Valentine Teacup: Wedgwood’s Queen of Hearts

02.12.2016 by Leah // 3 Comments

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to set the mood for this day of hearts than a nice cup of Rose Vanilla Tea in a Wedgwood Queen of Hearts teacup set:

Whimsical and romantic, the Queen of Hearts collection features colourful, romantic heart motifs and lustrous gold banding. The collection in white, fine bone china brings a sense of light-hearted romance to any tea party.

Introduced in 2008, the Queen of Hearts is one of the best-selling collections from Wedgwood, an iconic British brand which is known for introducing art form in ceramics. It is also a favorite of the Royal Family, and has graced the table of “every British monarch and many other illustrious Heads of State, such as in the Vatican, the Kremlin and the White House”.

Made of fine bone china with gold banding, it is a beauty to behold at every angle.

Are you surprised to find that the teacup’s made in Thailand?

Wedgwood, together with other known British brands of teacups like Waterford, Royal Albert and Royal Doulton, was bought by the Fiskars Group – a leading consumer goods company – sometime last year.    Like any other global companies managing a portfolio of businesses, process outsourcing is the way to make business profitable by making prices competitive (favoring us, consumers and teacup collectors).

This doesn’t mean though that quality is compromised, or that the “exclusiveness” of the brand has been taken away.  To understand the impact of this company acquisition to Wedgwood’s production processes, head to this link.

Looking at my Queen of Hearts teacup, I believe that the Wedgwood heritage was never lost (even though its now manufactured outside England).  The details are amazing.  It’s really an adorable piece.

Wedgwood pieces, whether they be from England or Thailand or Indonesia, will continue to inspire and celebrate artistry in its beautiful collection of teacups, saucers and teapots.  It will continue to inspire love – love for teacups, that is – not only with the Queen of Hearts but the rest of the collection made of the finest bone china.

Happy Hearts Day, friends and readers of The Bright Spot!

    Ang ganda talaga. Could you post a pic with the teapot?
    Yes, I was a bit taken aback when I saw the backstamp and where it’s made. Now I have to find someone in Thailand kase baka mas mura dun. 🙂

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
