Teacup and Saucer Sets for the Best Afternoon Tea Party Ever
At Girls Afternoon Tea we are constantly on the lookout for new and exciting afternoon teas. However, an afternoon tea party is not just about the fresh finger sandwiches and delicious sweet treats. Your crockery can be just as much a show stopper as your best baked cake. Here we turn the tables and have selected a few of our favourite teacup and saucer sets that we think would add a stylish flair to any afternoon tea party.

Miss Etoile Teacup and Saucer Sets
Say bonjour to Miss Etoile, a quirky, feminine character who emits a little ooh la la reflecting the glamour of a Parisian boudoir. You can imagine being a guest at her tea party – lively, funny, surrounded by fashionable people and exceedingly chic. This French inspired teacup and saucer set definitely reflects the magic of the much loved children’s classic, Beauty and the Beast.
Miss Etoile’s companions include carefully crafted porcelain teapots, mugs and teacups and saucers with her eyes open and closed. We think she would be the belle of the ball at any afternoon tea party.
The Miss Etoile teacup and saucer sets and other teaware is available from Twinings. Prices start at £12.60 for an open eyed mug. Definitely one for our Christmas list this year.
