I love a good cup of tea - and I love teapots
These teapots are in a hutch in the kitchen - when I am at the baking island this is my view - it is always cheery
Sweet Bunny teapot - great for
springtime tea parties
Violets and pansies
All the teapots are from thrift shops, antique malls or yard sales - except for the Desert Rose - which came from my Granny - Desert Rose was her everyday dishes for years and years. Many of the teapots were gifts.
I have several tea-for-one sets - this is one of my very favorites
shhhh, don't tell the others that I said so.
I have more teapots than will fit in that one hutch Red Transferware is nice for summer tea

What a wonderful collection JoAnn! I'm a true tea lover so I can appreciate all the different tea pots! Thanks so much for linking up over at Vintage Charm! xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteI love all the teapots they are so cute. And I could never imagine walking to Alaska, I am going to look for that book. Thank you for sharing on Classic Home Link Up.
ReplyDeleteA special tea pot makes a cup of tea into something to be savored. I bag in a cup will never work for me. Love your collection!
ReplyDeleteIf I had room, there are so many things I would love to collect....I love your teapots, and always see so many teacups that I love. I really enjoyed seeing your collection.
ReplyDeleteI love your teapot collection. My favorites are the pansy pot and the violet cream pitcher and sugar bowl. I have always loved pansies and violets, maybe because their bright little faces are the first to pop up even before the snow is completely melted in the spring.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful teapot collection. I have the holly cream and sugar plus a small candy dish that belonged to my mother-in-law. I think the pansy teapot in the last photo is sweet.
ReplyDeleteThe one with violets reminds me of a hot chocolate set I got from my grandmother. - Margy
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing teapot collection! I have always liked the Cattail pattern, but have never come across a single piece while out thrifting. I also ♥ red and white transferware, pattern doesn't matter!
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of the Sears Cattail design.
ReplyDeleteI love those violets and pansies! I have a collection of violet ceramics, sugar and creamers, candlesticks, little dishes, love them.
ReplyDeleteOh I don't think a gal can ever have too many teapots, or teacups for that matter. You have a wonderful collection of teapots, JoAnne. Wishing you a happy day and don't forget to enjoy a cuppa or two; I wonder from which teapot you will pour??
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful collection, JoAnn! I doubt if I could choose a favorite...and so nice that you don't have to. You can enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteIt's all I can do to find a space for the one tea pot I have and that is for Japanese tea. Well, I do have another one that belonged to my great aunt but I am almost afraid to use it. Interestingly, it is Noritake ... a Japanese made set.
ReplyDeleteI would serve you tea if you were here, as I'm sure you would like it.
You have a wonderful and extensive collection of teapots. It would be hard for me to choose a favorite. I do like the floral patterned one (second photo).
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty collection! I love the one on the top right of the shelves which I think is a pineapple - I love pineapples! xx
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say, Happy Valentines! xx
ReplyDeleteLove em, love em. I agree I could never pick my favorite but partial to lilacs. I would love to visit you for tea and bagels.
ReplyDeletewhat a Lovely selection of tea pots, specially the bunny....
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post! Thanks for sharing your extensive teapot collection. You have a wide variety of styles. I especially like your holiday themed ones. (The bunny teapot is so cute and perfect for Easter.) I have fond memories of the Desert Rose pattern as that was my aunt's dish set.
ReplyDeleteAlso it is really nice how you visually displayed them so everyone can enjoy looking at them. Too often they're kept in the back of cupboards.
Enjoy tea time this week!
