Tuesday Cuppa Tea, Irish Blessing mugs, Belleek Shamrock Cream And Sugar





Hello and welcome to Tuesday Cuppa Tea! I'm in an Irish mood today, so....




I am sharing 2 Irish blessing mugs another blogger's post reminded me I have. They are unmarked, ceramic and date to the 1980s. They have embossed Celtic decoration and look perfect for Irish coffee, or Barry's Irish Breakfast Tea!  This Irish blessing says: 


May The Soft Breeze Freshen Your Spirit







This one is a companion and the Irish blessing is:


May The Rain Fall Lightly On Your Roof






And to go with it, a Belleek cream and a Belleek sugar basin, both with green shamrocks, but with different shapes.







So bake some Irish Soda bread...I'm going to...and have a cup of Barry's Irish Breakfast Tea, fill the sugar basin with Demarara sugar cubes and have a cup while the corned beef and cabbage simmer in the pot! Perfect!

For info on any of the items above at Antiques And Teacups, click on the photos.


Below are the links to the other tea related blog parties and the linky for Tuesday Cuppa Tea!  I raise my cuppa to you...and my husband raises his glass of Guinness!

    Sweet mugs. My favorite is the mug with the text-May The Rain Fall Lightly On Your Roof. I wish you a very nice week! Zinnia

    Hi Ruth
    I adore your Belleek, so many times I've picked a piece up to buy and then had to justify the price. I'll settle with grandmother's shamrock teacups.
    I plan to bake some Irish soda bread too.

    Your mugs are wonderful, Ruth! I love the Belleek pieces! They are lovely.
    I will be making Potato Soup and Soda Bread for Hubby this weekend instead of the usual Corned Beef and Cabbage. I wanted to make something different this year.
    Thanks for joining me today and have a wonderful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hi Ruth,
    How lovely are these Belleek porcelain pieces! I love Belleek with that delicate moulding, the shamrocks, that iridescence...
    Very appropriate to celebrate St Patrick's Day!
    Hugs

    Hi Ruth, Your Belleek items are gorgeous! You reminded me that I should get out the Belleek vase I purchased when I went to Ireland.
    Hugs, Beth

    Hi Ruth! Love the mugs - and their blessings! Celtic literature and poetry is a special love of mine. Their art and simplicity of design have always blessed me. Thanks for posting and hosting today!
    Joy!

    Hi Ruth,
    very nice St. Patricks post. I love the mugs and the Irish blessings are really nice. But the Belleek creamer and sugar are beautiful. Love the dainty clovers.
    Best greetings, Johanna
