Toxic Teacup And Saucer - You Have Been Poisoned
$24.95
Description
Sip carefully.
Historically renowned as the "Black Widow", Mary Ann Cotton spooned arsenic into the tea of three unsuspecting husbands and two lovers. Who, after all, would suspect a nurse? And a quite handsome one at that?
Her affinity for insurance premiums exceeded any longings for a soulmate.
Her true tale is as chilling as the chamomile that sits for hours on a January day.
Upon several sips, the foreboding message "You have been poisoned." is visible through the amber brew thereby raising eyebrows as to ones pending fate. An opulent European china pattern cannot distract from such grave concerns.

This cup is an absolute delight. Beautiful, heavy, solid, feels amazing in your hand and looks fantastic on the shelf, and, of course, the message is wickedly good fun. Highly recommended!

I'm poisoning my friends
I LOVE this teacup set. It is large enough to use as coffee cups. I serve after dinner coffee and my friends get a laugh when they come to the bottom message. I really wish you had matching dessert plates so I can use them to serve a snack when someone just drops in for a visit.
