It's Teacup Lane joining all the Tea Parties!
Look at this little purple beauty I bought on our trip to Alaska in a gift shop in Cardston, Alberta (Canada) at the Remington Carriage Museum.
As soon as I saw this lovely teacup I had to have it.
Aren't the purple and violet pansies just gorgeous?
I love PURPLE!
Lovely...lovely...just lovely!
Even a flower inside the cup...
This is my first LUXFORD Fine Bone China (Made in England). The Sales Lady said it is getting harder and harder for them to find vintage china teacups made in England.
I'll leave you with a beautiful photo of pansies I took while touring around Alaska.

Lovely cup and saucer! I too like to plant pansies every year- they remind me of my Granddad. He under planted his rose bushes with them.
ReplyDeleteI sent you an email answering your Ravelry Button question. I used the email in your profile.
ReplyDeletePretty teacup and saucer. I love purple too!
Hi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful trip. The pansy teacup is gorgeous and the colours are stunning! A beautiful pattern! You did a lovely job photographing them too. Love the pansies from Alaska! Thanks for sharing your beauties and enjoy your day.
Blessings,
Sandi

The real pansies are beautiful...such a bright and perky flower they are.
ReplyDeleteAnd your purple pansy teacup is beautiful too. There were many years (teens/twenties/thirties) where purple was my all-time favorite color. Now I'm in my 40's', and my color palette has changed a bit...pink, white, and green. But I gravitated to anything purple for years...almost like a magnet.
Today I showed a purple pansy teacup as well. I guess we had similar thoughts this morning (or last night, when I did my post).
Blessings to you,
Patti
Luxford? I have never heard of that company before. I love seeing cups from makers I don't know. This cup is just gorgeous. I love the purple pansies and the gold gilt is fab on it.
ReplyDeleteYour photo of pansies is beautiful as well.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely tea cups with us today.
Hugs,
Terri

ReplyDeleteCheers

Beautiful colors, great photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful colors this tea cup is!! I love purple and come to think of it, I don't know why I don't have a purple or lavender room in my home????? I do have deep purple accents in my upstairs bathroom. When I was a teenager, I painted my bedroon grape sherbet!! Loved it.
ReplyDeleteA totally stuning tea cup!!

Hi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteYour teacup is beautiful, love the purple pansies. My mom would grow pansies when I was a little girl so I am reminded of her when I see them. Have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, I just came across a full dinner set of this pattern (Luxford) and cant find it anywhere on the net except for your teacup, must be very hard to find. I got eggcups, dinner plates, teacups/saucers, salt pepper, candle snuffs and candle holders sugar creamer and more. If anyone is interested in purchasing all of it send me an email wc4free@shaw.ca
