This engraving of a large coffee and tea service is from The Art Journal Illustrated Catalogue, published for the proprietors, by George Virtue in London, 1851. This beautiful set was a work of Mr. John Ridgway of Cauldron Place, Staffordshire Potteries.

Glad to not have to clean it myself but so elegant and makes Tea time look like such a special event.
It does indeed! Perhaps I should post a cake or other dessert image soon, something to go along with the tea. 😉
