Seeing Pink on Teapot Tuesday

14 Comments/ 221/ 1

It’s Tuesday which means it is time for another teapot on It’s Just Life.  Today’s teapot is a nice sturdy Hall teapot that I found at the ReStore here in Brevard awhile back.  It is in beautiful condition and hardly seems like it has been used at all.

I have told you before that thrift shops are always a great place to find teapots and this is one of several that I have found locally at the Habitat ReStore.  The price couldn’t be beat ($6) and it will be right at home with my other Hall teapots.

I am not a big collector of pink items but this one with the Fleur-de-lis with its standard 3 petals bound together at the bottom to create a lily is very charming.

Hall teapots are quite popular and are plentiful in many styles and colors.  I always smile when I find one and normally can identify one without turning it over to see the stamp or mark.

The bonus in this one is the built in strainer in the spout that enables the tea leaves to stay in the pot when the tea is brewed and poured out.  No need for an infuser or tea ball. 

This classy little teapot is perfect for serving a cuppa to friends and pretty enough to use every day.




Creme Earl Grey

It is fragrant in here,
behind the diamond-shaped
glass, under the white tin
cover, spiraled to finality
(at least for now). Black leaves
nestle curls into curls,
brush against lavender
and pearlescent petals, suspended
until a hand brings water
and vanilla-hungry air.

    This teapot is adorable. I love teapots but I have no room for a collection. I love the dusty rose color with the gold trim. So sweet. Ran across your blog on Twitter. Im really enjoying it! Come visit sometime.

      Thanks for stopping by, Lisa! I love meeting new folks and I will stop by to say hi on your blog! I have a lot of teapots stored…let’s just say my collection is growing beyond my capacity but that’s okay! Just means I can rotate them in and out! Come back anytime!

    It’s the fleur-de-lis that make this sturdy teapot so elegant. I think the tea should be served with a lovely eclaire. OK, now I’m hungry.

    Love pink! Have you been in the antique store in Cedar Mountain next to Rob Travis’s old gallery? You might want to go in there sometime…….

    Dotting the eyes and crossing those teas! I just read a book called Real Food Fake Food and it has a whole section devoted to tea… You might find it interesting!
