Treasure Chest Thursday - Nana's Triple Vase

Once again another of Mark's grandmother's items for the treasure chest.  This triple vase measures almost 11 1/2 inches tall.  It has three places where flowers can be placed.  I have not used the vase, it remains tucked safely away in my "treasure cabinet" out of reach of the grandkids. 

If you've seen another vase like this and have any information on the vase I'd love to hear from you.

Treasure Chest Thursday - Nana's Tiny Tea Cups (#2)

Above another of Nana's tiny teacups sitting on its little "riser".

With a ruler you can see that the plate is barely three inches across. The same detail on the little saucer is repeated on the inside of the tiny cup. 

Cup & saucer together, view looking down you can see the shape of the cup and the inside details matching the tiny saucer.

And finally the marking on the bottom. Most of Nana's tiny cups have some sort of mark on the bottom simular to this one.

Treasure Chest Thursday - Nana's Tiny Tea Cup

This tiny tea cup & saucer belonged to Mr. Brown Eye's grandmother.  We received it when she passed away several years ago.  The tea cup itself is about 1 3/4 inches tall and holds 2 1/2 Tablespoons of liquid.   The cup has a tiny chip in the rim but other wise is in perfect condition.  There are several other "sets" of this sort in the mini collection.
