We inherited this Johnson Brothers set from my grandmother-in-law several years ago. She collected the china through bonuses offered by the local hardware store in the 1940s. The floral pattern on the saucer is also inside the cup.
(I'm sure this isn't a winner, but he's so cute!)

Yes, I know what you're thinking: "Sirrah, 'tis absurd. A cup of the English variety, containing what looks suspiciously like sencha? And a teaspoon, presumably for stirring said brew? We think not. 'Tis absurd, impossible, and surely illegal. And dude, take a photography course already."
Good points. But I have my reasons for this setup.
The cup is an heirloom of indeterminate age, and I kind of like its blue-white scheme. On the bottom it says "Made in Japan", so the sencha thing is not entirely unjustified to my confused mind. Also, I have no black tea right now. And also, the saucer and cup have matching golden rims, which is never wrong.
The silver teaspoon (it is strictly speaking a c*ffee spoon) is of a locally popular design that was for many decades manufactured by a branch of my family.
I rest my case.

A "Modern-Classic" side of me.
Clearly, I have a "thing" for unusual handles.
