Rose Tea Cup & Saucer

In the English language, a rose is synonymous with anything attractive, successful or positive, so it is a perfect embelm with which to decorate something as desirable and pretty as this Rose-themed bone china tea cup  and matching rose saucer.

We use the rose in idioms all the time - so much so that we hardly notice it any more. But once you take possession of one of this exquisite cup and saucer, perhaps you'll lift the cup to your lips once in a while and remember to, well, stop and smell the roses.

When someone's viewpoint is unequivocally optimistic, we say it's rose tinted. A pretty young girl might be described as an English rose; when she is looking healthy and hearty we say she's got rosy cheeks and if her parents called her Montague, then we console her that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

When we win the jackpot, we say everything's coming up roses. when life is hard, we say it's no bed of roses - but when it works out alright in the end, we say we came out of it smelling like a rose.

It's been said that every rose has its thorn, but we can't think of a single drawback with this beautiful rose cup and saucer, which is as practical and long-lasting as a real rose is quixotic and short-lived.
