Pretty as a peacock.....

(Photo altered in photobucket...color pallet..just on the cup.)

Pretty as a peacock is truly what these are!!!  They are so unique and just my style.  I found them at Pier 1 Imports and a little high in price ($10.00 ea) but to me they were worth it.  My hubby and I decided to drop in a couple of weeks ago to see if they carried cookie cutters for a craft project but I found these instead. 

The turquoise is just beautiful and I am not sure if it really is a peacock design they had in mind but that was how I saw them. 

The pattern design around each white section and around the green base is etched in the glaze so that it has some texture to it.  I am a texture kinda person so this felt great in my hand.

And to top it off it has a etched design in the bottom too!!!  I just can't wait until our kitchen is done so that I can have these on display. I decided to have turquoise as one of my accent colors in the kitchen so I am keeping my eye out for some unique items to have on display.  I love having different designs/patterns but the same color because it just gives it some interest without being eclectic.   I only bought three because if later I should find another cup I can't live without I will have room for them....and let me tell you this was not easy as I really wanted to buy six!!!

My first cup of joe in it....cafe veinna by Maxwell House International cafe...YUM.
