These are two pieces that we inherited from my mother; a tea pot and a cup.
Continuing my theme of "small imperfections", I put a few drops of tea in the bottom of the cup and used a hair dryer to evapourate the water to leave a small area of tea residue.
I'm not loving the patchiness of the gold on the tea pot handle (mostly from the lighting), so I may have to attack that some more.
