Hi, I'm Alessandra, welcome to my world!

“A cup of tea” was born from my passion for everything English. My bond with England is deep and rooted in time: years ago I had the opportunity to live in London for a year and since then it has become my second home, my love for it has not only not faded, but has strengthened with the passing of time.

Always fascinated by British style, I decided to combine this passion with my work. “A Cup of Tea” is my corner of England in Italy, where you can find a selection of “preloved” objects (second-hand, therefore already loved by someone else), coming exclusively from the United Kingdom. I personally go to the UK several times a year, to choose new vintage or antique treasures (pottery, Sheffield, pins) to offer you. I carefully select unique pieces with a story to tell: I am committed to studying the brands, the production period and the style, to offer you only the best of what I have discovered in these places that I love so much.

I like to define myself as a “preloved hunter”: if you are looking for a particular object or have something specific in mind, do not hesitate to contact me by clicking on the "Search for me" section. I will be happy to take action to search and find it for you.

Thank you for discovering my world.

Alexandra
