I was just posting some photos on my blog about a tea we had last weeked. Some of the tea cups used at the tea are from a family collection, some I remember from childhood. I remember mom had a special wall rack that the cups hung from and the saucers were placed on edge on a grooved shelf above the matching cup. The rack was three shelves high and probably 4 or 5 cups wide.

Heavens yes! When I had my antiques shop, I was amazed at the number I sold...Great fun to trot out and use the way you did. My Grandmother used to collect them & as a little girl I'd get to pick one out to use for tea parties with her - made for some great memories. Sadly, I have no idea where her collection went, but I always think of her when someone pours me tea in a pretty cup.

My niece has the collection. She really appreciates and loves them, I'm happy she has them.

I don't remember any like that. They sound like they'd be beautiful.

Yes, I have a friend in Cleveland who has an extensive collection of antique European teacups and saucers, mostly acquired through family.

Thank you boron. The tea was very nice. My niece did a great job. The caterer flaked out on her and she had to make tea sandwiches for fifty plus with only a few days notice.
Yes, the memories were great.
