This pretty pattern is called “Wild Violets”. Isn’t it just gorgeous? The delicate clusters of purple violets gives this cup a spring feel. This set was made in Staffordshire England by Sheltonian. I love the comfortable loop handle of this English bone china and the 24K gold trim.
A look at the pretty saucer.
I have picked some fresh double-flowered stocks (Matthiola incana) and baby’s breath. Their scent pervades an entire room.

So please join me today for a soothing cup of Chamomile tea. This golden herb is a favorite to relieve anxiety and will bring a smile to your face with its fragrant blossoms and sweet flavor. This herbal infusion is delicious served with honey. May I pour you a cup?
This white handkerchief with a rolled edge has a beautiful embroidered lavender flower in the corner.
The antique silver mercury glass votive holder has a great vintage feel with its soft scalloped edges.

Beautiful! Violets are the flower that remind me fondly of my Grandmother.
Perfect like always!! I love the embroidered handkerchief and the votive holder. The tea cup is absoloutly beautiful. I always enjoy looking at these.
I can see why the teacup is one of your favorites. I have a lot of wild violets that spring up along the woodlands and under our cedar trees. They are very delicate and beautiful. Love the napkin.
