Who says that the days of tea sets are gone? Of course, there were days when tea sets were a mark of elegance and sophistication. Though, tea sets are not used much these days, still there are homes which cannot do without tea sets. Just like my aunt’s home who do serve tea in tea sets only. In her home are lined up tea sets of different designs, porcelain and cuts. Some of them are five cup sets and some of them are six; she even has a two cup set. Her collection includes those from England and yes, those little Chinese cups and saucers which are so dominant in the Indian Market. Even I used to have a two cup and saucer set when I was a kid.

Some of them come in metal; some of them are made of porcelain and some of china. Their designs too are unique. Some of them are made of porcelain with scriptures inscribed on them, some are painted with flowers and birds and some of them have kids cartoons made on them. The range and variety of tea sets differs from place to place. It is in these designs that the beauty of tea sets lie.

The cut of saucers and cups along with kettle also differ. Some of them are round, some rectangular, some oval and some of them are in cut design. Whatever the design of the tea set, the combination of the base color, the design inscribed or painted and the shape makes the most of the tea set. The tea set gets its elegance when it is set on the tray and tea is served.

The color of the tea sets definitely has an important impact on the onlookers. Made in different colors like red, pink, blue, orange, white, yellow, golden, silver, black and others add the most impressive impact on the guests. Once served with tea, these are an art statement which tells about the taste of the lady of the house.

One can buy these beautiful tea sets from online shopping stores like Home Shop 18, where these can be found in a varies range. In this range comes a whole statement – some of them are locally made and some of them are branded. To choose among them is a matter of choice…
