Pretty, bright blue forget me not flowers decorate this bone china tea for one. Some of the flower bouquets are tied with a pretty pink bow by Lane End of England.
The blue forget me not flowers symbolized romance associated with a tragic fate. Legend states that in medieval times, a knight and his lady were walking along side of a river when the knight spied a lovely cluster of blue flowers. He bent to pick the flowers to present to his lady when the weight of his armor caused him to fall into the river. As he was drowning he threw the flowers to his lady and shouted " Forget-me-not". Forget me not flowers are often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love, so are often used in weddings as well as anniversary celebrations.
The tea for one set is not microwave oven safe since it is trimmed in gold.
