'Wanna See' Wednesday..

Yes......You 'wanna see' some of my vintage teapots??? ONLY for my good blogger buddies would I go digging around in the storage
house to see what I had to show. I really couldn't remember what I had, but I found a few. This one above I bought from a fellow
antiquer years ago. He and I would barter and haggle back and forth about each others goodies. I also have the cream and sugar pieces
that go with this. They are cute too!! The stamp on the bottom says 'made in Japan'.

This group is just a hodge podge variety. The tarnished silver plated one sitting up high is from one grandmothers estate, cream and sugar
with this one too. The blue oriental looking one on the left is from the other grandmothers estate, notice the lid missing....as is the case alot of the time. The little bee hive one in front has it's lid gone too. I bought it for .50 cents years ago at a large flea market. The last
one there on the right with the blue leaves has the matching cream and sugar to go along with it as well. All of these say 'made in Japan'
.
I really do like this Wood's Ware/Jasmine made in England. I have a lot of pieces with this. Now which storage tub they are packed away
in I'm not quite sure.

AND.....OOHHH ....AAAUUUHHHH! This one I REALLY like. I know not everyone will like the gold, but over-all I like the design. Parts
of the finish on this has an iridescent or pearlized look to it. I have the WHOLE set of this. Tableware, teacups, tureens....the whole set. Isn't it just so dainty looking?? The set was made in CZECHOSLOVAKIA and has that stamped on the bottom of each piece.

I certainly hope that you will 'Wanna See' more of my treasures next Wednesday. It's so much more fun to show them and share rather than keeping them all packed away and in storage tubs.

****Notice I displayed all the teapots using fabric and quilts.......just keepin' it legal****

  3. I love teapots too. I have a few. I really liked the first one and the Chechoslovakia one. That last one reminds me of china at a grandma's house for Sunday dinner.

  4. I didn't say in my post, but I think the top one may represent
    'Jack and the Bean Stalk'.....OR if
    you prefer 'Peter Pan'...that's OK too.

  5. Love the teapots - far more interesting than the ones I have kicking around. Mine are mostly used, although I do have one favourite that is ornamental. Yours look like they've been loved and used, the best kind.

    Cheers!

    PS I love pottery that is made in Japan. It has an intersting quality to it.

  12. Ohhh, I just love the green one. I love teapots, also, even though I am not a tea drinker. Well, I am when someone else makes it and we sit down and have a nice, cozy chat.
    Thanks for sharing.

  18. Oooh I LOVE that little guy up at the top. I have some tea pots that were my nana's, as well as some cups that belonged to my great-gran. They mostly just sit in a cabinet, but every once in a while my sister comes over for a tea party. Seriously-2 grown women having a tea party!
    Love that you're 'keeping it legal' too funny!

  19. Teapot love. The first one is my favorite. So unusual. I have a nice collection. No where to put new ones anymore so I roate where they go. It is a fun collection.

  20. Jack and the Beanstalk makes a lot of sense, now that I'm reading the comments and seeing, well, the beanstalk. I thought it was a leprechaun. Must have St. Patrick's Day on the mind. Anyway - it's great! Don't hide it storage!

  23. Thanks for the tea pot party! I think my fave is the Wood's Ware/Jasmine one. Simple elegance, I think! But they're all great and so fun to see. Can't wait to see more of your pretties.
    And I did notice right off that your backgrounds are fabric/quilts. Very artistic! Loved 'em!

  27. I love you teapot from Czechoslovakia. My grandparents came from there around 1900. I wish I could find a set like that. Very beautiful piece of porcelain.
