Tea Cups

There are only a few things I have passion enough for to collect - and tea cups is one of them. I've always loved tea, so a penchant for tea cups and tea sets only goes hand-in-hand with that. But I first got the idea for this collection when I was at an engagement party a few years ago.

The woman who hosted the party served us tea, not all in one tea set, but everyone got a different kind of cup - some were decorated art deco style, some were impressionist, and some were oddly shaped. See, she collected unique tea cups, so each person got to choose from one of her whimsical cups - it was quite the conversation piece!

Whether you are looking for tea cups for yourself or for a gift, there are a wide variety of kinds to choose from - trust me - I never even imagined they could look as unique as some of the ones I saw at that party.

When most people think of tea cups, they think of those small ceramic cups that people traditionally drink tea from, but lately major tea accessory stores have been selling clear glass tea cups as well.

Whatever you decide on - traditional flowery tea cups, modern glass cups, or artistic and unique cups - they are sure to be great decorative items and useful at the same time. That also makes them delightful gifts!
