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! 🙏

Tea and and a cat, has to be my favourite post for today!

love the photo. what a nice thread. love a story with a happy ending, including a cat lol

For anyone wanting a fantastic new tea for 1 set, I highly recommend T2. They release new ones yearly and there have been a year or two where I look at new releases and think, meh, nope, but other years they have absolute beauties. I have several - when I obviously only need one - as I can’t pass a beautiful one up. My family joke that when I die, every grandchild (which I don’t even have yet), will be handed down it’s own tea for 1 set (and they are all T2 over the years).

What a lovely thread ❤️!
So glad you got it OP.

Oh my, I just came back to this thread and wasn't prepared for the high, low and then high again!

Love the updates, glad you now have a full second set, and especially loved the picture of the cat inspecting the tea.

@HoppingPavlova damn you, I didn't know I needed that until I clicked on it today. I love the Moditeranean set apologizes to bank balance

Hurrah for the power of Vinted and Mumsnet! So pleased to hear the second set has arrived intact. BrewCake
