<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 3059598, member: 7360"]When I extract this from its hiding place in a box somewhere (there are many boxes in my house!), I will try to drink from it and see if I can manage it without dribbles! I know there are lots of fancy art deco teasets, many perhaps given as wedding presents, which were fairly unusable and spent several generations in cupboards before being sold off as collectables, unused. At least the corners on my cup are flattened, not pointed like some Clarice Cliff designs! It must have been awkward holding your cups in a way to drink from the corner, but I'm glad your set has been used. Square plates and bowls are ok and probably easier to store than round ones, but square cups are a step too far. As for square toilets . . .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
