Teapots come in all shapes and sizes and if you remember this fishy teapot that I posted several years ago you have a great memory. I love the whimsical teapots that I have found in my travels and on various on line sites but I have to admit that this fishing creel one is one of my favorites.
I actually have this one on display in one of the bookcases in the living room. I think with a fisherman husband I felt that I needed to have that one front and center and since it is a fun one it makes me happy to sit on the couch and see those little fishy faces looking at me.
How would you like a cup of lovely tea poured from this fish mouth? I can’t imagine that any problem would not go away if you had a cup of tea from this pot. Take the top off and fill her up with hot water and tea and you have a fabulous brew.Thanks for popping over today and sharing some tea love with me. Don’t forget to Comment for a Cause .
The waters in the rebel bay
Have kept the tea leaf savor
Our old north-enders in the their spray
Still taste a Hyson flavor
And freedom’s teacup still overflows with ever-fresh libations
To cheat of slumber all her foes
And cheer the wakening nations!
-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Ballad of the Boston Tea Party

Leave a commentThough I’m not a tea pot collector I do have one that is shaped like a cat. It was given to me as a wedding gift 26 years ago and it sits in a place of honor in a glass fronted cabinet. You’ve reminded me to notice it more so that it can do it’s job of making me smile.
I don´t remember this one. It must have been before we connected. (before Andy the Armadillo). I love it! How this would impress your angler guests.
I’d love a cup of tea poured from a fishy mouth.
It might smell a little…just saying.
I think this is one of the most unusual ones you’ve shown.
I think I am going to feature my more whimsical ones over the next few weeks. I am pretty much on repeats now but I guess that is to be expected after doing these since 2011……
I actually thought the basket part was a real basket! I love this!
Thanks, Marci. I love how real it looks too.
I have an aunt and uncle that would love this one!!
Fisher people I assume?
Haha that teapot cracks me up! Happy spring! 🙂
Glad it made you laugh. It is a goodie!
My dad would love this one! Not sure how mom would feel since she prefers hummingbirds. ha.
It is definitely a guy teapot, isn’t it?
I love it; it has soo much action going on with the fish coing out of the pot! Ha, too cute.
Thanks, Gayle. I love this one.
I don’t remember this, must have been before my time visiting. That is adorable.
Thanks! It is a cute one for sure.
