This teacup is not the thinnest porcelain, but it has a very high degree of translucence, which makes it glow in the sunlight.

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.
The teacup from my grandmother's house. As many of you know, my wonderful, loving grandmother passed away at 106. She was probably the most influential person in my life as a child. We'd spend hours and days together and I (like many, many others) adored her. She was always gentle, always patient and saw the best in everyone. The grandchildren took a teacup as a memento. This is mine: Lovely, lovely. Handpainted in occupied Japan. Probably from the 40's, I'd imagine. I adore it because it is a tiny piece of her.
For my 6yr old daughter's tea party I made this cute teacup and saucer birthday cake using Jacque's tutorial sugarteachers.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-make-gumpaste-t...
The cake was a 5 x stacked rainbow cake (6' round) with the cup, saucer, fairy and no 6 made from flower modelling fondant paste. I used edible chalks, Wilton paste and Wilton pens to draw and colour the pattern on the cup and saucer.
