We just aren't cup & saucer people -- we prefer mugs -- so when I bid and won through Ebay several of these Royal Doulton Kingfisher dishes, cups and saucers were part of the package and I wondered what to do with them. It seemed sort of sad and wasteful to just tuck them in a cupboard or something. Deciding on a cup & saucer display rack was the easy part -- finding one I liked was a b%$!ch. Even this one wasn't exactly what I had in mind -- a bit frou-frou -- but it's the best I could find. And I do like it! Seems like everything was either vertical, which wouldn't work on the wall over my stove where I wanted to hang it. Or else, we're talking "shabby chic" which doesn't fit in with our somewhat modern decor. This works, and I'm tickled to be able to enjoy the cups & saucers without using them!
