What a nice cup, BonBon! It has a very satisfying shape and colour. I also love the way that it looks like a fat little mushroom when the lid is on :)

I wonder what the picture on the side is? Looks a little similar to the camellia as depicted in Japanese art (well, one of the more abstract depictions anyway).

They sure do. :)

I liked the mushroom shape, too. Haven't completely pinpointed the picture, though.

I love their gorgeous tea tins, but OMG are they made of platinum? The price was a tad extreme.... 99.00 for the 3" tall, and 169.00 for the 4.3"!

I'll stick with my adagio tins and pyrex cannisters in a dark cabinet.

I'm feeling silly, and though I'd share some pictures of the little teapot in my user icon.

But they're so much fun! Here she is in one of my grandmother's tea cups that I inherited (it's my favourite):
