Favorite teaset
This is my favorite English China tea set, Royal Doulton Glamis Thistle 'Square' (rectangular teapot, creamer and sugar, rather than the standard round version) with standard 'round-handled' (as opposed to triangular 'Deco') teacups. The traditional 'Rounded' teapot design, in a dainty 2-cup version, is shown below.
This lovely and delicate hand-painted design was first introduced in the 1930s as a tribute to the Queen Mother and was in continuous production until the early '60s. The four-cup teapot is tilted backwards to show off it's pretty face. The artist liked to make subtle changes to the pattern to keep things interesting for those who purchased the basic tea and luncheon sets, adding service pieces over the years as budgets allowed.
I have fond memories as a child of this set, when visiting a much-cherished great aunt for Saturday afternoon tea. My love and respect for this woman induced me to search out and find it as an adult so that I could once again enjoy it's use.

“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”

Lovely cups
The lower two remind me of the seashore on the outside and sky on the inside. Would make for peaceful tea session as one contemplated the sussing sound of waves breaching shore, a cooling coastal breeze and warm sand underfoot and sun on our faces.
