Teacups - Every home should have some!

A tea cup is no longer just a tea cup nowadays. Yes, of course they are still used by the traditional tea drinkers, but for the non-tea drinkers (like me) and retro, vintage and teacup lovers, the teacup has a lot to offer! They can be used as decoration, candle holders, plant pots and cakes can be baked in them...
