My little treasure...

 I went to the flea market and I found a lovely tea set. 

The lid of the teapot was broken, but I loved this set.

It had to cost 15 euro....but that was too much...

But I could not forget the teapot (why not make it a flower vase?) and

the lovely cup and saucers.

So, I walked again along the stall, took another look at the teaset. 

The woman who had to sell it said:

Well, you can buy it for 10 euro..... 

hmmm....think, think....do I dare to haggle? I said:

Is 7,50 euro allright? And she said: Okay!

 So I almost dropped a cup, before I paid...but luckely that went well....

When I came home, I looked at the bottom of the cup and I saw:

   C (brand) T

Tielsch - Altwasser

40

And curious as I was, I've looked at the internet and there it was:

The teaset was made in germany, by the firm Tielsch in Altwasser.

And the 40 at the bottom?

That meant that it was made in 1940....

Wow...

I found myself al little treasure...

Just for 7,50 euro! 

And now it's standing on the table, on a tray and...

with a broken lid...
