When November moves in, I think of turkeys and browns along with the autumn oranges and scarletts. I think finding brown dishes at a reasonable price is difficutl right now because I was told that brown is an "in" decorator color after being shunned for long while. These two cups I picked up at a flea market last year.
These browns blend with two brown peacock mugs and plate that I picked up a couple of years ago in Wisconsin. They also go well with a Brown Betty tea pot and the brown and white plates my mother-in-law recently gave me from her own hutch.
Two other new cups were picked up at a flea market. These blue and whites are not my favorite Blue Willow pattern nor are they antiques. But I liked them, thought they will blend well, and I intend to use them this winter for broths and light soups to go with sandwiches.

Wow! These browns are beautiful and so appropriate for the season.
These are gorgeous! Brown transferware is my new favorite. Love the one with the birds. So beautiful.

beautiful teacups! great collection of brown transferware which quite hard to get!
I especially like the brown peacock cups! Brown is not a favorite shade of mine for decorating, but I am coming to appreciate the various shades of brown in textiles and china. Your post certainly helped, I love these!
I like your historical Meakin cup and saucer and the lovely peacock mugs and plate. I'll have to look up the Fair Winds pattern - it sounds intersting.
Your Blue Willow plate is also nice - I have a set of Churchill Willow ware in pink.
Beautiful blues and browns! The peacock set is really beautiful. It looks like you have plenty for the season.
Thank you so much for sharing your tea cups with us today.
Hugs,

I was always a pastel girl -till I moved into the late autumn of my years and now I am finding a need for more balance and warmer colors.
I love your brown transferware. and the peacock is beautiful.
