Teacup Thursday: "Coclough China"

-
“The taking of Tea can be as comforting as a warm embrace.”

This teacup here is made by Colclough China in Longton England. It has a pretty little blue border that goes around the top of the cup and outer edge of saucer. To me it looks and feels really old! Something I’d imagine a heroine from a Jane Austen novel to sip tea out of!
Till next time,

    I only have a few blue teacups in my collection. Mine tend to be pinks and mixed florals. I like this blue and white Colclough.

    It does look really old, love how it matches the cup on the book. Pieces from history are so amazing. Thanks for hosting this wonderful 'tea time'.
