As you may have guessed by my earlier post on Sunday I really love shamrock china. I used much of my collection on my Shamrock Tea Luncheon tablescape. (I posted about it here in case you missed!)
What Shamrock Tea is complete without shamrocks on the sugar cubes?
Above top: Royal Tara of Galway, Ireland
2nd from top: Adderly
3rd from top: Hammersley <first teacup ever given to me as a gift, from my daughter <3
Bottom: Lefton
Here's the top one (above) made in Ireland a little closer to show the shamrocks on the inside.
I even have two sweet mini shamrock teacups, hostess gifts from friends who came to tea!
And a personal size small teapot for one:
This is my fav of all my shamrock teapots:
This is a Lefton teapot.

Hi Michele,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty table!!! It's so much fun to see everyone's Irish treasures. I just love all four of your BEAUTIFUL shamrock teacups and your pretty tea pots, as well. Everything on your table looks great. I love your green and white crocheted doiley, the festive shamrock sugar cubes, and the glass shamrock scatters. I'm so glad you shared this with us.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for your kind comments. I hope you have a great week!
All the best,

I enjoyed seeing your shamrock tea cups and saucers. I like the doilies too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection! The cups and teapots are so sweet and I adore the little glass scatter stones all around your tablescapes. Stopping by from Kathleen's blog crawl and newly following. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Irish treasures! ~ Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly Irish post! I loved seeing all the shamrock cups from the different manufacturers. Funny enough, my post today is a Royal Tara too! And as of a few days ago I had never heard of it until I saw my cup in an antique shop. So it was just in time.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day! (soon)
Terri
I do love shamrock china! I am always on the look out for it. You have such a beautiful collection, and as someone said, it is amazing they are presented in so many different ways.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your pics, they are beautiful, and being part of the Blog Crawl! Happy SPD, Mavourneen!
Your collection of shamrock china is just beautiful. I didn't realize there were so many different patterns. You'll set a lovely tea table for St. Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteJust a beautiful collection.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saint Patricks day to all!!!!!!
OH how pretty your shamrock china is. I never knew there were so many different patterns!
ReplyDeleteHello! I love all of your dishes but the little sugar cubes are my favorite thing! Just adorable. Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such sweet comments. It's very nice to meet you...your blog is lovely as are you.
ReplyDeleteLove your china!Thank you for the lovely party lunch,everything was perfect.Denise
ReplyDeleteI love your shamrock design teacups! I have a few pieces of the Royal Tara and Belleek, but I was unaware of the other manufacturers of shamrock design china -- they are also very beautiful! The mini teacups are so sweet. ♣ Happy Saint Patrick's Day!♣
ReplyDeleteOh wow! You have such a pretty collection of shamrock teacups, teapots and china. I love how unique each one is but look so great grouped together because they are all shamrocks. The shamrock sugar cubes are just the cutest thing I have ever seen though, where in the world did you ever come across those? Thanks so much for your visit and kind comments. I hope you drop by again anytime!
ReplyDeleteLovely dishes, pretty photos! Happy St Pattys Day~
ReplyDeleteHi cute lady.....What gorgeous dishes. And what a collection. Your luncheon/tea is going to be so very special. I sure hope you're feeling better though. Michele I'm worried about you. I just saw how sick you've been. We just took a spur of the moment trip down here 11 hour drive) to one of our daughters so I've really been out of things. I'm using my husbands lap top right now and it drives me crazy. this little curser does not want to move and its taking me forever to navigate around it.
ReplyDeleteI wish I were there to make you some chicken soup. And here you were able to get a post up as sick as you are. Please don't overdo it and kill yourself off before your party. Please take care of yourself.
Love you girlfriend,
Nann
You are always so sweet to stop at my blog. Thank you, sincerely. I LOVE those shamrock tea cups. I collect dogwood tea cups in green and white (why didn't I use those in my St. Patty's Day mantle?) and love the green and white combination too. Did you make those sugar cubes? I love your attention to detail. Happy St. Patty's Day to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteLove those sugar cubes!
ReplyDeleteWonderful tea party post! YOur tea cups are so lovely on the tiered stand. Erin go Braugh!
ReplyDeleteYvonne

Sorry I'm late to arrive, but I've been away from my computer. Your shamrock teapots and cups are truly special. What a wonderful little collection. I think the demitasse cups are my favorite. Happy St. Patrick's Day! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteWow, your collection is awesome!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally just drooled over those teacups and lovely clover designs!
ReplyDeleteAll your pieces are fantastic. I just become a follower. I hope you get a chance to see my Shamrock dishes. Happy St. Patty's Day.
ReplyDeleteYour table could not be any cuter! Just darling =)
ReplyDeleteMichele, I am swooning over all your shamrock china!!! What beautiful pieces you have in your collection. Happy St. Paddy's Day!!
ReplyDeleteYou have absolutely beautiful china! I'm completely ashamed to have you see what I put on my table... I hope I can have some like yours someday. It's really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
DeleteWe all started with nothing, trust me - this has been a lifetime collecting.......and I would love to come to your table anytime, ceramic mugs holds tea just as well - actually better even, more and stays hotter longer....but want you to know that it didn't happen overnight and it won't for you, either. Thanks for you post!!!!
Your china is exquisite! It is impossible to pick a favorite, so jealous!
ReplyDeleteI crown you QUEEN of Shamrocks!
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you...my dear cousin is absolutely smitten with one of your Irish shamrock teacups and would love to have one of those herself. The pieces in question are the 6th and 7th picture of this page.
Would you have any idea where she could buy one (or more) ? If not, could you please try to find out what the make/brand (usually at the bottom of the cup/saucer) of it is so that she can contact the factory or shop?
She will be delighted if I can find out where she can buy one!
Thanks a lot in advance for your efforts.
