Miniature tea cup

Painting with light:

Here we have a Miniature tea cup, vintage in years and made from Bone china.
No markings on the cup but I know that it's donkeys years old.

The best way I could find to light it up was with a small dumpy candle placed inside..there are three or four other images taken which had the candle flame and smoke protruding out the top, but although the curly flame looked very pretty, it also moved away the focus from the cup over to the bright Flame, soooo I posted this one.

The image on the cup seems like a Quaker Scene, (Both front and back). Well thats pretty much all I know about the cup, except it was gifted to us...

It makes a great candle holder...
