Helping write the history of teacup designs were names like Royal Doulton, Haviland, and Spode. Their designs furthered the teacup as an art form that represented a culture.
For centuries, the treasured teacup, whether chipped or carefully maintained and without blemish, has made countless journeys from the shelf to the table and back again. A vital part of cultural customs, it has maintained its place in high culture and deep-rooted tradition while seeming equally at home on a simple shelf or modest table.
