Thanks to Martha and Terri for sponsoring Teacup Tuesday! It's fun to see everyone's treasured cups. Thanks, girls!
Today's teacup on this blog has pink, detailed scenes of an American settlement against a beige background. It was made by Johnson Brothers in England.
The lettering on the back of the saucer reads "San Francisco" and "Historic America during the Gold Rush."
Using a magnifying glass, an American flag can clearly be seen above wooden buildings. Four tiny figures are there, two carrying shovels. Also spotted is a horse pulling a wagon. Another lone horse stands by the side of the road.
Numerous tiny houses are nestled in hills above the settlement.
There are about a dozen sailing ships on water, too!
A decorative leaf and acorn border frames the bottom edge of the cup's scene as well as the saucer. There is a decorative border inside the top rim of the cup, too, and on the cup's handle!
This cup allows one to go back awhile in history while sipping tea!
(Wouldn't it be great to hear, "I struck gold!")
DO YOU HAVE ANY HISTORICAL THEMED TEACUPS?
