This style of cup probably has a name, but I have no idea what it is. I do know that they are tiny and cute and covered in adorable teapot, teacup and cake motifs, and they were only £1.50 for the set - result!
Next is the task of deciding what use to put them to. Initial thoughts are:
- Mini dishes for super rich chocolate mousse type desserts
- Dessert dishes for the girls (when they are a little older and less likely to smash them into 57 tiny pieces
- Plant pots for herb seedlings (although they are very small and have no drainage, so I'm not sure if this would be possible)
- Storage for cocktail sticks and...um...other small items
- Make them into scented soy candles (but would they break? I have seen people do this with teacups, so it should be ok?)
- Something else...hmmm.
