Lenox Monarch Butterfly Meadow Cup And Saucer, 1.3 LB

This is a lovely tea cup. Holds 8 oz perfectly. Beautiful detail and colors

I purchased the 7-piece Lenox Butterfly Meadow tea set that includes two cup & saucer sets and decided to add two more sets of cups & saucers to round it out. The set is shipped in secure in a lovely pale blue box with cardboard partitions separating the pieces to avoid chips or breaking and my sets arrived in perfect condition.The Meadow Monarch cut & saucer is a perfect beautiful match for the tea set and It goes without saying the Lenox brand is quality, well-made china which is very evident in every piece I've purchased from the line.There are many fine details that make this cut & saucer not only interesting but beautiful as well - the quality of the china is smooth and each butterfly design is vivid and looks as if were individually hand-painted and there are also little painted designs and overall the designs are accurately-rendered, colorful and exquisite. The saucer also has colorful little details that match the cup. I haven't used the tea set or cup & saucer yet but take pieces out occasionally just to look (lol!). Each piece is so beautiful and expensive looking I know tea-time will be a joy. This set may be a bit more pricier than the average cup & saucer but it's worth every penny and you will definitely not be disappointed - I plan to add every butterly pattern that's available to my collection..

I feel like I'm having tea with the King of England.

It came as described, a little late but still great quality. I had already bought a set before, yet broke one of the cups, so needed a replacement and these did the job great. Perfect for picnics or afternoon tea.

This Lenox collection is porcelain so you can easily put them into the dishwasher and not worry. Love the Butterfly Meadow patterns. Fun to collect and give as gifts. It is much heavier and thicker than bone china, just be aware.
