The Jane Eyre Teacup....Beautiful Hammersley Cup and Saucer

Description

This is a fine quality, bone china cup and saucer made by Hammersley, England.

"No sight so sad as that of a naughty child," he began, "especially a naughty little girl. Do you know where the wicked go after death?"
"They go to hell," was my ready and orthodox answer.
"And what is hell? Can you tell me that?"
"A pit full of fire."
"And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there for ever?"
"No sir."
"What must you do to avoid it?"
I deliberated a moment; my answer, when it did come, was objectionable: "I must keep in good health, and not die."--Jane Eyre's theological discussion with Mr. Brocklehurst, from Charlotte Bronte's novel.

This cup reminded me of Jane because it was both demure and defiant--wild, swirling clouds of blue flowers restrained by delicate, ladylike ribbon festoons. Passionate, like the character of Jane Eyre, yet self-contained and controlled. The color on this set is BRILLIANT! Very pretty! Cup measures roughly 2" without the saucer and is approximately 3-3/4" from rim to rim. Saucer measures approximately 5-1/2" from rim to rim.

CONDITION: Absolutely mint--no chips, cracks, crazing, fleabites or wear to the pattern or gold. Very nice!
