Before Mother’s Day … It's Tea Time!

Tea Sets are a big part of what I sell at Cindy’s Collectibles. In fact, the logo for this company is a smiling tea pot that was designed by my oldest son who also works for me part time.

I love tea pots / tea sets and started this company selling all types of collectibles including tea sets made of silver, silverplate, fine china, and even little mini tea sets. The makers of these sets were as diverse as the sets themselves and represented the best craftsmanship from all over the world.

Delton Mini Tea Set & Basket

Now, as we move out of an unseasonably cold winter into spring it’s that time of year invitations for all the wonderful tea parties that occur every spring (followed by Weddings) will arrive. Many will take place with a bridal or baby shower and I attended one several years ago for my cousin’s baby shower at a stylish tea house known as the Rose Tree Cottage in Pasadena, California. It’s always fun to spend the day with the girls but every once in a while I enjoy the elegance and formality of the tea party and most of all I appreciate the beautiful fine china that adjourns a well-appointed table.

Royal Albert Old Country Rose

Made in England by Royal Albert, Old Country Roses is without a doubt my favorite china pattern, it always will be (if you click that link you will see it is also a funny story). But Royal Albert makes several other delightful patterns as well. There are numerous makers of German China most notably Bavaria and Princess House as well as Royal Noritake from Japan. One of the most unique, yet stylish tea sets was made in Holland that turned out to have a musical tea pot as the centerpiece and made a little girl’s tea party / birthday a delightful event according to the feedback we received from our customer.

For anyone hosting a child’s tea party you may want to take a look at one of my mini tea sets, I have several different styles available, and for certain items I have multiple quantities. There is even one mini-set made by Hummel!
