My most favourite cup?

If I had to pick just one cup from my collection, this could be the one to rescue - I totally adore everything about this - the pattern and shape and yet it is far from one of the most valuable. 



The view from above shows how the delicate cup is beautifully shaped to reflect the saucer.








The hande is a classic angular, stepped Art Deco shape.




As the backstamp indicates, this pattern was manufactured by CWS - the Co-operative Wholesale Society which would suggest this pattern was made for everyday usage for sale through Co-op department stores. Despite my research, I have not been able to find anything much more about this pattern.



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!
