Delights of the Heart: Monday's Tea Quote

"Tea is quiet and our thirst for tea

is never far from our craving for beauty."

~James Norwood Pratt

The cup is quite old teal transferware,

made in England before handles were added.

Mary said...: Is that your own cup and saucer Marilyn? It's beautiful and would date back to the 1700's I think.

I love cups and also drinking bowls - the tiny Chinese ones, the somewhat larger Thai ones I bought while there, and of course French latté bowls - so warming to hold on a damp Feb. day. . . . . . like today! Not cold at all, but wet and dreary.

Red Rose Alley said...: I've never seen tea cups without a handle before, interesting. I love old things, and this is so pretty, Marilyn.

Tracy said...: The thirst for tea is the thrist for beauty... YES! Put in those words, yes I can see that is how it is... and how I sometimes experience tea. A tea break is a beauty break! This handle-less cup is so precious, Marilyn. I've not often seen those kinds of cups. I like them. Though it is easier with a handle... ;) Happy new week, my friend ((HUGS)); February 13, 2018 at 2:04 AM
