Teapot Tuesday

Isn’t she lovely?  A pretty red German teapot just aching to be filled with some lovely hot tea.   I found this beauty on Ebay awhile back and fell in love with it.   Nothing makes me smile wider than a red teapot.  Well—maybe Mr. Diamond.

A slightly sticky label tells me this gem is a German teapot.

      Thanks, Pix!!! It is a nice sturdy one, too. Not one of those wimpy delicate ones—it can take a strong pot of tea!

    Lovely! I used to collect teapots. I sometimes wish I hadn’t given them all away.

    She’s very lovely. In the photo the knob on the top looks like a bird with the tip of the leaf just barely peering through to make a beak.

    Beth Ann, this is such a happy-looking teapot! Love the red color, and it definitely looks big enough for more than one cup. Because who can drink just one??

    So cheery. And, yes, I bet Mr. Diamond makes you smile a whole lot more than any red teapot, or any teapot.

    My family background is German and I seem to fall for anything German, so I am so in love with this cheerful teapot. It would be perfect for the Gut’s Nachtle tea I bought in Passau Germany. I also love the quote. (Hubby is not German but tells me he falls for anything German as well, lucky me!)

    This is a teapot I would be happy to display! I have a Brown Betty teapot (how boring, but it does the job) so it’s not the kind for displaying!

      Brown Betty Teapots are a staple and a very important type to have because they are just reliable. No fuss.
