I have a new tea cup that belongs to set of dishes I found. I was looking the dishes over at the thrift store really debating the purchase. I noticed each piece had a different scene on it. (I love transferware like that.) Then I picked up this teacup and this cinched the deal. This scene is called Sailor's Farewell. How romantic and sweet is this? The picture portrays a guy telling his sweetheart good bye before a voyage.
The other side of the cup is just as pretty, although I have no idea what this stuff is.
This is my Texture Tuesday picture. Our challenge was something pink. I have tried so hard to capture this effect and I think I am getting the hang of it. Here is the recipe: I put a layer of Sweet tart with linear light at 40%. I created a layer mask and erased color from the rose at 20% opacity. Then I put a new layer called Trust on multiply at 57%. That's it.
The cup belongs to a pattern of English transferware called Fair Winds by Alfred Meakin.

I love transferware! Such an adorable little cup. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a wonderful find, Sherry. I would have scooped these cups up had I found them. Like you, I like the motif. ~ Sarah
Although a pretty teacup with some flowers is nice to drink from, yours with the various scenes would be fun to study and discuss over tea.
Transferware at a thrift store? Wow! This pattern is very pretty. Great find.
Sherry, I would have bought them too. Althought space is getting thin here. The tea cups are lovely. Thrifts stores are the undiscovered country. Right? hugs♥O
Wow this is so neat..I love the little farewell scene too! Your photograph is just stunning..you are an inspiration!

Hi Sherry,
What lovely photos! Your tea cup is very romantic and a wonderful find. I love china which tells a story. Transferware is perfect for that sort of thing. Thank you for sharing this with Tea Time. It's always lovely having you for tea. Wishing you a delightful week.

I love your new dishes, and especially the story behind the cup. The color would be great on a fall tablescape. Your photography is beautiful!
