Down the primrose path!

I decided a while back when I was sorting out cups and saucers to share here, that I would save this one until I could see the sign that spring was definitely springing in my garden - the first primroses - and here they are!


So in honour of spring on the way here is my Primrose cup manufactured by Bourne and Leigh of Burslem.
 

This is such a pretty pattern, not least because of the pretty edging inside the tea cup.



As is so often the case, my cup shows some wear and a little chip. I actually have two teacups, a jam pot and a large dessert bowl in this lovely pattern. The bowl was a silver wedding present from my brother and looks perfect filled with strawberries.

Here is a closer look at the saucer....


..... and the backstamp.


If you would like to know more about Teacup Tuesday, pop over to Terri's lovely Artful Affirmations blog here. You can find links to other people participating in Teacup Tuesday this week as well, so do pop round and visit them too.

Thank you for popping by my virtual china cabinet!
