Since moving to Germany I have started collecting these wonderful tea cups with matching saucers and plates from the second hand shops here. I ran into a lady yesterday that told me there was a wonderful history behind it, something about after the war, ladies would bring their own over to friends houses for coffee and such. I can not find anything on line about this history or tradition that she is talking about. Do any of you know anything about it? Much Peace

I used to take care of this elderly lady (Germany- 1993-...not too long ago). She was very fond of me and gave me a beautiful tea cup and the matching saucer.
Do you believe what she said? Just take her word for it,...and have fun collecting. What a pity, though, because when the elderly pass away, most of these things go to the wrong people...people who don't appreciate them like you do.
In fact the cup and saucer I'm talking about are in my Mom's house in Germany...and she is planning to get rid of everything before she sells the house. The cup and the saucer have gold edging... beautiful! I didn't want to bring them with me when I moved to Hawaii, because they would have been damaged for sure.
