The readers of my blog know I collect vintage English teacup trio sets.
A trio includes a teacup and saucer and "side plate."
This pretty bone china set is Orleans Rose by Royal Standard.
I am drinking Organic Bai Mu Dan (Silver Peony) from Red Blossom Tea Company,
a family owned tea shop in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown.
We visited this tea shop several years ago. I order fine teas from their website www.redblossomtea.com

I saw 2 Orleans Rose yesterday while up in Denver antiquing. One had some of the gold missing and the other was way too much $$$. I do have one myself and it is a beautiful pattern indeed. Glad you found this beloved trio.
Another lovely addition to your trio collection. By now you could probably write a collector's book on trios.
That is a lovely teacup trio. Thanks for the link to Red Blossom Tea.
Yummy tea and a lovely trio!
Beautiful! I also love trio sets!
Love this trio! Trio are so much harder to find. Yours is beautiful. Have a wonderful week. Blessings, Martha
Oh, so pretty!
Linda, your Orleans Rose is gorgeous! I have the teacup but not the saucer. Would love to find one. It is such a sweet pattern. How lovely you have the trio. I like to find trios too but here on the Island, it is difficult. Thank you for sharing yours and for joining me for tea.
Blessings,
Sandi
I have a set of that pattern and love it! So pretty!

Another pretty pattern with roses. I always admire the trio sets shared from bloggers over tea.
I of course LOVE this trio since it so prominently features those large roses I love! China roses will have to do me until it's warm enough for the live ones to start blooming again!
That is a really beautiful rose set!
A beautiful trio and the tea sounds just perfect to sip from that cup.
