Buying and Selling Antiques of all Kinds!

I have been an antique dealer for more than 25 years! I have thoroughly enjoyed hunting for eclectic finds at tag and estate sales, auctions and buying from individuals looking to downsize. I believe in the green movement, that is re-purposing old things and bringing them back to use. The purpose of this blog is to share my journey into the world of antiques...from the beginning to the end sale and every point in between!

Table Setting Etiquette

In my research for a new ebay listing, I came across a wonderful website that tells all about setting a proper table!  Something we all need to know, right??  I learned a lot when viewing this site.  Did you know that cups come in 7 different sizes?

"The cup is made in seven sizes, each with a different volume capacity:
  1. Breakfast cup;
  2. Mug;
  3. Teacup;
  4. Coffee cup;
  5. Chocolate cup;
  6. After-dinner coffee cup; and
  7. Demitasse cup."
See their website for more great information!  www.eitquettescholar.com

Below is a photo of the wonderful cup and saucer I currently have listed on ebay!  While this cup is called a breakfast cup and saucer, I think its uses are endless...I could see this cup holding a steaming cup of oatmeal or even soup!

Here is the link to my ebay listing, in case you would love this great cup!
