of spruce making the house smell scrumptious and glittered red berries, and a fabulous holiday tart with tea. Great Cup!
