I think the serving pieces would mix nicely with my glassware. I started collecting a pattern called golden leaf back in the 50's (it is discontinued now). this wouldn't match, but would love it. I have all the pieces except the tall ice tea glasses. That's kind of strange, to have all those alcohol type glasses and no tea glasses. I don't drink. (Nothing but water). The serving pieces and cups with saucers would sure look good even with my china, they all have the gold rim. I was never "proper" but I think "way back when", it was "proper" for the hostest to set cups for all who were coming, and if someone wanted to decline she/he would turn the cup on the side.
Makes me hungry for the sweet rolls. However, give me coffee, not tea. Also because I had kidney stones, no iced tea--which I guess would mean hot tea also. Also no leafy greens. That means no salads, which I really like. Go back to doctors next month so will ask about leafy greens. I miss them.
Thank you for the offer, but I will pass, I do not like tea or coffee, if you had peppermint infusion then I may change my mind.

You can have the tea, I want the tea set. I love tea sets and have two miniature sets; one I got when I was a little girl that s now about 55 years old and another one I got from my sister for Christmas.

That reminds me of the father who was babysitting for his 4-year-old daughter to giv the mother a free day to do whatever she wanted to do. When the mother returned home, she asked how they got along. The father said "Just fine. We have a wonderful tea party. She kept filling my tiny teacup with pretend tea [which was only water]. The mother said, Oh, No. You DO know that the only water she can reach is in the toilet, don't you? " that was the end of the tea parties.
I think most people just put a pot on to boil anymore. When I was working, it was go over to the coffee machine, pour the hot water into a mug, drop in the tea bag. Tea is very important in many parts of the world and has very elaborate ceremonies.
