Grandma's teacup
One of two teacups I was given by my mother for my birthday several years ago.
Her mother collected bone china teacup sets; she had a beautiful arched glass and dark wood display case for them. When I was a young girl Grandma R. would let me open her always-closed glass case and touch the teacups. This particular cup had been one of my very very favorites since childhood - perhaps because of the pearlescent finish -, and when I discoved the set under layers of tissue and wrapping paper on a really not-so-fantastic birthday, I couldn't speak.
My mother and I cried together.
