How to Hold a Cup and Saucer?
Since January is National Hot Tea Month I thought it would be fun to write about the correct way to hold a cup and saucer. There is a proper way to hold a cup and saucer. Here are a few tips to assist you when being served hot tea in holding the cup and saucer correctly.
How to Hold A Cup and Saucer?
~ Pick up the cup and saucer together.
~ You should hold the saucer in one hand and the cup in the other.
~ The best way to hold to cup is to slip your index finger through the handle, up to almost the first knuckle, then balance and secure the cup by placing your thumb on the top of the handle and allowing the bottom of the handle to rest on your middle finger.
~ The ring finger and pinkie finger should rest by curving back to the wrist.
~ Your should NOT extend your pinkie finger in direct contrast to popular opinion.
It is a lot of fun to teach children the correct way to hold cup and saucers. You can simple brew a pot of tea and enjoy serving them and showing them the proper technique needed for drinking tea. I did this many years ago with my God children. I gave them a special cup and saucer for the "event" which they still use and cherish to this day. Our monogrammed cup and saucers are perfect for this type of activity with children. Trends come and go in life; good manners last a life time and that is the main purpose of teaching children how to use a cup and saucer.
