I want to share a fabulous Aynsley, England teacup made to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
I really love the dark cobalt blue background. There is applied raised enamel paint on the flag and other areas, and lots of burnished gold trim and overlay. Aynsley is always a wonderful manufacturer and they did a wonderful job on this special occasion teacup.
For more info on the teacup at Time Was Antiques, click on the photos.
This is a fall leaves wreth from the September/October 2008 issue of Victoria Magazine. I love Victoria and was a charter subscriber when they began back in 1988. I also subscribed when they started up again with a new publisher. My favorite!
And from my own front door, a wreath of fabric leaves and filmy, metallic gold accented ribbon that I made. The white door made it difficult to photograph, but....
Here are the wonderful blog parties I am joining today. Please visit them and enjoy a wonderful day!

Hello Ruth,
You have shared a real gem! (at least to me!). I love commemorative china, and this cup has to be one of the best I have seen. The cobalt blue is really stunning, and I love the Queen's pic at the top there. The whole design is gorgeous! Thank you so much for showing it to us.
Hugs,
Terri
