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.

Leave a commentI 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?
Nice addition to your collection! I agree with Darlene, it has a simple elegance.
It does! And it pours so well!
I love this one! What’s the patterned surface it’s sitting on?
Oh it is a piece of vinyl for photography! 🙂
I love this teapot! And that it’s functional too. The flower reminds me of what might be on a fancy wedding cake.
It looks exactly like a wedding cake flower!!!
I like the elegant simplicity of this teapot. And yeah to bargains. I love thrift stores.
You and I could hang out in thrift stores all day, couldn’t we? So many fun things to find!
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.
Simple and beautiful. I love it!
It was a surprise find under the leaves. 🙂
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.
