These cups were made for many decades. The ones that turn up rarely have their saucers.

The boys really did enjoy their tea~<br /><br />LindaSue, for a few years our every day dinnerware was old cafeteria plates and bowls. I still use them for potlucks. Heavy glass that can handle a lot of abuse and still clean up fine.<br /><br />Pondside, THANK-YOU! I figured the Maple Leaf and maritime symbols must have something to do with Canada, and maybe it was from a sea side hotel, but this makes the most sense! The Canadian Coast Guard, love their insignia and it looks good on my table.<br /><br />Terri, thank-you. I am going to do some on-line research into the Canadian Coast Guard now!<br /><br />Vickie, you may soon be the owner of one of these pincushions!<br /><br />Linda, you are entered! I like Fiesta ware and jadeite, but don't own any. I have always enjoyed using the good stuff too, especially with children. I break more dishes than any children in our home ever have so don't worry about little ones breaking my dishes.<br /><br />Bookie, blue and white are my favorite colors, my house is saturated with blue and white. <br /><br />Anonymous, thank-you!<br /><br />Sandi, I think you and Pondside are right, and thank-you!I appreciate the help, this is what I love about blogging!<br /><br />Carol, you are so funny! I think after seeing your lovely home and gardens in your blogs that you know how to use fine tings well, and also incorporate them into your lovely and welcoming home.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-40089607597954537902010-09-07T21:04:12.225-07:002010-09-07T21:04:12.225-07:00Whoooo.....what a cool idea turning the teacup int...Whoooo.....what a cool idea turning the teacup into a pincushion.

I dare say it is an insignia of the Canadian Coast Guard or one of our ships. The Jacob sheep wool pincushion sounds wonderful! Thank you for your visit to my blog.
