The Noritake tea cups, with their two tones,  are the leading lights in this static choreography of cups and saucers.  It only needs a teapot to sport forth with tea, the coffee pot to pour and the perfect state of afternoon tea will descend. Th heart shaped iced cake, below was a nougatine ,  with a filling of sweet ricotta ,  the ganache filled biscuits were almond , the little ones below glazed with coffee icing and decorated with hazelnut praline.  Yes, it's all eaten now, except of course, for the china and embroidered nappery.
