Cup and Saucer

Cup and Saucer
A very simple still-life image of this lovely little cup and saucer set, which I purchased in a local charity shop.

All is not as it seems though............the cup and saucer are actually glued together. You can then tie a length of string through the handle, put some bird seed in the cup and saucer and hang it in a tree.

Now I've taken the photo, I'll be doing exactly that!

Berny, Leo W, Xata, John FitzGerald and 14 other people have particularly liked this photo

This type of cup is too small and delicate for my banana fingers Stephan :-)). I prefect a large mug!

Glad you like the photo and thanks for dropping by.

Many thanks for your kind comments Mikus.

I'll have to wait until it stops raining to put it out for the birds..........otherwise the saucer fills with water. A basic design fault :-)))
