Mother Teacups

Mom had a few teacups and mugs with "Mother" or "Mom" on them. I guess it was a popular gift for us kids to give her on her birthday or Mother's Day. I am almost sure she had these two although I can't remember the exact designs after all these years.

Lemon Tea Set

Mom had this tea set and it was so cute! I never remember her using it but it was in the china cabinet so I saw it every day. I think my sister has it now and she probably doesn't use it either.

Teapot

Every meal Mom would make a pot of tea in a teapot like this. I remember her telling me it was actually a coffee perculator but she had removed the middle section and just used it for steeping tea. It was always on the stove.

Tea Bag Holders

Mom kept these in the cupboard above the fridge but they were only used when we had company. They had writing on them saying "I will hold the teabag". I think we could have figured out what they were for even without the words.
