Teapots come in all shapes and sizes. They also come in a variety of materials and I must admit that I have a fondness of pottery teapots that are almost always unique and individual in their style. I shared this particular teapot so long ago that I can’t even find it in my archives so I guess it is time to reshare.
Chris got me this one at the now closed Landmark Galleries in Mooresville, North Carolina. “Cotton” Ketchie and his wife Vicki ran a wonderful gallery and one of the things that he loved to collect included pottery teapots. This set was one that Chris bought me as a surprise for a birthday and it has such a unique look.
The pottery is marked Mangum and I believe it is from this pottery place based in Weaverville, North Carolina. They have a unique style and their work is so beautiful.
There is something about the pottery teapots that just fit in well with our mountain house I think. I have 5 displayed on our mantel and this one is stuck in a little tea chest now so I think I might need to rotate it out and place it on the mantle now. I know it was picked out with love and it makes me smile when I look at it.

Leave a commentOh em gee. I love these. I’ve been looking for a pottery teapot for a while now. I’d love one to match my favorite mugs but as yet have not been successful. I’m going to look up these potters and see if I can order one. Yay. Thanks for sharing! 😊
They are so talented and there is just something about a pottery teapot and cups. Hope you find something!
This is an awesome pottery teapot. I love the big handle. My daughter makes something similar but of course the great thing about pottery teapots is that no two are alike. This one needs to be displayed!!
One of these days I am going to get one of your daughter’s creations. I love looking at her site.
Susi, I hope it is OK to mention that my daughter is a potter and ships all over the world. Check out her website and see if there is anything that catches your eye. She is always making new things too. http://www.madmudslinger.com
It picks up the colors in the lake right now. It could become an abstract painting.
By far one of my favorites among the many you’ve featured here.
Chris has very good taste in teapots too, just like his wife, This set is lovely and I can see how it would easily fit in a mountain home.
Very unique and that makes it special.
