Pastel and Perfect for Quirky Tea

I recently found these beautful tea cups by Maria Lintott Ceramics.

They are fine bone china and come in three types:  the Loving, the Twist and the Moustache.

As if the names aren't quirky enough....

The Loving is a two-handled cup to aide the passing of a hot cup of tea between tea lovers.  It creates a much happier atmosphere for a cuppa than burnt fingers!

The Twist has a special scalloped pattern so that when you stir the tea it creates a pretty whirlpool effect.

The Moustache has a little moustache cover built into the teacup so that you don't get your nose neighbour wet when you are sipping your tea.  Quite a bright idea!  Might make a lovely Movember gift!

Whilst I have no plans to grow a moustache in the near future, I think these tea cups are just delightful.
