Teapot Tuesday—Seaside Style

40 Comments/ 3826/ 0

Doesn’t it amaze you at how many different variations of teapots there are?  I am sure if you never really looked for teapots you would have no idea but for me it is like a treasure hunt every time I am in a store with options. This cutie by one of my new favorites (Cardew Designs) reminds me of warmer days and sunny beaches.  Not a bad image to have when the winter chill is starting to blow in.  P1150742

“What part of confidante has that poor teapot played ever since the kindly plant was introduced among us! Why myriads of women have cried over it, to be sure! […] Nature meant very kindly by women when she made the tea plant; and with a little thought, what series of pictures and groups of the fancy may conjure up and assemble round the teapot and cup.”
― William Makepeace Thackeray, The History of Pendennis: His Fortunes & Misfortunes, His Friends & His Greatest Enemy

    Yes, who knew there could be so many different kinds. I love the colors on this one, especially. And who doesn’t love the beach? Hope it’s not too cold today in your neck of Iowa.

    Hugs from Ecuador,

    A perfect bold visual for this chilly time of year when we all need jolts of color to brighten our days. Or at least those of us who live in a climate like Minnesota and Iowa.

    Your blog has taught me one thing, I know nothing about teapots and how the possibilities are endless. Look forward to Tuesdays to see a new one.

    Hello, I just recently signed up with your blog. I found you through your coaster post. I have to say that I really like teapot Tuesday. I love teapots and cups and saucers. I only have one teapot due to storage issues, but love to look and admire. So Thank You! However, I would like to know how you store or show yours off? Enjoying your writings!

      Kim–thank you so much for the follow!!! And for the nice comment!!! That means a lot to me! I have a couple of hutches and china cabinets where they are stored but they have grown beyond those now. I have some on bookcases and even some in the bathrooms. 🙂 Theme ones, of course. I keep adding to the collection and I am going to have to start getting creative on where to put them. Just last night my husband made a comment that they were everywhere so I may need to look at some more options. Thanks again.!

    that would have been lovely to have while I was resting my sore back by the fireplace and having my tea today.
    And you are right! Ever since I started reading your teapot posts, I really notice them everywhere now. Our local antique stores have some great ones.

    Sitting on a deck at Cape Cod in my beach wood chair, my legs covered in grandma’s afgan, I pour myself a cuppa from my whimsical nautical tea pot and smile as I watch the dolphins frolic in the ocean….(she wishes….)

    Cute! I was redecorating today – reorganizing, I guess – and SO DID NOT want to put my red w/white polka dots tea pot up too high so that I’ll actually USE it…but I had to and the truth is, I can always reach it down if I have to! 🙂
