Having just been on a vacation to Lake Erie I am feeling especially aquatic.  This adorable teapot is one from the Cardew line and I love the whimsical look of it.  Who wouldn’t be happy with a cup of tea poured from this pot?

Even the lid of the teapot is decorated with a cute crab and a series of nautical designs.

This Sea Shells on the Sea Shore teapot is definitely a favorite in my collection.

Enjoy your day, my friends.  Have a cup of tea and cheer on the sunny days of summer.

“What part of confidante has that poor teapot played ever since the kindly plant was introduced among us! Why myriads of women have cried over it, to be sure! […] Nature meant very kindly by women when she made the tea plant; and with a little thought, what series of pictures and groups of the fancy may conjure up and assemble round the teapot and cup.”
