Childhood Dreams: Tea Sets

I always had this thing about tea sets. Something about them strike me as pretty and elegant. Strangely enough, even though I grew up in Asia, I was more fascinated by the western-style tea sets. Those gorgeous garden parties I see in Victorian era must indicate that not only was I British in my past life, but I came from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Or something like that. Now that I’m older, I also find myself liking the Asian tea sets as well. Every time I go to one of those stores that sells Korean pottery and whatnot, I look at the tea sets and muse on which one I’d like to buy in the future. Anyway, here are some tea sets I found on the net that I think are really prettyful.

The second and the fourth ones are my favourite. I love flowery designs. These are so dainty, so girly. I can imagine myself drinking tea with my pinky extended. I’m not sure what’s with that etiquette, though.

I love the two black ones. So simple, but so beautiful! With these, I don’t have to do the whole pinky thing, mwahaha!
