Beautiful tea set. Lovely addition to my home.

Makes two large lovely cups of tea.

Very difficult to use

I saw these cups online and they looked beautiful. However, when the cups arrived, they are extremely difficulty to use. The handle is too small but the cup itself is very heavy. So once you pour the tea into the cup, it's almost impossible to hold the cup in one hand. I have other Wedgewood cups like Kutani Crane and Columbia Gold. The Cuckhoo series are fun to watch but not practical at all.

Nice Teaware Set

I have four Audubon tea pots with bird prints, of course, and was delighted to find the Cuckoo tea set collection for it carries the bird theme started with my four Audubon tea pots. I like giving tea parties so I purchased two more tea pots from the Wedgewood Cuckoo tea set collection. Having a few relatively small tea pots works well when serving more than one variety of tea. The tea cups and saucers come in four different background colors which allows them to blend well with other fine bone china desert plates I already have: it provides the right mix of patterns without being overwhelming since they complement each other. I also like how the delicate flowers and bird grace the colored background. The Cuckoo desert plates are just the right size, not too big and not too small, and they look great alternated on the table setting with the other flowery print tea cups in my collection. The very gently scalloped edges of the saucers are another elegant touch. The cream and sugar bowls are rather small, so I either use a set for each individual guest or three sets for a table setting for 6. These are lovely teaware pieces of good enough quality for the price. I very much like the delicate organic designs and the gold rim detail as well. It makes one take a trip back in time to a somewhat more refined era…

Charming tea set!

This is one of the best "complete" tea sets in nice china out there. You can cobble one together with different china patterns, but this pattern is just for afternoon tea.
