A vintage "Merry Christmas" teacup

I keep an eye out for Christmas teapots and teacups all year.

I bought this vintage teacup for only $2 at a garage sale last August.

 

 
 I think it was a mismatched set because the teacup had bells...

 

...while the saucer said "Merry Christmas".


 
Interestingly, the teacup had 2 markings: the manufacturer's gold backstamp (Regency, circa 1953+) and the decorator's black backstamp. 
 
So this bone china teacup was made in England, but decorated in Canada!

  1. Whether they are an original matching set or put together as a pair by someone else; you have a wonderful teacup to enjoy tea in this coming Christmas. Very pretty garage sale find.

  2. What a darling Christmas teacup at a bargain price! I’d never know that it was mismatched, but that makes it more charming. I’m excited to bring out my Christmas teacups soon.
