Alas, I have no place to put mine, either! They're carefully wrapped in old
dish clothes and stored in a sectioned box (liquor boxes are great for
things like this!). I do have one I use for tea (on the rare occasions I
drink it). It was one my grandmother unwittingly duplicated... or was it
intentional? It's painted with a purple thistle, like heather. And she was
from Scotland
