my mikasa

I love green ceramics, japanese ones especially. So when I saw these cups and saucers at a thrift store I had to have them. Lucky for me they were a song, 8 saucers and 7 cups for $5. The design is Mikasa Duplex by Ben Seibel in green 2559. A quick search online reveals that many others like this design and they come in a range of delicious colours. I'm a bit sad I'm one cup short of a set of 8, but I seldom have 8 over for a cuppa so it shouldn't matter that much really, maybe I could start thinking that I have one extra saucer.

    I have three cups and sauces in Duplex, but in the beautiful butter yellow. It is such a lovely design. Great find!
