Who doesn’t love an animal themed teapot? Today’s teapot features an Etsy find and is a Japanese Relco handprinted bulldog teapot. These were quite popular in the 1940’s so I imagine that is most likely the time frame of this pot as well.
The lid has a little bit of a crack in it and the paint is rubbed off in various parts of the teapot but just look at the expression on this face. I absolutely love it.
I think I love this teapot with all of its flaws and imperfections. It has character and character I hear is a good thing to have.

Oh I totally get that and your dog is adorable!!!! Simply adorable.
Thanks. We think so too. We are trying not to spoil her. XO
I love your poster finish about tea being the solution to all problems. Very Zen.
I need a little calm in my life—hence the little poster quote. Have a peaceful day, Bernadette!

Yeah, definitely my least favorite of all the teapots you’ve featured here. “Character” fits.
I love me some dogs, but I’ll admit that this one looks kinda mean!
He does look a little intimidating, doesn’t he? Nothing like your sweet Nike!
Awww, this one is adorable for it’s character. I knew these two bulldogs once who were the sweetest dogs ever.
I do love bulldogs and even though this one looks a bit gruff I bet he would be a sweetie to pour tea from.
I love bulldogs too.
I always thought Micah would get one but instead a Corgi won his heart.
Looking at that face in the morning would give anyone courage enough to start the day! Bulldog to the rescue!
I think you are right! Don’t you love it? It is a bit scary but fun at the same time. Thanks for stopping by, Christi!
How cute is that?!
A bulldog and tea fun and creative combination! I am drinking buckets of iced tea during the dog days of summer.
I am right there with you, Katybeth. Tea of the iced variety is key to my summer .
That is one unusual teapot. I’ve never seen anything like it. Your tea solution sounds good to me.
That teapot is wicked cool! I heart Japanese art.
