Tea Ceremony Tea Set

I read somewhere in the internet that this girl uses the tea set passed down by her mum. It was so beautiful, I thought. I was told I might still be able to buy it from Chinatown. Then again, the thing is, it would be very special if it is something that was passing down from the past generation, isn't it?

At home, I pestered my mum for hers but she could not remember where it was anymore and yet she did not remember throwing it. Then she assumed it was with her brother, my uncle, and auntie-in-law, trying to think that she lent it to them for their wedding.

Last week, mum paid a visit to my grandmother, her mother-in-law. As they were talking about what to buy for GDL, my grandmother brought up that the my mum's tea set was still well kept at home!

I felt a little excited to hear that.

I received the tea set all wrapped with newspapers. The first I grabbed was the long standing tea pot. Ah! It's exactly the same like I saw. Then the cups, and then the tray. Now I saw the real thing. The tea set is in pearly white and pink, gold trimmings and handles that make the whole thing shines.

Thank you grandmother for still keeping it. It's becoming my treasure. =)
