My Teapots


This is my teapot collection so far.

   The first one is my favourite, a gift from my step-mother, it's Meito China (Hand Painted - Made in Japan) and very delicate. I especially love that you can actually feel the texture of the paint!

   The blue one is the first teapot I ever bought myself. It's functional and I like light blue. Poor thing is my go-to pot and so is rather banged up (which you can't see here as I took the image above from the web).

   The owl I got from my sister-in-law and have not yet had the chance to use it, but I love the ridiculousness of it and have sworn to serve many of my friends tea from it once the weather has cooled.

   The black and green one is a lovely cheap pot I found in China Town. I particularly like the handle and the crackled glaze.

    And last but not least is a glass teapot for blooming teas given to me by friends. It works well with blooming teas, but the strainer is a disaster with loose leaf.

I'll update as my collection grows!
