Miniature tea sets are another fun thing to collect and I have quite a few packed away in totes under the eaves. I just honestly do not have room for every single teapot (imagine that) so some simply have to be stored.
When we were preparing to move to North Carolina in 2015 I tried to collect all of my miniature tea sets into one area and pack them up myself. It worked well and now if I ever want to put them out I know that they are all hanging out together.
This one is a beautiful one – it is a Wedgewood blue color (although it is not Wedgewood) and is decorated with cute white bows. It actually seems well made and the dainty tea set would be perfect for a little girl to use to play pretend tea party.
Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?
