Description: I think this is my prettiest teacup and for the foxglove lover, a must have. While it is dainty, there is a lot of movement with one stem of bells leaning and others standing upright. There are also blue forget-me-nots. Foxglove–Digitalis purpurea – is a deadly plant and yet, it also has been used in modern medicine to save lives. The Welsh call it – Ffion or Maneg Ellyllyn — The Good People’s Glove. It is believed that the English name of fox gloves comes from the AngloSaxon “fairy bells.” The forget-me-not has its roots in folklore, too. A knight was picking a bouquet for his love by a riverbank and fell in, sinking because of the weight of his armor. These stories and more can be pondered while sipping tea from your lovely teacup. No cracks, chips, or crazing. It will be carefully wrapped.
