The Girl with the Dragon Tea Set

In honour of the return of the Mother of Dragons this week, I am sharing one of my few Asian teawares.

This miniature tea set was a souvenir from China given to my mom by a co-worker several years ago. Because she's such a good mom, she passed it on to yours truly.

A friend translated the big black Chinese characters on the box cover to "Boutique China". 
This tea set's dragon design is perfect for my favourite Game of Thrones character...

...Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen aka Mother of Dragons!

Let the games begin!


I'm joining the following parties this week:

  5. What a nice set! I like how the Chinese tea sets are arranged in boxes for safe keeping. My husband has been very excited about the new season of Game of Thrones. I'll have to show him this post.

  10. It is beautiful, a treasure! And if my eye is judging this correctly, it's the typical size that's used in Chinese tea houses! They look like miniatures but they're designed for many fast infusions.

  12. Hi Margie,
    Your little teaset is very sweet. Tea does taste better out of tiny little cups. Happy Tea Day! Karen
