My hubby surprised me with a Department 56, Dickens Village, Chelsea Market Tea Monger figurine. I didn't know he knew the piece existed. She'll be displayed year-round in my curio cabinet.
Aside from my tea angel figurines [which I blogged about here], I don't have a lot of tea-themed figurines, but I'm sharing the collection that I do have in today's post.
Below is a 1995 Boyds Collection piece, called Tea for Four with Sarah and Heather, Elliot, Dolly & Amelia.
A 2000 Boyds Collection piece, called "Prissie, Sissie & Missie... Fixin' Tea for Three."

A 1999 Precious Moments "Mom" figurine, from my sweet daughter!
A "Cameo Girls" head vase - Sasha 1898 "Victorian Tea Party." It's the only head vase I own.
A Victorian Lady and Tea Table
A Victorian Couple that stands 17 inches high and 10 inches wide. I admired them for a long time at the tea room where I used to work, but the owner wasn't ready to sell them. One day after I was no longer working there, I spotted them in her gift boutique, and promptly purchased them. It's hard to tell, but the lady is holding a cup and saucer in her hand.
Finishing today's post with two teapot paperweights.
What tea-themed figurines and nick-knacks are in your collection?
What a neat collection you have, Phyllis! Your husband is a keeper; he really knows what you like. That shows a lot of consideration and caring! I adore your Victorian head vase and the four friends too.

What a fun collection of tea themed figurines.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any tea themed figurines except my angels...but I LOVE those teapot paperweights. Will have to keep my eyes open for some of those. Your Mother's Day present is just right - smart hubby!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a darling collection! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI would say you have quite a nice collection.
ReplyDeleteI have two of the angels you mentioned and that is it.
What a great tea themed collection. I love that Cameo Girls head vase.
ReplyDeleteHello Phyllis
ReplyDeleteI've just commented on the previous tea party post, which I loved and I must say your collection of tea themed items is varied and nice. One of my own favourites are the little silver teapot place card holders I bought years ago - once I shine them up they look really sweet with a card telling what kind of tea is in each pot when I have a party.

Hi Phyllis,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection you have! I've been looking for tea themed figurines but they are hard to come by! Thanks for sharing your collection!

How fun to see so many pieces I never knew existed! I guess the closest things I have to figurines are a Mary Englebreit tea-themed bank and a tea table music box with little mice in the teacups. I LOVE your Mother's Day gift -- that is adorable!
