Hard to find set of SIX matching Royal Tara Book of Kells Monogram ‘A' Irish Coffee Cups! Selling as a set of 6.

Lovely set of six fine bone china footed Irish coffee cups by Royal Tara. The designs are from the Book of Kells. Same design on each, which is a stylized zoomorphic ‘A' monogram.

The mugs are in excellent condition. It appears that they have only ever been displayed.

The handles are in the shape of an Irish Harp, a well know symbol of Ireland. Gold around the top and bottom rims. A knotted Celtic design swirls around the top circumference. The same creature that decorates the lower part of the A also decorates the circumference.

The graphics are nice and bright.

Each mug holds 6 ounces comfortably and measures 4-1/4 inches tall and 2-1/2 inches in diameter across the top, not including handle.

Marked on the bottom: Royal Tara ~ TARA HALL ~ FINE BONE CHINA ~ MADE IN GALWAY ~ IRELAND

Gift worthy! Perfect for an engagement or wedding gift!



~~ Compulsory Off-Site Ad Program ~~

Etsy forced its sellers into a costly COMPULSORY Offsite Ad program when a threshold revenue is achieved. First, they forced us into offering Free Shipping by changing their search engine optimization (SEO) to favor listings with free shipping. So, in Etsy's hotsell threshold calculation, the “revenue” includes these shipping costs that we sellers sometimes cover. Etsy cherry-picks the 12-month window for inclusion in the program. My shop was swept into this predatory program during the height of Covid-19 Lockdown when online sales skyrocketed. We can never get out of this program, even when our revenue falls back to normal. Please, always go directly to etsy.com to make a purchase if you see something you like in an off-site ad – don't click on it! I understand that your click-through link stays active for a month. Thank you! (Offsite Ads are located on Social Media apps (FB, IG, etc) and search engine results on google/yahoo/etc.)

Photos constitute part of the product description. I strive to provide clear photos with close ups when applicable. Please view photos carefully and take advantage of Etsy's photo zoom function (hover cursor over photo to show magnifying glass icon, then click).

~~Vintage~~

Unless otherwise stated, the listed item comes to me via Estate Sales or Charity Shops. I strive to give you accurate, complete descriptions. I will note any damage, smells, etc. that I find. Vintage items and clothing are pre-owned; so expect some wear/usage.

Also, I cannot know the history of the item and whether it has come in contact with pets, smoke, etc. However, my home is smoke-free and pet-free.

All that said, I wouldn't sell something to you if I wouldn't have it for myself. See my 5-star feedback and purchase with confidence.

~~ Shipping ~~

If you live in the Denver Metro area, and would like to pay in person and pickup, please convo me to set up a custom listing for you.

Etsy now requires items of $10 or more to be mailed with tracking. Therefore, even items such as cross stitch charts and pattern leaflets which could qualify for First Class letter mail for about $1.50 (no tracking) will need to be shipped with tracking (~$4). This isn't shop owners' requirements; it is Etsy's.

Whenever possible, I will combine shipping to save costs. I've guesstimated the shipping costs. Any overage of $1+ will be refunded after the parcel has been shipped.

If you are using an overseas shipping consolidator, your purchase is only guaranteed to reach the domestic US address provided in your order details. Your purchase is an acceptance of this condition.

Reuse is the most sincere form of recycling. Therefore, when available, you will receive your item in pre-used packaging. Please consider reusing again.

~~ Tips for Searching Etsy ~~

Etsy doesn't make it easy to find what you are looking for. Follow these tips to help narrow down your search quickly.

1.Enter specific keywords in the search box.
2.Start with “vintage” if you are searching for something vintage.
3.Change the default SORT from ‘relevancy' to any other option. This will eliminate a lot of useless listings.
4.If your search hasn't found anything, Etsy will still give you a bunch of listings, but also tell you, very inconspicuously that your search “had no results” in the upper left corner of the page (in a web browser).
