How fun is this guy?  I found him in an antique / thrift store in Faribault when I went to visit my friend, Audrey, who writes at Minnesota Prairie Roots. She will have to leave the name of the shop in the comment section since I am forgetting what the name was and don’t have my folder with me that has it written down. (Thanks, Audrey).

I just love the detail on his face and the way his head pops right off to fill!  I have not tried to make a pot in him but I suspect he will not pour well judging from the location of the spout.

Doesn’t it seem like the spout is on the wrong side ??  Shouldn’t it be more on the bottom of his paw?   I think hot tea coming out would end up all over the place along with his head which would probably pop right off.  A recipe for disaster in my book but he is awfully fun despite his lack of function.

Relationship advice from my mom: when you need to have a ‘talk’ with your significant other- sit down across from each other at the table, hold hands, look into each other’s eyes, and no matter what you say to each other or how you feel about what the other has said, don’t let go. And since you’re sitting down anyway, I say make a pot of tea and share that as well.  Anonymous
