This is an old English one. I keep these up high on a shelf, where I can see them, but I can't break them. I think I should get them down and use them, to keep their spirits alive . . .
And these are thick pottery ones you would have seen in a diner or restaurant. We actually use these:

We have gone from 70 degrees F to under 40 degrees F in 24 hr! December seems to be coming in, in a proper way for Advent.

A collection worthy of a tea party, can I come!
Yes, you should take them down and use them.
From Norway, wow. Do you know which company?
