Omg! I am way behind...currently holidaying in Spain. Just bobbing in and out.. I'll need to rewind when I get home..It's like homework 😩..just caught the glass blowing ,(lets face it that's the only thing that's being blown) I must admit I enjoyed Benjamin and his expertise, even ' the girls ' doing their bit.. Not sure why Dan was there but maybe Kat can respond? Blissfully no utterances from Phiphi...I know a great place to shove that pipe.. I'm thinking Cammy did the editing? Anyway quite enjoyed the experience of Morano ( not sure if spelling is correct) I wonder if they purchased anything?

Mine too... the only silverware service I collect.


Fascinating, as I would have thought the smaller ones were coffee/mocca cups and the wider ones tea cups.

It might actually depend on the culture using them, but traditionally in the US coffee is a wide shallow cup, chocolate is a tall skinny cup, demitasse is the smallest at roughly the size and shape of an espresso cup while tea is about half the width of a coffee cup and a third taller. There’s a reason for the differences but as that was learned 40 years ago, I don’t remember it.

above is a Limoges chocolate service from roughly the Belle Epoque.

Jp, that’s the best Anne-Marie has looked in a very long time. Also, was Anne-Marie’s party before the wedding? If so, kid 1 and kid 2 couldn’t have been badly injured or Annalise surely would’ve cancelled on Fanny. We all know Sgirl would’ve vlogged it to steal views from Danny Boy.(yes Fanny, we’re well aware you’re Sgirl, you’re only evil, not clever)

We all know everything is click bait... if anything was seriously wrong would your first thoughts be to post about it ?

You are correct! They are what is known as Demi tasse in the business…for after dinner coffee.
The teacups are bigger and more fluted shape. Not in that picture!

China manufacturers were very clever to find a cup for every occasion. It is just that lie lande get the wrong piece for the wrong occasion. Table scape specialist my foot.

Now tell me… we have brought Kat along to be the comedy act , I am here for the Botox. Not sure why Ollie and Snorts went to the glass blowing island of Murano? Dan filmed.

You’re right, that’s what I get for not looking closely at the cups lying on their sides. This is the tea cup.
