Just before leaving on our annual fall vacation, I went to an estate sale in McDonough and was thrilled to find my first teacup trio, along with a couple of Royal Vale cups and saucers.
This set is from Bavaria, Germany. It has such a deep blue color that it turned my photo background pale blue and the mirror like finish made it difficult to photograph.
For some reason the owner labeled it New Hope PA 1975 – perhaps as a reminder of when and where the set was purchased. My price was $18, which I’m hoping was a good buy. I’d love to know more about the company history and when this set was manufactured.
Please join Terri and Martha for Teacup Tuesday and Wanda Lee for Teatime in Blogland.

Beautiful trio! The dark blue really makes the gold *pop*! Happy Tea Day!
That is an *exquisite* set you found! Gorgeous, and I've never seen anything quite like it!
So very beautiful. Hope you find out more about the history of it.

A truly beautiful trio. Although in the english speaking world the old english china seems to be the world standard, perhaps because they discovered the right proportions for bone china, I think the french, german and bavarian china is beautiful too.
This is a stunning trio! What a great find. And if it is without cracks, chips, wear...than $18 was a good deal.
Thank you so much for showing it to us today.
Hugs,
Terri
