Sounds like you had a nice Easter weekend, Pearl. The weather here was very nice, hope it was where you were too. The tea set is very pretty. I'd be afraid of breaking something like that in using or trying to clean it.
Sorry if asking the obvious, but is a half set a tea for two instead of four cups? Curious as to what the tower like piece on the tray to the right of the picture? I'm about a prong-less fork when it comes to tea etiquette. I just know ya drink it and I like it. Might not last very long at one of Edie's gatherings, hehe.

I have been chasing down some unusual teapots by a designer called Lorna Bailey they are quirky in the style of Clarice Cliff but are a less costly investment to hopefully cash in on at some point. Here are a couple of examples

Captain, you could do like Auntie Wainwright when she breaks a tea pot. Glue the spout or handle on a different side and call it avante garde art. Forget what episode that was in which she put the art sign next to the damaged pot. Yours can be via Captain Clutterbuck's Treasure Cove that should really increase the value!
The pics you posted do look kinda neat.

Pearl,
If you put Lorna Bailey in google and select images you will see the full range of her teapots. They are often on sale on Ebay some are a little more expensive because of their rarity value but some are reasonably priced compared to what you'd pay for Clarice Cliff .
