The last time you saw this tea pot it had a large rain spider inside it. Here is a more sedate look at this lovely teapot given to me by my eldest granddaughters.
Tea and teapots make very welcome gifts for this Granny: they last a long time and carry with them the memories of the givers. This beautifully shaped teapot holds enough for three cups of tea.
Most importantly, the spout pours well – no messy drips and the handle is easy to grip.
This is the underside – a mystery to me.
I love tea!! Beautiful teapot!

It is particularly good to use with loose leaf tea – my favourite form of tea, although not readily available here.

I am also fond of blue and white. The colour combination is fresh and invitingly calm

Thank you, Walter. I doubt if it is very old at all, but it is pretty and has a timeless look about it.

Lovely. I never use a teapot these days and it’s a bit of a shame as some of them are so pretty!

Teapots are really for sharing – and for loose leaf tea. My modest collection has a story behind each pot, which makes them rather fun to use.

I so agree about using a teapot and loose-leaf tea! And this is a beautiful teapot.

Thank you very much. In my experience, loose-leaf tea has a fuller, rounder flavour than we get from the finely cut leaves in a bag.

I think so too. I am very conservative when it comes to tea. I drink only conventional black tea and also, less often, white tea – both without milk and sugar. Where I am, white tea is only available in teabags but I see loose-leaf white tea can be ordered online from specialist tea suppliers elsewhere in the country.
I used to drink rooibos but kind of went off it over time. I sometimes think I should make some chai (homemade brew) but have not got around to that yet. I am not crazy about the milkiness but its nice once in a while – for example, after a meal at a local North Indian restaurant – but we have not eaten out since the pandemic arrived …
