I don't fancy myself much of a china sort of gal but if I was, I believe Shelley would be my china of choice. It's just pretty. Even if you're not really a china sort of gal.

Nostalgic - is this a demitasse cup or a regular size tea cup?
I believe it to be a regular size tea cup. It appears to be a fairly standard size, as opposed to smaller, when compared to any others I have. I would need to measure and do a little more research to be sure though.
Does anyone know the name of this pattern?
I've never seen this pattern by Shelley before so I started searching. I've spent the last 2 hours looking and still cannot find it. This pattern number corresponds with the Rose & Daisy - Blue pattern but the photos of the pattern are not even close. Hmmmm......
Thank you so much for your time and effort. It tends to hook you when the answer isn't readily available doesn't it?! I too have spent lots of time and I tend to return to it occassionally but haven't had any luck either. Someday... :)
I spend a lot of time researching, Nostalgic! I'm a Personal Property Appraiser and I also own an Antique & Vintage store. Research of any kind has always been a passion of mine. :-)
