I'm not a collector specifically of valentine-themed china, but I can't resist romantic china. I found this hand-painted Old Paris porcelain large cup at an estate sale several years ago.
Such an adorable couple. Pink English Primroses.
Very loving scene of them holding hands and her touching his head while he reads her love poems. Of course, this is just like Mr. Swede and I, except he doesn't wear the funny blue cape. [big smile].
The pedestal cake plate is English Royal Worcester with a date mark of 1877.
I hope you have romance in your life on Valentine's Day.

Ah, the Romantic Heart! Beautiful pieces and even without the blue cape, am sure Mr. Swede's a softie on Valentine's Day.
