What's It Wednesday #78
It was a bright sunny Saturday and I was ready for my cup of tea.
I started flipping through the beautiful pages of the latest Victoria Classic Cottage magazine.
I found this wonderful section of blue and white porcelains on display. I glanced down at the bottom right picture and noticed this whimsical teapot.
There she was, my teapot. The very teapot I was serving tea from on that very day. I thought "So that is what she looks like in print. Someone else out there likes whimsical teapots". This teapot is actually a tame one compared to many I have seen throughout the years. Many of them are over the top whimsical, but quite beautiful.
My love for the teapot began with my collection of blue and white miniature porcelain pieces. As you can see, I love to place them in small birdcages. The small birdcages are actually jewelry cages I picked up at the Home Goods Store.
The tea set on top of the lid of the teapot was ideal, especially for the whimsical side of me.
Now this has to be the best teapot memory, the day I saw my teapot in one of my favorite magazines.
Do you have a favorite teapot moment?

Paul Cardew is also known as the foremost designer of collectible English Teapots in the world. When you remove the teapot top you can see where you pour the hot water.
This rare teapot is an old stove that displays a variety of blue and white miniature pots and tea kettles. The fact that they are blue and whites was the perfect fit in my collection of blue and whites. The little mitten is my favorite part of the teapot.
