Teacup Thursday: Liberty Blue by Johnson Brothers

-
Happy Fourth of July!! We hope you all have a wonderful 4th...we are so excited because we will be spending it with family...the cousins are all around the same age, so they are looking forward to a really nice time together.

With the holiday here, we thought today it would be fun to share with you another one of our favorite transferwares - Liberty Blue - Historical Colonial Scenes. The scene on the cup is of Paul Revere yelling, "The British are Coming...the British are coming..." How fun to have a bit of history on a teacup! Have a great weekend!

    I have several different sizes of Liberty Blue plates here at my house. But I don't have any of the tea/coffee cups and saucers yet. I love the color, and the history in the pictures.

    This is one of my favorite patterns, I have a set of the same cups. I especially enjoy how it's made in England. Funny how England produced a pattern of a battle defeating the British.
