This is a cute mottoware, motto ware or Devon ware teacup and saucer from Royal Watcombe Torquay, Devon England. The cup and saucer set is a traditional cottage design with the name Tiree and the motto A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss. The cup measures 2.75 inches high and the saucer is 5 inches in diameter. The set dates to 1958-1962. It is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. There is a bit of crazing consistent with age. A wonderful set.

It is usually of red clay decorated with bright glazes, cottages and mottos or sayings that run the gamut from proverbs and sound advice to nearly outrageous.
