China

I’ve spent most of today helping J pack up his mother’s china cabinet – this was a big job as she was a keen attender of auction sales.

Many of the items are singleton tea and coffee cups, obviously survivors from very splendid sets indeed as they are surpassingly beautiful.  It was a real shame for them to be tucked away in a cabinet – though with this kind of thing it is hard to know what to do to display it to its best effect.

This was one of the cups

And two lovely sheep – safely grazing on an Art Deco fireplace.
