This lovely set once belonged to hubby's grandmother. It was passed onto my sister in law who,
knowing how much I loved this sort of thing, decided to give me half. Wasn't that very kind of her! I will pass it onto one of my sons ... one
day.
I wonder if it may be a coffee set rather than a tea set -
the cups are straight sided and so delicate.
There's a beautiful little flower inside the cup.
It is marked "Burns Bros". Anyone know anything about them?
Love, Liz

What a beautiful set of china. And so kind of your SIL to share the set. I've been absent from your blog for a long time, but have been catching up with some reading, and was surprised to see you've just been here to Toronto! (I live just outside of Toronto) I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to bask in the warm sunshine we've been having this fall. Wendy x
Beautiful china Liz, I wonder if it's Scottish...Burns Bros ???

Yes, that is indeed a very pretty set, what a nice thing for your sister-in-law to do. xxx
I agree that is a beautiful set of dishes and it belonging to family always makes it more special
What a sweet SIL to share half with you!! It's very elegant.
Lucky you.
Love from Mum

Dont know anything about that particular china but its beautiful to look at. Lucky you!
How gorgeously opulent! What a pleasure to have morning coffee and posh biscuit with this lovely set!
I know just how precious family pieces are Liz. How lovely that your SIL shared with you, a delightful set to be proud of :o)

So beautiful. There is a hip hop group called the Burns Bros. Somehow I don't think they have anything to do with this china.
Wow! How generous of her to share it with you! My great aunt nicked all her mum's china when she passed away. Pity that great grandpa was still alive. And, of course; she knew nothing about it!
I agree with you, I reckon it is for coffee, judging by the size of the cups. It truly is an exquisite set with its sumptuous decoration. Nice.
Very nice x
You need to have afternoon Tea with cake and use them at least once...all the trimmings.
I love vintage china x
An exquisite set. I wonder why the apostrophe in Burn's Bros.
oh its so lovely, and my maiden name is Burn :)
It's an absolutely stunning set! Soooo nice of you SIL to share with you. That says a lot about her and how much she loves you.. xox
