Celebrate spring by displaying the season’s early bloomers in antique cups and saucers. Our design expert Michael Penney chose delicate mismatched teacups to highlight the elegant shape of each flower, then grouped them together for a burst of pretty colour. Perfect for an intimate tea party or a family brunch.
