This teacup is from a Nortake China set that belonged to my hubby's aunt. She gave this teacup to my daughter. The pattern is Lauritz. I think it is interesting that the cup was actually made in Japan, but on the back it say "U.S. Design Pat applied for".
My dear hubby's aunt has been such a blessing to our family. She never had any children of her own, but she became kind of a grandma to my children. We always enjoyed doing things together and she was always so much fun to be with. She is 93 years old now and her memory is failing, but she still knows who we are :-) Check out Kim's blog and visit the other wonderful teacup offerings today!

That is a lovely teacup. I have an aunt who also never had any children...I have been very close to her also. It is so nice to have family pieces isn't it?
Very pretty cup! My daughter used to host a Mother's Day Tea where all the ladies would bring a wrapped tea cup to trade. It was so much fun!
How wonderful that you share your life with your old Aunt !! God is Smiling on you!!

Lovely. I should start to do Tuesay teacup too, although I only have about 6 or so. My sister offered to let me have about 6 more that were my mom's but I had no safe way to get them home on the airplane. The ones I have are from my husband's grandmother.
Beautiful. You ladies who are picturing your gorgeous tea cups inspired me to picture some of my beautiful vintage linens, etc... Check out my newest post.
