Description
This porcelain tea cup and saucer brings Ariel, the red-haired mermaid princess, to the tea table in soft pastel green. The cup sits on a short footed base with a rounded bowl, and on its front a printed decal shows Ariel holding a little shell, framed by a gold-coloured oval and a garland of flowers and leaves. Inside, the glaze is a deeper green, and the words 'Shine like the Sea' are printed in white just inside the rim. The matching saucer carries 'Dreaming of Another World' in white lettering all the way round its edge. A gold-coloured rim runs round both cup and saucer, and the curved handle is gold-coloured too. The cup holds 240ml, a comfortable cup of tea, and together they stand 9cm tall and measure 15cm across.
It suits a slow afternoon cup of tea at the kitchen table, or a place on a dresser shelf with other favourite china. As a gift, it is a thoughtful choice for a friend who has always loved Ariel, and a charming keepsake for a young fan aged 3 to 12, a pretty piece for their room to treasure as they grow. Because the cup comes with its own matching saucer, there is nothing else to find.
The cup and saucer are porcelain with a glossy glaze, and the picture of Ariel is a printed decal on the side of the cup. The saucer has a shallow ring at its centre where the cup's foot settles. As general good practice for decorated porcelain with a gold-coloured rim, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water, drying it with a soft cloth and keeping it out of the microwave. For a gift, wrap the cup and saucer in tissue and add a packet of loose leaf tea, and you have a present that feels personal from the first sip.
