Description
This porcelain tea cup and saucer brings Cinderella to the tea table in soft pastel blue with gleaming gold trim. On the side of the cup she sits in her flowing blue gown, framed by a fine gold oval twined with cream roses and leaves. The inside of the cup is glazed a deeper blue, and the words 'Follow your dreams' run just inside the rim. The saucer answers with 'Someday your dreams will come true', written three times around its edge between tiny flower motifs. The cup holds 240ml, a proper cup of tea, and the cup and saucer together measure 9cm high, 15cm wide and 15cm deep.
It suits a quiet afternoon cup of tea, a slow weekend breakfast or a place on a dresser or open shelf where the gold can catch the light. For a friend who grew up with the glass slipper story, it makes a thoughtful gift that feels personal without needing a word of explanation. It is also a lovely keepsake for a young Cinderella fan aged three to twelve, a pretty piece for a bedroom shelf with a message about following your dreams to grow up with. Fans of fairytale films and pretty china alike will reach for it again and again.
The cup sits on a neat pedestal foot with a curved gold handle, and the saucer has a gold rim and a ring at its centre where the cup rests. Cinderella and the lettering are decal designs on the glossy porcelain, with the gold picked out around the rims and handle. As with any porcelain with gold detail, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth. For a gift, wrap it in tissue with a box of their favourite tea, and it is ready to use from the very first pot.
