Tara: It is marketed here in the US as Devon Double Cream and comes that way right out of the jar. It is more generically known as “clotted cream”. It used to be only available in the US at upscale or speciality grocers. But now it is pretty easy to find at most grocery stores at least in metro areas.
It is really amazing. It is thick and rich and teetering between butter and whipped cream.
Oh, the pictures made me want to crawl through the screen! Pardon my random question, but could you please tell us what pattern your dishes are? Dishes are my second love…behind books, of course. Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful pics. Susan in TX
Susan: We don't have full place settings of these four. We have cups, saucers and dessert plates. Although I think in at least one case we had to get a salad plate instead so the size would be similar to the others.
Do tell me, what is that creamy stuff? Whipped cream? If so, it has so much more 'oomph' than mine ever does!

A Cream Tea at its best! These pictures make me hungry and envious in the best sort of way.
