    “ARE YOU CLEAN ON THE INSIDE?” Here in my hand I hold this pretty china teacup. According to the seal at the bottom of this teacup it was handcrafted in Bavaria Germany, by a company called Jomann Haviland. It has a small crown as a seal, which I assume is the manufacturer’s logo. The outside ...read more
