Can anyone help me find this old tea-for-one embossed bone china tea set? Huge please!

[Teaforoneset]

Hello lovely Mumsnetters, I would SO appreciate your help to find this tea-for-one set which was made about 15- 20years ago. I broke the tea pot which fitted on top of the cup years ago (and no longer have it) but I have photo’d the saucer and wide rimmed cup and the teapot lid. There is an embossed foliage design just under the top and bottom rim of the cup. It is bone china and holds about 260ml. I have tried everywhere :( . I have even tried on google images with no luck. My dear friend who gifted it to me died a long while ago. I miss her terribly and I would really love another cup or (even better) the whole tea-for-one set. She used to love BHS, M&S and John Lewis, but it could have come from another shop possibly. Please can anyone help?! Let the challenge begin! 🙏

This is such a sweet thread. Well done @persilasper and @ShouldIStaySelfIsolated! I’m so happy you found another set @Teaforoneset ❤️

Consider making something out of the previous set or having it repaired in the Japanese method of kintsugi. That’s where broken objects are put back together using gold so the broken object becomes even more beautiful than the original. 🙂

I am just SOOO grateful. It’s the best present you guys have given me 😅🥲!
it will be very VERY treasured!
i don’t actually have the teapot pieces anymore , but I have been looking for this for YEARS. Basically because I love it SO much and use it every day. I temporarily lost the cup this morning which prompted me trying again! Now I will have two cups, two saucers and a teapot 🥰🥰🥰Thanks to you wonderous Mumsnetters x

This is a very wholesome thread. Enjoy your new teapot OP!

Yay! Such a lovely thread

Ahhh lovely. Clever @ShouldIStaySelfIsolated

I love it when this happens!!

Why am I now crying over a teapot?

Lots of love, OP x

Oh you’re the sweetest! I feel in good company! I was sooo happy I did shed a few! I will be SO excited to use it when it arrives 💕
thanks for being such lovely peeps!

always keep hope

So glad you found it! For future reference, I have found the Chinasearch website useful when replenishing a dinner service with a discontinued design.

This is wonderful! I just read the whole thread but when I got to the vinted link I was really sad because it's already sold. Only just dawned on me that it has been sold TO THE OP!

I love this thread 🥰

So happy that you were able to find a new teapot/set. I would second chinasearch for discontinued china. Not cheap, but always really good quality.

This thread made my day. Go team! 💕

😭 This is so lovely.

The casual ‘is this it?’ and then the OP’s response.

Me too!!!

This is so lovely!! So pleased for you OP! I hope it produces a beautiful brew when it arrives.

Wow, I hope it arrives in one piece! 😬🤞

What a lovely thread. Well done 👏🏻 to all of you who contributed to the search

@ShouldIStaySelfIsolated

I love Mumsnet for this sort of thing. Yay you 🥳

What a lovely thread 🥰

Every time I think MN is going down the troll-pan, I come across a brilliant post like this, which is what it is all about.
☕💖to @Teaforoneset and @ShouldIStaySelfIsolated

LOL. Brilliant!

This is brilliant. I'm so thrilled for you @Teaforoneset .

Years ago I asked for help buying another toy from Adam's and while I never was lucky enough to find the right one, lots of people tried which was lovely.

Pretty sure that was from British Home Stores

Please post a picture when it arrives.

I have had a dreadful night- this has cheered me no end.
