tea in a china cup
Today I bought a tea set for twenty pounds. My mother and my aunts always collected royal doulton and my mother always said that these things were for use rather than show. So now I have my own. Spotted, I might say, by ianmcdonald on the way from the pub to the cashpoint in holywood in the marie curie shop. MADE FOR R HOGGS OF BELFAST 20 PIECE SET. we thought they were great. Stuck my head round the door and asked them to keep it for me this morning. Returned an hour later and they had everything wrapped.
NOW FOR THE ANTIQUES ROADSHOW made for Hoggs of Belfast which went in the late 80s early 90s hand painted on transfer on bone china (you can see through it) McDonald industries thinks it is 50s 60s. Whatever it is absolutely beautiful and we will be christening it with a tea party this sunday.
I sat and stared at it all night.
