Tea on a Tuesday

This is how I first spied my lovely little cup.

It was the box that took my eye

It was sitting on a shelf at my local chemist shop with a price tag of  $15

Inside was what I thought to be an average cheapie type cup complete with tassel.

It was a little bit different to anything I had seen before

however

I did not want to pay that much for one cup that was completely unbranded... 

but

I knew if I left it there I would regret it

because

the

box

was so

beautiful!!!!

I left the cup in the box for months

because

by

 quickly initially looking at it I did not think

I would enjoy drinking out of it.

One day I did get it out, washed it and made a cuppa in it.

Boy!

Was I wrong.

It is surprisingly thin lipped and lovely to drink from.

It has a lovely white glossy glaze that does not detract from the flavour of the tea/coffee...

It actually feels and performs like an expensive english bone china cup
