They aren’t any special in terms of their origin, but they are special to me because I got them from my mother. She had the tea set for decades, but now this is all that is left.
The cups now occupy my shelf, but I do intend to use them often. Pretty things should be used and enjoyed, and not merely displayed. Don’t you think?
Today, I am joining Martha at Martha's Favorites for Teacup Tuesday. Check out her blog to see what interesting mustache teacups she has in her collection.

Yes,pretty things should be used. Use leaves a better patina than dust! These cups are distinctive looking...I think they look very 1950ish.
Hi: I have never seen a tea cup like this. Very pretty. It is amazing how many different kinds of cups there are. I just love it. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with us. Have a great week. Blessings, Martha
Hi Olga, Yes... I think you should always treat yourself to the pretty things and enjoy! Your new cup set is so pretty... love the big happy flowers (hibiscus?).

Dearest Olga,
They look a bit Japanese... they are so elegant! What a treasure to have them handed down from your Mother! Enjoy them for every sip you take from them...

Hello Olga, how sweet to have these special cups that belonged to your mother; not only to cherish but to enjoy. Thanks so much for sharing these lovely cups with us :)
Happy Teacup Tuesday!
Warmest hugs, Brenda
I totally agree with you, pretty things should be used, why leave them to collect dust when the use will bring us so much more joy than just looking at them? Good for you, hope you get to drink lots of tea from those gorgeous teacups!
I agree -- these treasures should be used. Lovely cups that were your mother's ... how nice for you!
Adorable tea cups. Using them is the best thing to do. hugs olive
hi olga,

absolutley beautiful.

Lovely teacup, I agree as well, what good is a treasure if it's locked away? I'm quite sure that my Great grandmother would be pleased to know that I still use her teacups. When you use them they are in your mind, but when you put them on a shelf they tend to get forgotten like back ground noise. Enjoy today. Take care.
So pretty!! So unique and fresh looking!!
Just beautiful!!
Debbie
It's a very special Tea cup with very nice flowers
Meeting you again has been a pleasure
