The cups and plates are part of a tea set my mother-in-law received when she was in Ireland. When she passed away, my husband (her son) and I inherited the tea set, with the clarification that the teapot was cracked and could not be used. I have never used the set, and it has been stored in boxes and moved many times. My friend Maggie told me about you when she had her jewelry made. My niece is getting married this May, and I thought this would be an excellent way to incorporate her grandmother (my mother-in-law) into the event. The additional pieces are for other family members who had a special connection with my mother-in-law. And this is a wonderful way to make use of the pieces instead of having them stored in a box somewhere.
