&...This is what I found about the two handled cups:<br />"The porcelain was brought back from China in leaky old wooden ships. It was American Clippers and earlier than that, East Indiamen from Portugal, Holland, England and Sweden. <br /><br />To keep the expensive tea dry they needed something that could stand water to put in the bottom of the cargo hold and it was there the porcelain came in as a perfect merchandise. But, as the 18th century went along the potters and the traders invented more and more different shapes until we ended up with the 19th century dinner sets with literally hundreds of pieces with one special shape for every conceivable purpose. They even made trays to put under spoons. <br /><br />And that is where two handles came in."<br /><br />You have some really beautiful pieces.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690722786561637489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854349486430756566.post-72147397852518594032012-01-05T08:33:35.108-05:002012-01-05T08:33:35.108-05:00You have some very pretty crockery and glasswareYou have some very pretty crockery and glasswarelindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123994240735969882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854349486430756566.post-37102796428446031552012-01-04T23:29:29.936-05:002012-01-04T23:29:29.936-05:00Such beautiful pieces and what wonderful memories ...Such beautiful pieces and what wonderful memories are behind some of them.

I too have many pieces of china and crystal that I treasure...only because they remind me of people who are dear to me. I much prefer those kind of pieces to expensive items from a china shop. I also have one cup and saucer set, where the cup has two handles. I don't know the story behind it.Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/00929685771427155673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854349486430756566.post-86598139353269657232012-01-04T18:43:06.922-05:002012-01-04T18:43:06.922-05:00greetings from Canada, This is my first time comme...greetings from Canada, This is my first time commenting.<br />I enjoy all your ideas on little inexpensive gifts and decorating. You are very creative.<br />I think that the cup you are wondering about is a soup bowl but I may be wrong.

I spent the entire day doing that and it feels so good to have everything neat and clean once again.<br />I loved this close up view of the pretty dishes in your glass front cupboards. Each piece is not only beautiful, but the memories make them even more special. Is the cup with 2 handles for soup?Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854349486430756566.post-31332130190735634002012-01-04T16:05:01.280-05:002012-01-04T16:05:01.280-05:00Yours is just beautiful...yes, I LOVE china and cr...Yours is just beautiful...yes, I LOVE china and crystal and have a fascination with them both.
