"Antiques" shopping - episode 2.

by exquisite » Nov 21st, '10, 10:14

Set of 5 cups (actually there were 6, but one was broken when packed)
bought a month ago. I really love them, pretty thin porcelain, nice color when hosting greens and oolongs for tasting , completely hand painted, no detectable patterns, etc...

Posting pics as promised back then :

...stop making me feel guilty. :oops:
It was just a lucky hit. (anyway, the funny thing is that although those were the nicest cups amongst 100 other cups, the seller used them filled with water under some light spots, to capture and dissipate heat in the crowded glass cabinet used to display the teaware.)
