Teacup Thursday: An Old German Teacup

-
What a fast week this has been...Tea Cup Thursday is here again! This week's special tea cup is:

My dear friend Char, an avid antique collector, knows how much we love tea cups. On one of her outings, she happened upon this lovely pair and shared them with Miss Spenser and I...so, today will be "double fun" as we both get to enjoy our own Tea Cup Thursday!    In preparing for Tea Cup Thursday, we had fun doing a little "tea cup research" about the stamp on the bottom. If we are correct, these tea cups are very old! The marking on the bottom is "Welmar" which is diagonally placed inside a shield emblem. Apparently a German China Company by the name of Fasolt & Eichel produced tableware, porcelain, decorative china, coffee and tea sets from 1846-1917. Don't you just love old things?!

The Teapot pictured in the photo is one of our new additions to the gift shop area...if you are interested, let us know, we have a limited supply available.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Mom was the first to get this set of “Cup of Christmas Tea” teacup and teapot. She received them many years ago by a friend in California, Dayna Esquivel. When we moved out here to the country, Mom and I began enjoying tea together in the afternoons. That Christmas Mom found another set of “Christmas Tea” teacups and teapot and purchased them for me! We always get these teacups out at Christmas and sip tea out of them on a regular basis. They hold many found memories of teatime with my mom! May you have a blessed Christmas!! Other's Who Are Participating in Teacup Thursday! The Hope Chest Rose Chintz Cottage Antiques and Teacups
