teacup
taken for Our Daily Challenge - Candlelight
This is a cup from a china set that belonged to my Godmother. It is handpainted with a dandelion pattern. At the time, one could go to a store and choose the blank pieces in the shapes desired and they might be made by a variety of makers and from different countries even. Then you chose how you would like it to be decorated and they painted each piece with your desired design. Ladies of a certain class might even paint their own, getting together to do china painting as a social activity.
