Mother's Tea

I have a little set of china I picked up at Goodwill for $5 (for 13 pieces).  I have been trying to decide what each piece was meant for. 

There is no maker's mark on the bottom, but they look a little Japanese.  I put this little cup in this "saucer" and it looked very much like a tea set.  But, I am not sure.

What do you think?  Does it pass for a tea set.

  Whatever it is, I used it for a little Mother's Day tea for me.

I am loving the pattern and colors on it.  Thanks for viewing my tea!
This was a re-post from 2011.  I knew this spring was going to be crazy busy and it is!

  7. I think your set is for tea. Tea cups initially did not have handles and many Asian tea cups still don't. It is really a lovely pattern!

  12. I think it's a really lovely set. I would use it for tea, too. And then, I might just rinse it out and enjoy a little fried rice soup to boot.

  16. I can’t believe another week has gone by with another delightful tea party. I love how the tablecloth compliments the clours of your sweet teacup.
    It would not be so enjoyable without you and your creative touch. I always look forward to seeing you as often as you can pop in.

    Blessings,
    Pam

  20. Hi Sherry,
    It certainly looks like a set to me. It is so very pretty too. I love the colours and the fact that the cup doesn't have a handle makes it very unique, I think. Thanks for coming to tea.

    Blessings,
    Sandi
