For this week, since it is Breast Cancer Awareness month I thought I would show something with pink as a dominant color. As a Breast Cancer Survivor for 10 years now I think this is a VERY important month! However, don't forget all the other cancer's that folks suffer with have "causes" that may not be well "supported." Remember them and support them as well.... (Enough said... I will get off my little soapbox.)
This past week we were able to go to our favorite farmers market and while there my husband found and later surprised me with this beautiful cup, saucer and plate set. It is from a company I have not heard much about.... Royal Chelsea.
Royal Chelsea was produced
by New Chelsea China Co Ltd Longton. Staffordshire Potteries from about 1943 to
1961.
I think they make stunningly beautiful china so I will certainly be on the lookout for MORE!!!
When I checked out the marks on these pieces I learned that the cup and saucer were probably made prior to 1951.... and this is the mark on them.
The plate's mark was newer. It was made sometime after 1951 however they still could have been bought together if the store still has come of the older stock, or perhaps they ordered the plate later on.
I really liked this set and even though Royal Chelsea is a bit new to me I shall be on the lookout for MORE!
After you visit my post today be sure to check out these other tea posts.
ALSO: Rose Chintz Cottage
AND, check back on Friday. I am working on about fabric flowers. I found an interesting way to make them using a special tool. I am hoping to have enough finished petals... yes that is a small hint, to have something to show you!
