Presidential Teapot – Teapot Tuesday

17 Comments/ 79/ 1

A presidential teapot?  Why, of course!!!  It kind of fits in with my recent brush with fame with former Vice President Joe Biden. Who doesn’t want to have tea with the presidents?  Made in 1966 this teapot features the presidents up until that date. I guess I will have to look for one that is more recent to add to my collection.

Who wouldn’t want to have tea with the Presidents watching over them?   I am telling you — there is a teapot for everyone out there if you just look.


“She raised her hand to cut me off. “I am aware of your epistolary flirtation. Which is all well and good–as long as it’s well and good. Before I ask you some questions, perhaps you would like some tea?”

“That would depend on what kind of tea you were offering.”

“So diffident! Suppose it was Earl Grey.”

I shook my head. “Tastes like pencil shavings.”

“Lady Grey.”

“I don’t drink beverages named after beheaded monarchs. It seems so tacky.”

“Chamomile?”

“Might as well sip butterfly wings.”

“Green tea?”

“You can’t be serious.”

The old woman nodded her approval. “I wasn’t.”

“Because you know when a cow chews grass? And he or she chews and chews and chews? Well, green tea tastes like French-kissing that cow after it’s done chewing all that grass.”

“Would you like some mint tea?”

“Only under duress.”

“English breakfast.”

I clapped my hands. “Now you’re talking!”

    The excerpt is just too funny. I drink all kinds of tea and prefer green, chamomile, herbal, red tea etc whereas hubby only drinks regular English tea and wouldn’t even consider anything else. The President teapot is interesting and educational!

      Indeed! It is quiz time—how many presidents can you recite? I would fail badly at that but if I had this teapot maybe not so badly. 🙂
