mini china

[nid_dabeille]

Yes, I know I've been spending money like a banshee (because you know how banshees like to spend that money) and moaning about being broke...  But I have never ever known the British pound to be this low compared to the US dollar (£1 = $1.35 !!!!!!!!!!  WHAT?!) and so, I have finally ordered some pieces of miniature china that I have been wanting FOREVER, before the poor pound can recover (or before the dollar can sink, or whatever's going on there.)  They're from the amazing Stokesay Ware.

Thanks, Britain!  You know I love you.  Good luck with your economy, but, um, not until my order has been processed.

 
     

I didn't order the whole tea set - there's also a gorgeous dinner service - I only got 2 cups and saucers, 2 side plates, and a bowl.  I'll set my table as if Jack and Stephen have just finished dinner and they're having coffee with their dessert, or something.  (I already have a fine silver coffee pot.)  Or maybe they're having breakfast, and then I could get a fancy toast rack...

Gorgeous! But I almost fell out of my chair when I saw those prices. O_o

They are certainly very pretty, and blue, gold and white china will look lovely in the cabin. Jack certainly keeps a very splendid table...

Oh, those are amazing. I love tea sets. I have one from Germany that's even smaller than that! Almost as expensive, too.

Wow. With the pound that low, those are almost affordable.

Please post a pic of the table when it is set. But where is Killick to polish the silver? *g*

You'd need two toast racks; they each have their own. There's a specific instance in one of the books where Jack finishes his toast and moves "on to Stephen's rack."
