Just bought my first set of antique teacups and this video (and your channel) have been very helpful. I chose me set based on a design I thought was pretty modern and didn't realize they were antique Haviland until doing some research.
Awwww thank you so much for your kindness and support. The research is so much fun (or at least I find it is). And if it has a patent on it! Woohoo! Haha so fun! I’m so dorky. 🤓 thanks for joining me. 🥰🙌💕
Thank you for your tea cup tips. I love tea cups and currently collect Royal Albert.
you are so welcome, and thank you for the kind comment :) Royal Albert is so beautiful :)
New sub here! I found your method of inspection very relaxing, almost ASMR-like. Very enjoyable!!
Awww thank you so much!!! Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time with us here. 💕🙌🙌
Hi Jann, Love your video. I have a collection of 24 tea cups handed down from my family that I’m preparing to sell. Your video was very helpful on how to inspect prior to selling. Thank you!
oh that's so perfect, thank you for letting me know and good luck, I hope it went well :D
Hi! I do collect tea cups. I do not even know how many I have right now 😁. I just recently learned though what was important to look for when you buy. I used to choose whatever cup I liked. Thank you for this little presentation ☕
Thanks for sharing!!
I plan to open a tea shop so I was looking for cups I found a guy on FB market place and purchased 17 cups and saucers for only $3 each and now the guy is going to notify me whenever he gets cups in. Just one of my tea cup is worth $170.oo. Another worth $70 and another is $56. I studied and looked them up and I cant believe how much my cups are worth. Those 17 I got for $51 are all together worth $549.oo only 1 had a chip.
That is amazing!!!!! 🤩 congratulations and I can’t wait to hear more about your tea shop - how fun!! 👏👏👏🩵
hi Jan. love your vid. my wife is an avid collecter of bone china too but its quite a challenge trying to find one in Singapore. We found an Aynsley Cobalt blue dated 1900 and its a beauty.
Ooooh that sounds wonderful. It’s always so amazing to find them when they are even harder to find. I am wishing you both all the luck. 🙌🥰💕 thanks for being here 💕
Yes I have a nice collection. I picked up a few new hints from you, thanks.
Awww thank you for dropping in. I so appreciate it and I’m happy I could help in any little way. Wishing you a wonderful day 💕💕🙌 thank you.
New subscriber and fellow lifestyle TH-camr here. Thanks for sharing your tips on collecting tea cups. Lovely! ☕️💗
Hello 👋 thanks so much for joining me. I’m so glad. Hope you found it useful 💕💕💕
Best video ever!
Mawww you’re the kindest 🩵
I am so glad to know I am not the only person with a teacup problem.
😂😂😂 yes
Thanks for the helpful tips! I haven't had the chance to do much of my teacup buying in person but one day I will get to a thrift shop and I will practice these (especially the light review)!
Oooh yes, I’ve been about to purchase a few times and the light review really helped me spot those cracks that I couldn’t normally see or feel. I can’t wait to hear what you find! 🥰🙌
I have 16 tea cups and saucers from the 50's among those Royal Albert. My desire is to keep making my collection bigger. I love inviting a group of friends for tea. They just feel very enthusiastic about y tea parties.
Completely agree - they really are just so special :)
Believe it or not I have a large collection of tea cups and yes some very nice Ansley teacups and saucers. It’s nice to see other people that collect it’s great to come across your channel . thank you for sharing
I love finding other collectors. It’s always so fun to see and talk about the collections. Have you been collecting for awhile? 🙌💕 thanks for joining me 🥰
I’ve been collecting since I acquired a large collection from s clean out . I’ve made several videos on tea cups I picked up.
Ooooh I will have to check that out’! 🙌💕
@@TeawithJann My mom had an antique shop and I loved wandering around with her looking for items. This was back in the 80's. I started buying tea cups that caught my eye because they fit my budget and my taste in "all things china." Fast forward to now. I'm an empty nester and downsizing. I'm ready to let go of my collection and have no clue how to go about it. After watching your video, I suppose I will inspect and look at what I actually have. Thank you for the video. Facinating! Ironically, several of the cups that you had on your table look just like several in my collection. Any advice you have for me would be welcome!
Definitely check out eBay sold items (not just what’s listed) to see what things are going for. I would look at listing them on eBay, individually, if you are looking at getting some money back. If you’re looking to just quickly unload them, you could sell them as a lot to a local-to-you reseller, but you would get much less. Feel free to send me an email if you want to discuss more. 💕 collections are wonderful until you move them along. It can come with emotions too. Wishing you the best of luck 💕
Couple good tips! ... I like how u come off really true to yourself...it's encouraging. Ya, tea cups...momentary interest. But I guess they're worth what they're worth. Lol. Thank-you....was kinda searching out variant price ranges and considerations from your video though
Hello 👋 thanks for dropping by, I hope your tea cup interest lasts more than a moment 🥰 they are so beautiful but oh so functional. Glad you found a couple good tips. Oooh price ranges are so all over the place, it seems more so now than before too. Thanks for joining in 🙌💕 sorry I didn’t answer all your questions :)
Just start to collect vintage tea cups, thanks for sharing ‘
Yay!!! I’m so glad you’re here! Vintage teacups are so sweet and such a wide variety. 🥰🫖👏
Great " inspection" video. Please give " approximate price range for tea cuos You collect, perhaps with a rating
"condition" range. Thank you ❤️👍
Ooh great idea, thanks so much 🩵
Great tips. I just started collecting and really enjoyed this video.
Awww thank you so much. It’s wonderful to collect them and think about their previous owners and homes they may have been in. I hope you are enjoying 💕👏
Came across some random cups that say bone china and was wondering if you could help me determine if they are real
Great video. This is all really good to know. I suspect once the world gets a little more back to normal I may keep my eye out for antique tea cups to add to the ones my mom gave me. Don’t know what theme to stick to yet but it’s fun to think about.
I know a lot of people don’t stick to a theme, but I would find it difficult (clearly) haha. I can’t wait to be able to check out more thrift shops 🥰🙌
Hi i have a cup and saucer which is very delicate like a china shellfeel to it. The saucer says 105 and the cup says 140. About 2 inches tall. Its light blue and has some flowers and a man and woman old fashioned picture on them. Its got gold coloured handle and edging pattern. Its scalloped and pretty. Any ideas what this is?
Ooooh that is a difficult one. You could do some searches on Google or eBay to try and find the pattern/maker but that sounds like a difficult find. I hope you like it though 🥰
Hi I received some tea cups from a lady that passed away and they are really pretty. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to find out how much they are worth and how to sell them.
Ooooh that’s always interesting, I would suggest looking up on eBay or Etsy (looking at sold products) can give you a good idea. Another option is to find an appraiser and have them reviewed. Hope that helps. 🩵👏 good luck!
Hi Jann!! Great video...great tips :)
Awww thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciate you taking the time. 🙌💕
All of the sets are so pretty. Tfs
🥰 thank you 💕
It is called obsession. I had fallen in love with Victorian roses. You are not alone.
Haha 😂 yes, obsession for sure. Victorian roses are amazing. Nice choice 💕
I love tea cups and tea pots. My favorite is a blue and white teapot wth a kinda bronze color thru it..It has an Asian mark on ot. Im gonna try and research.themark soon. mark soon.Just subscribed.
Awwww thank you so much for joining me. I’m so excited about your teaware. It’s always so fun to research (or maybe that’s just me) haha 🥰💕👏👏👏👏 welcome! 🙌💕
You have a beautiful collection!
Thank you! 🩵👏
So many of the tea cups are not drinkable? I have a set and its so think the cup is super light.
Hi I just seen this I'm new what if the tea cup don't have a name or stamp or number all so what are the top 5 if u will tell me that are rare the names and years
I also love turquoise antique tea cups. I recently came upon a rare find of a Double Warrant Paragon pristine cup and saucer in the "Easter Lily". Absolutely gorgeous. Very rare turquoise. Apparently that color is quite a collectable one. I have been collecting for over 40 years , not realizing the market value at all until recently and never found one like this. I paid $1.50 for the tea cup and saucer at a thrift store. I got it home and thought I would check out if it was of any value other than my own. OMG! This cup and saucer is worth nearly $2000.00 dollars! I nearly fell out of the chair! So Into my collection I dove, to see if I had any other Paragon. I discovered another beautiful set with a floating rose and found exact cup online for $ 950.00! Insane! Now I do not know what to do? sell or keep?
Oooooooh this is so amazing! So much excitement I can feel it! Sorry for the delayed response. I think you need to figure out what means more to you (money now, or keeping) I hope that if I ever need to sell my collection that it’s an investment, but like anything, you just never know. Massive hugs 💕
Question, do u test ur tea cups for lead? And if so how do u do that. Wanting to use my royal albert dinner wear but worried. Thanks 🎀
That’s a great question. I have not tested for lead, but definitely something we should be doing. Especially if you’re using them frequently. You can purchase test kits online. Hope that helps. And thanks for being here. 💗
@@TeawithJann thank you so much
Excellent info thank you
You are so welcome 🥰
What temperature is safe and enjoyable for antique cups? So you can protect cup and Tue tea
I haven't had any issues with my teacups and hot water. I use the temperature suggested for the tea type/blend that I'm making. Typically I would steep the tea in a teapot, and by the time I pour into my teacups, it's cooled down a few degrees. :) I hope that helps. Sorry for the late reply, I've been on a bit of a break. Thank you for being here. 😊
I have not bought my own set yet, but i do plan on convincing my parents to take me to a thrift store. It's a shame I'm so dependant on them, or else I would have had a set already!😂
ooooh I can't wait for you - that will be so excited :) excited to hear what you end up getting!
I’m jealous of your Aynsleys! I do collect vintage tea cups and my fave maker is Aynsley.😍
Ooooooh yes! Thank you! It’s a 20+ year collection. Aynsley has such wonderful designs. 🥰🙌💕
Hi
I would like to sale my tea set so I no have any idea about if this antique or no ,can I send pictures so u can give some information about 😊 Thank you in advance
Thanks so much for reaching out, I'm not currently looking to purchase any, but you could reach out to Replacements.com and see if they are looking to purchase. Thanks again and best of luck :)
I miss the little blurb of music that comes after "I am Jann"...and I love that emerald green teacup!!!
Oooooh thank you for letting me know that! I was wondering if it was too much or not. I’m forever trying new things. 🙌💕 thanks for the feedback. 🙌💕
Thanks Jann for the tips. I went to Goodwill couple weeks ago trying to get some nice tea pot and cup and saucer.. they have some in the glass cabinet behind cashier 🤔. Didnt get a close look then. Will try vintage shop next. But not sure of prices. Saw some online like 100 per set??
Oooooh yes, the prices can vary greatly, depending on maker, year, condition, colour, design, and rareness. I have paid as little as $2 for one of my Aynsley teacup/saucer sets and up to almost $300. It really varies. Perhaps I’ll chat about pricing in a future video. 🥰🙌 I hope you score a great one! 🙌
What about the numbers marked in gold at the bottoms of the cups and saucer’s. Do they have to match?
Yes. :) I'm more familiar with my antique Aynsley teacups, and they should match (it's the code for the pattern). It's a good way to see if a teacup and saucer have been 'married' and were not originally together, but might look good together. It's also a good way to search sites to find additional pieces to your set (if that's what you're trying to do). Sorry for the late reply - I've been on a bit of a break. Thank you so much for being here :)
Hi madam
I have some and I want to sell it
Any idea
I'm living at Indonesia
Thank you
Hello 👋 I’m not familiar with your sites available to you. Perhaps eBay? 🩵 good luck!
do you buy bohemia crystalex tea set handmade from Czech republic 24 karat gold plated
Hello 👋 I have not, no ☺️
great video.. wondering if you could offer advice. i just purchased a Paragon "my valentine" tea cup and saucer. It is pretty rare and hard to find. in the description it said no chips, cracks etc... and i paid around 275$ Canadian for it. But when it came, it did have a "ding" or chip on the inside of the teacup, which i can see without any magnification needed. The seller said she didn't notice it.... and is offering me 20% off... i think this really devalues it but given its rarity, should I accept her offer or counter with something less... i am not sure how much a chip like that devalues the cup?? any thoughts?
oooh this is definitely a difficult one to ponder. With vintage and antiques, it's hard to notice everything, I hope your seller did their best, but the price point is a higher one that should have an extra look through. Sorry this happened to you. I'm not familiar with that teacup, but you could do some searching to see if it's still worth it for you. I'm sorry I'm not more helpful on this matter and I wish this didn't happen to you. Take care and I hope this doesn't stop your love for shopping online for vintage and antiques. Take care.
Another great video, Jann! After our conversation on IG, I decided to start collecting tea cups with birds painted on them. I'll also buy others that strike my fancy, but my main goal/collection will go nicely with one of my life's biggest obsessions. Thanks, as always, for the videos!
Oooooooh yay!!!! I’ve wondered if you went with the bird theme. It’s so interesting. I love that you’re collection is showing off your other obsession. Brilliant idea! 🥰🙌 thanks so much for joining me and for letting me know you moved forward with the birds. Love it. 🙌
Hi Jann, love your video. I recently collect some tea cups, some royal grafton and some haviland. I have a question though, how to tell if a antique cup useable? Since you use them often, I think you may have some tips. Thank you.
Hello Shuo, thank you for your kindness. You definitely wouldn’t want to use any tea ware with cracks, chips, or damage to the glaze (like crazing). Some suggest not using any with paintings on the inside (where the liquid would go). Hope that helps. Take care. 💕
@@TeawithJann ok, Thank you for your advice, I’m getting to it now.
I'm always scared to use them what temperature is acceptable mine has crazed!! I.e the crazy crack patterns inside. I even heard on one website it could leach lead and radiation!! How do you make sure they don't have these glazes.
Oh I don’t use any with crazing on the inside of the cup, for that reason. You could always use a lead test to be sure before using any of them. I would typically make my tea in a teapot and then pour from there, so the tea would be cooled down (definitely not boiling). Hope that helps 💕
Was just wanting to learn more about tea cups and you definitely helped out I did not know that the cup shape would have names can you suggest a clip that has the different cup types ?
I was wanting to buy myself to use
oooh sorry for the delayed response, I missed some messages. I don't have one, but I'll definitely add it to the list :D thanks for joining me :)
What does the term "rings true" and also the term "double warranted mean" when it comes to tea cups?
Best Porcelain
Original
24 CT Gold
Japan Design
Do you drink tea In those cool tea cups
I have a collection of turquoise Aynsley antique teacups and I do use them 🥰
Thank you
You're welcome
Love tea cup very munch 😍
awww thanks for joining me :)
I got a wedge wood tea cup but with no saucer.. is it worth anything?
For sure! Depending on what "worth" is to you or someone else. There might be someone without a cup that has a saucer, and sometimes just the cup is beautiful on it's own. I hope you enjoy your cup :)
@@TeawithJann it is indeed I also noticed the ink design around the inner lip has sorry of a miss print which makes it even more special I think. Also THANKS FOR THE REPLY! I know your very busy. Your knowledge is higher value than any cups! Lol💓🙏
oooh yes, I know some people find the little imperfections or dents in a teapot (as an example) to be not great, I think we all look at things differently, and I love seeing and feeling the life something once had. I really appreciate your kindness and you being here. Wishing you the best day :) thanks! 💕
You as well!
These are Venus ones.
We have royal series plates by victoria yamato
Oooooh those sound lovely 💕💕
I just one tea set cause a series of a boy on the 80s century drinked real grey tea and with a tea cup, but i have no idea where to buy old tea cups :(
hello, I get old tea cups from local thrift stores, or online, even some of the big online second hand places are useful (just usually not as good a deal). sorry for the late reply - I missed your message. sorry about that. take care.
It could be better if you would have zoomed the bottom marks...🙂
Completely agree 🫣 hopefully next time 💕
I collect only Royal Albert
Ooooh that’s a lovely choice 💕🙌
I have a problem😂😂😂 yep, me too😂
Haha at least we have company 😂😂😂🤷♀️💕
🤔
The word "vintage" would be more accurate than "antique"!
Hi Bernideen! nice to meet you, thanks for dropping by! Many people, like yourself, put the 100 year or older age on an antique, with anything less being vintage. I appreciate and use both words, they are so wonderful. Take care and have a delightful day :) Jann
Too much talking and little else .....
Sorry to hear my videos and style are not for you. Wishing you all the best in the future and hoping you can find some people and videos that are more your style. Take care, Jann
