Shamrock China on the Tea Table

My tea table is set for March with a few of my shamrock patterned
English Bone China teacup trios and decorations.
I learned years ago in an antique shop in Chipping Campden, England a 
teacup trio is a teacup, saucer, and a dessert plate. 
The dessert plates in England are often very small, just a bit larger than the saucer.
I prefer the 8.5 inch luncheon plate for serving afternoon tea.
On the table, in the front of this photo is a vintage Ansley, Est. 1775.
The small cream and sugar are the same Ansley pattern.
This one is a Royal Patrician and the teapot matches.
This teacup trio is Royal Albert Shamrock. 
This teacup trio is a Regency. 
The napkins are by Longaberger from years ago. 
This tea table will be changed to my Belleek china purchased in Ireland
for a virtual St. Patrick's Day tea with local friends.
