Somehow I ended up with my great-grandmother's china. It's not as beautiful as this, but there's something so delicate and timeless about it. Hmm...this gives me an idea ;o)

This is a great image. Love the composition and tones. And I understand why you put it in this gallery!!
.... but I don't think the cup and saucer in itself are minimilastic; on the contrary: they are rather richly decorated! Gorgeous!

My mom drinks tea outta one of those tea cup and sauser sets. I never could get the hang of that. Give me an earthenware mug! ;-)

Beautiful presentation and lovely cup and saucer. I still like a cup and saucer (but only at breakfast time!)
