Sharing a Three Footed Tea Cup

Isn't this one a beauty?  A Fishtail Cottage Facebook friend saw my Three Footed Tea Cup Collection and wanted me to have this. Said, she had it tucked away under a counter in her kitchen.  Expressed that she no longer wanted it and wanted to be sure it went to someone who would appreciate it. 

It arrived in the mailbox last week and I am in awe of how different it is than all of my other Three Footed Tea Cups in my collection.   It does have the opaque color throughout both the tea cup and the saucer.  The edging is gold on the tea cups handle, feet and opening of the tea cup and also along the saucer. The cut out along the edging is so unique ~ nothing like on any other saucer I own. 

The pretty detail of the posy combination is that of a creamy white and lavender.

The tea cup itself, is completely round, unlike any other one in my collection, but the feet are exactly the same as the others…

 

The underside still has a sticker that states “Hand decorated CDGC Quality Imports Japan” and both pieces are labeled Y104.  My understanding that if the markings are the same they are a ‘perfect set’!

Feeling so very extra special that my sweet friend chose me to hold the legacy of her Three Footed Tea Cup…I can honestly say that I am honored and will cherish this with all my heart…and will also save it to pass to one of my children who will (my hope) cherish this collection as well.
