What's It Wednesday #82
I come from a very long line of tea drinkers. With being a tea-aholic comes the teapot obsession. With family coming in town, it's the perfect time to serve tea from a cutie.
Many of us have joined the collectors and connoisseurs from around the world who have been collecting blue-and-white porcelain since the Ming Dynasty. So when I saw this little guy in a shop I of course could not leave him there.
Fast forward to the 20th century and you find this lovely whimsical teapot designed by the acclaimed Paul Cardew. Paul is known for his amazing Disney teapots.
Paul Cardew is also known as the foremost designer of collectible English Teapots in the world. When you remove the teapot top you can see where you pour the hot water.
This rare teapot is an old stove that displays a variety of blue and white miniature pots and tea kettles. The fact that they are blue and whites was the perfect fit in my collection of blue and whites. The little mitten is my favorite part of the teapot.
Have a "Tea-rific" summer!!!
