Lorna Doone

Since it is March and the official flower of March is the daffodil, I thought today's set would be perfect to share.



This landscape pattern has a cottage near a field of daffodils and pretty blue flowers.


The cottage is also on the cup and saucer:

 
 
This design looks like a painting to me, especially those pretty trees.  Even the inside of the cup has daffodils and blue flowers.
 
 
 

This set is Lorna Doone by Hammersley.


 so maybe Lorna Doone from the book of the same name by Richard Blackmore is sitting in the spring sunshine in this beautiful field?


(This Royal Doulton figurine is called a Lady of Williamsburg, but she is at least closer in time to fashions from the late 1600s).


This week I'm joining:

    I just LOVE landscape teacups! They tell such a story! And what a wonderful story...that's a book I haven't red since grade school. Lovely! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

    Such a pretty trio! I love daffodils and not too many teacups have daffodils on them. The cottage scene reminds me of something from a story book.

    Your landscape teacup is lovely, my idea of the perfect country cottage. I like your RD figurine, a good companion to March teas.

    What beautiful detail on the cups, saucers and plates. So pretty, and definitely are speaking Spring to me. Love the figurine, she is a beauty.

    I simply love landscapes on china, Carrie. Your trio is just gorgeous and makes me long for leafy trees and walks through the garden. I especially love your last photo as it shows off the pattern so well. The RD figurine is lovely. Thank you for sharing with us and joining me for tea.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Your Lorna Doone by Hammersley is gorgeous. You are so lucky to have a trio. I love landscapes and I don't have one single piece on china. Spring is on the way! Happy Tea Day!

    Oh my gosh, what a perfectly beautiful post. The lovely china together with the Royal Doulton, plus the cheerful daffs was so springy and just made me happy to look at. What special china you have.
