1930s Brentleigh Ware Children’s Teacups & Saucers (Majolica Fruit Handles)

A charming little Brentleigh Ware children’s tea set from the 1930s, in soft graduating lemon yellow with sweet majolica-style fruit handles. These small cups and saucers were often given as gifts for birthdays, christenings or “good manners teas” — a tiny echo of grown-up ritual for little hands learning how to host.

Perfect for display in a nursery, cottage kitchen or dresser shelf. The size also works beautifully as an espresso or small macchiato cup set in a modern home (they hold about the same capacity as a small continental-style coffee cup).
