Went to the National Cathedral last weekend. The stained glass throws beautiful colors on everything, so I had to capture it, if only a little. I only wish I had shot this in RAW.

Another cuttlefish! New England Aquarium, Boston, MA, USA.
Cup and Saucer, Wedgwood, c.1783, Etruria, England, black basalt with ‘encaustic’ painting, Victoria and Albert Museum.
This cup may have been from a djeuner - a small tea or coffee service, made with or without a matching tray. The cost of the hand painted decoration probably restricted the use of such wares to relatively wealthy households. They would have been used at afternoon or after-dinner tea when guests were present, or may have been personal luxuries, used by wealthy individuals when taking tea in private.The cup and saucer are made of black basalt, a type of fine grained stoneware. This is impervious to liquids, although some basalt tea wares were glazed to prevent staining.
