A Pictorial Interlude

My last blog post was a bit of a teaser on our last night in Penang.

Then… nothing for two weeks! I’m sorry about that.

A combination of lack of time and illness and then technical difficulties at my scheduled blogging time meant I missed last week’s entry.

As I work to rectify that, I thought I’d post the pictures I promised of the tea set Lady Devotea presented to me for our 30th anniversary.

So, without further ado, here it is:

The box

The box opens... there are cups...

... the box cantilevers and there is the rest of it...

The pattern

The pot...
The pot…
The set
The set
ready to go, full of our 1001 Nights
Ready to go, full of our 1001 Nights

It’s a lovely set to drink from, the Celadon glaze inside the cups is very delicate and it holds memories of a great 30th anniversary. It’s hard to imagine a better gift.

    Lovely! The pot seems to have a bit of, er, personality. 🙂 Perhaps it’s the “ears”…

      The ears are thumb-handles, for want of a better word. But they do make it quirky.
