Morning glory blooms with a certain urgency — wide open, bold, unapologetic — and this Royal Ascot cup captures that quality exactly. Large blue flowers take center stage, softened by smaller yellow and pink companions and a scatter of green leaves, all rendered on bone china that has held its clarity for seventy years.
Royal Ascot was a mid-century English bone china maker whose retired patterns now belong as much to collectors' shelves as to tea tables. This piece features their signature ruffled gold rim on both cup and saucer, with gilding at the cup's base and handle — the kind of finish that elevates a simple cup into something worth keeping.
A beautiful display piece, a daily indulgence, or a gift for anyone who loves the ritual of tea. Lovely for a birthday, Mother's Day, housewarming, or bridal shower.
