Firstly, a big Thank You to all of those wonderful 26 who have been following this Blog, it really makes it feel worth while and very special! I don't like to gush, but all this means a great deal to me right now. 
Alright, I'm holding my hands really high, I admit it, I have a tea-set addiction, there I said it. But this one is special (do I sound like a teenager introducing their latest love interest?)
It is perfect though isn't it? Actually it is, there isn't one little chip.
The maker's mark is a sideways diamond shape with the letters TOA in it - and it is really petite and delicate.
All for a whooping £2.00 at CS, contented sigh, life is good.
I am very, very determined to use this, but I think it averages out at eight of these tea cups to one of my normal clunky mugs.
If anyone knows anything on this design or maker, I would love to know more please, over a cuppa perhaps?

These are beautiful! I'm sorry I don't know anything about that marking though. You are already entered into my give away, all you had to do was leave a comment on my post. Good Luck! Have a nice day! Twyla
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely, what a find. They'd have to be hidden away in my house or they'd be broken in a flash!

I THINK my mum has a book of china marks and I am going to her home tomorrow! (This involves an aeroplane.) If I can find the book I'll do some research for you. That tea set is very special indeed. I saw a wonderful clock (very large) made out of individual cups and saucers - one for each hour. It was in a French magazine and I've always wondered about recreating it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tea set and such a bargain too!
ReplyDeleteLove your previous post, you had some wonderful ideas for you wedding!
ooo pretty tea set - 1 sugar for me please ;-)

Hi Fleur
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say crafty prozac should be patented as a phrase for only your use. Not odd, just perfect - thanks for that.
Have a great weekend.

Soooo beautiful. I love china with flowers, and the shape of the cups is lovely. Sorry, I dont know the maker either X
ReplyDeleteHi again! Do you know what you have done, building up the piratey theme on my blog? I'm now going round the charity shops of Edinburgh with my map unfurled, humming 'Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me' under my breath! (Or hopefully under my breath - when loud vehicles went past I think I got a bit louder!)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, pictures of the first haul of treasure are now available on my blog, thanks to a morbid fear of Lululiz getting any crosser...
PS - my mum thinks she knows where her china mark book is so I'm on the trail!
