This is one of the sets that I got over in England. This is from Whittards of Chelsea and is their swirl pattern. All those swirls are hand-painted; can you believe it? This set did not have a sugar bowl or creamer - at least that I ever saw - and I haven't been able to find one online either. I have a sneaky suspicion that this set is also retired as they were selling it out when I was there last fall. But I could be wrong on that. Anyway, the teapot holds about 6 cups and the cup holds about a cup. Nice serving ot tea, I think. My daughter got me the teapot last fall for my birthday on one of our jaunts to the tea shop in Newcastle, where they were living at the time, and I bought the cups. I love using this set. I do use it often and each time I do, I remember our good times over there and look forward to many more "tea parties" when they get home!
What kind of tea? A good English Breakfast or PG Tips, of course !!!
