About Us and How The English Teacup Shop Came to Be
The Romance of the Sea has long been a part of Robin Allan Jones’ life—well, the U. Back in his days as a young squid, he visited exotic ports of call, such as Hong Kong, Taipei, and Sydney, and in such places he sometimes discovered bargains in jade, gold, and fine wood carving, which he would bring back to delighted friends in The States. But
the call of the exotic would beckon him back across the ocean, and it got so he started actually volunteering for sea duty. That was just the start of a lifelong exploration. Denise Marie Crawford has always had a fascination for fine, delicate exotic things, for china and turquoise, spices, and silks;
not just surrounding herself with them but intimately knowing their history as well. She brings this savvy affection plus a keen eye to her rummaging, and the result is an argosy of the exquisite. In their search for the world’s treasures, Denise and Robin found each other one day some years ago;
And now, in keeping with the traditions of adventurers of past ages, they have created a sumptuous vision of paradise just within reach: The English Teacup Shop.
