Here's one of my small teacups--I think I purchased it at an antique shop years ago--there was no saucer, and there isn't a stamp on the bottom of the cup, so I don't know anything about it, except that it's pretty, and the handpainting on it is beautiful. The pearlized finish and the gold leafing seem to lend a "fairy-like" air to it, don't you think? I am not a "teacup connoisseur" but I do have a collection of sweet cups that I love. Hop on over to Artful Affirmations to see links to all the beautiful teacups this week!

HI Jann,
This is such a sweet little cup, and so delicate too. I love the posey of flowers, and it looks like a luster ware cup as well. Those are usually made in Japan, but not always.
Hugs,
Terri

Such a beautiful teacup!
I love the teacup and I love your blog. May I ask where you found your header? Have a nice day!
You're right, this is a very pretty teacup, and maybe the bit of mystery surrounding it's history makes it all the more intriguing and appealing. I like what 'thewhitechair' said ...what would this teacups' story be?
Thank you so much for your answer. Yes, I have knitted those pants, and everything else you find in my blog.;) Have a nice day.
Hi Jann: Love the Lusterware cup. It is so cute. Thank you for sharing it with us this week. Blessings, Martha
oh my goodness... I have a teacup that is so similar to yours. The base on mine is different, as it has little feet, but the shape and the look of the inside is almost identical.
How's that for interesting... as I don't think I've been to your site before!
what a beautiful cup! I love the iridescent colors that reflect from it!
