Grandma's Teaset

This tea set was handed down to me from my father and an aunt. There were 12 cups, saucers and plates and only 1 cup is missing.

I have never used them and never will. It's not that I am one of those people who keep things for best - I wouldn't even use these for best. They were one of my grandparents' wedding presents and they were married in 1902 or earlier. The tea set is kept in a cupboard with a glass door so I do see them every day. It is very fine bone china.
