It's my first TEACUP TUESDAY!

Thank you to Martha and Terri for hosting TEACUP TUESDAY! Of course I DO enjoy Tuesdays . . . and LOVE Teacups so what a perfect combination!
My featured teacup is an Eggshell Nautilus PRISCILLA pattern by the Homer Laughlin China Company. I inherited a small collection from my Grandma Lena about 40 years ago and it brings back fond memories of staying over at her house with my 1 year younger brother Bob!
Over the years I've completed a service for 12 with all the side pieces including a teapot, coffee pot, water pitcher, gravy boat, creamer, sugar etc.

The creamy highly glazed porcelain has gold rims and small sprays of flowers and the larger pieces have bigger bouquets! The teacup bottoms have the HOUSEHOLD INSTITUTE Priscilla mark in 24k gold and the saucer has Eggshell Nautilus USA with a shell motif and Homer Laughlin HL marking in green.
This pattern was manufactured from the 1930's - 50's and I think its the sweetest!
