Purple, yours are gorgeous and Florence's too. Patricia from AL talked me into getting one this past summer, start a collection. Side trip to antiques store. If I could ever stop collecting roses, maybe china is an idea, he he.

Carla

ooooooooo---cup-shaped ----I love the cocoa pitcher with the two cups------the roses are so pretty.

I never heard of Royal Patrician china ---Is it made in Denmark?-----very pretty.

Florence

yours are very beautiful too Florence! No royal Patrician china is made in England. I bought the set in London. I thought it was for tea. Later I learned it was for cocoa. LOL. Later on I found a mail order service to get more of The Roy Kirkham fine bone china...the series Redoute, English rose and Versailles.

It is possible to get Royal Patrician China in US from this source: There are may rose series of Royal Patrician
China. My favourite is "Summertime rose". But it is rather pricy. $ 107 for this set.

That is a gorgeous teacup you have there Decobug. Also allow me thank you for for all the good pictures I have seen of yours on HMF during the Years!

These are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Florence, Is that purple roses plate a saucer or a sideplate? I want one!

CupShaped, your 'Redoute' china is incredibly beautiful.

Purpleroses----oooooo I love the C&S you won on e-bay----I have to stay away from e-bay----because I see too many I want---LOL
My set is a C&S----when I first looked at them I thought they didn't go together but it is a set--it is Royal Norcrest ----
Staffordshire England-----fine bone china

I have a lot of C&S but I thought you might like to see this old plate that a friend of mine gave me---I like it.

One pattern I just saw that I thought was lovely was Victorian Violets by Hammersley. Not made now days but still widely available. Great selection of teacup shapes too with different handle shapes as well. The related tea set pieces are very romantic.

My 86 yr old mother has passed away and I have found tea cups and tea sets from her mother and grandmother including Royal Doulton and other numbered sets... English bone china... from late 1800's to early 1900's in Australia. I haven't a clue what they are worth... How would I find out? They are all in pristine condition and are so beautiful.. Anyone interested, then let me know and I can send photos.
Cheers

Don't have a teacup collection, but when I was a teenager, for some reason I collected demi-tasse cups! Don't know what became of them all. Was admiring this espresso cup & saucer the other day. Love all the colors...they're just yummy!
