Millport is a small Scottish town on the island of Cumbrae a short ferry ride from Largs, not far from Greenock. When I was a wee girl it was a very popular place in the summer for day trips and holidays. Still is, to a certain extent. A popular thing to do there is to hire a bicycle and cycle round the island.
I was delighted with my find - these lovely bits and pieces are becoming rarer at affordable prices. They are bone china and marked Thistle.
Just love the decoration - so pretty. I love finding Scottish items!
Joining this week's Monday Social at Let's Add Sprinkles - come and have a look at some of the marvellous things there.
Love, Liz

Hi Liz,wow what a beautiful set,well spotted .
They are lovely cups and saucers. What a great find! I have a large collection of cups and saucers and each one has its special place. Have a wonderful week, Pat xx
Such soft, pretty colors. Love the tartan design.
Oh Liz, how lucky to have found those beautiful cups and saucers. The thistles and ribbon and gilded messages are charming. Will you be serving shortbread along with tea? xo
They are so delightful. Great find.
What a lovely find. The decoration is exquisite. I love vintage souvenir items, so much better than the tat you find today. xxx
Oh my. This is gorgeous. Such a wonderful find. Thanks for linking up to Monday Social.
Beautiful! Mum and dad used to collect little creamware souvenirs from our holidays. I have my mum and dad's Arcopal Harlequin 6 piece cup and saucer set from 1963 and my nanna's Murano glass fish vases; they're my treasures. Best, Jane :)
