I don't really have any Christmas china for a tea party..... but this first set will do very nicely I think. I do love Ivy and here is a beautiful example. The extra nice thing is that it also included a matching plate.
Here is a picture of the mark. It is Crown Staffordshire fine bone china.
I have joined with the following Tea Cup Tuesday Tea Parties.
These may not be available every week so check to be sure.
Hope you will visit them too.

How wonderful to be gifted with teacups...and a perfect person! Jove the ivy, and perfect for the season! I LOVE blueberries! We have a lot of them here, but ours are bigger. Just love them fresh from the organic growers. Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

I love your ivy teacup trio, Beth! What a lovely gift! Ivy is always perfect for Christmas and brings to mind the song of the Holly and the Ivy. Your turnovers look yummy and blueberries are so good for you. Thank you for joining me for tea and have a lovely week.
Christmas blessings,
Sandi
How wonderful that your friend has gifted you with teacups. She knows they're going to a good home.
I'm almost exclusively a plain black tea lover with the exception of Constant Comment. One of my favorites too. Those scones look yummy, and that last picture made me think, like Sandi, of the song the Holly and the Ivy.
Christmas blessings to you Beth. xo Deborah
Hi Beth, I adore your ivy teacup trio. It's really beautiful! Have a wonderful Christmas!
The ivy trio is a timeless pattern and quite suitable for Christmas.
I'm glad your friend entrusted you with some of her china; something many of us may have to consider as our homes downsize.
Blueberries are a staple in my oatmeal every morning, I picked enough in August to last me the winter.
What a sweet, dear, thoughtful friend to gift you with that pretty set, Beth. Constant Comment is a favorite of mine, too. I love the fragrance and the flavor of it.
Pieces are so much more special when they are from a friend. Lovely Ivy. Merry Christmas!
What a lovely gift from your friend and she will be glad to know that you are putting this set to such great use already!! xx
Hi Beth,

Hi Beth, just stopped in from Roses on My Table to see your pretty tea cups! I love them too. I have collected the small ones for a tea party set for my granddaughters. Just a great way to pamper yourself with a tea in a beautiful tea cup!
