Thrift Store Find on Teapot Tuesday

16 Comments/ 126/ 0

Thrift stores are some of THE best places to find teapots for my collection.  I have a difficult time paying full price for teapots when there are so many out there that people are donating to thrift stores.

I found this lovely teapot at the St. Phillips Upscale Resale Thrift Store in Brevard where I have donated quite a few items myself.  They had several there the last time I visited but I absolutely loved this double rose teapot. 

It is a heavy teapot, sturdy but delicate at the same time which attracted me to it.  The $7 price tag was another bonus.

I was a little suspicious as to how it would pour as the spout is very slender and skinny but I was pleasantly surprised that it actually pours much better than many of my other teapots.  

It is a definite winner and is a pretty addition to my kitchen counter top right now.  Stop on over for a cuppa.

Tea is quiet and our thirst for tea is never far from our craving for beauty.

    I can see why you like this one. There is a simple elegance about it. When I sold teapots in the gift shop many years ago, customers would request a pouring test before buying the teapot. We would fill it with water and let them pour it. That style of spout was often the best.

      I think a pouring test is very important and this slender spout is the best pouring kind, isn’ t it?

    I love this teapot! And that it’s functional too. The flower reminds me of what might be on a fancy wedding cake.

    Love the teapot. I like that you use your pots and not just for decorations.

      Thanks, Shirley. I don’t use all of them but I do like to alternate between using the favorite ones.

    Pretty! Is it all molded in one piece, or are the petals stuck on (or can you tell?)?

      It is an add on from what I can tell. I can’t imagine how they would have done it all in one piece but I suppose it is possible.
