Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary.
How about a beautifully blue patterned teapot by Duchess of England? I absolutely love this pretty delicate pot and plan to make many pots of tea in it this winter. Which may be next week. Bundle up!
“We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven’t had any tea for a week…
The bottom is out of the Universe.”
― Rudyard Kipling, The Collected Poems of Rudyard Kipling

I’d rather have hot chocolate with marshmallows than tea myself. Very attractive teapot though!
Hot chocolate is a great choice, too!
I love this teapot. That pattern would make a pretty cake too 🙂
Indeed it would!!!!
This one seems very elegant for some reason. Maybe the word Duchess is playing with my subconscious…
Maybe that is it!!! It is a really sweet one and makes me feel all fancy when I use it!
What a sweet teapot. For whatever reason, all I am thinking is yellow, how well the black and white would pair with yellow. I know. I know. Sometimes my mind wanders.
Well it is actually a dark blue—the photos were taken in not so great lighting so it looks darker than it actually is. But I love navy and yellow—someday I am going to have a beach house with lovely yellows and blues …..someday. 🙂
I love this one. I think, I mentioned before that I love the blue on white. Enjoy your tea!!!
I love it, too! I think blue is my favorite color next to red!
Love the colors and classic feel. Winter next week? What’s going on?
Well actually about 15 miles from our house in Iowa it is snowing now…….an inch piled up already. Sigh.
Snow! Are the leaves off the trees yet? They aren’t here.
Nope—our trees are fully clothed still. Or they were a week ago….
Lovely and functional, too! What a deal.
Yep! It is lovely indeed.
Very pretty. Usually you only see blue in the Delph.
Thanks, Haralee! It is even prettier in person!
I adore this one, Beth Ann. I think I have teapot envy. Hope your week is going well.
Hugs from Ecuador,

Thanks, Kathy! It is pretty sweet! Great week— hope you are well!
Love the blue and white. gorgeous pattern.
I should take a pic of my Robin Hood teapot for you one day. It’s really fun – I have a tea canister in the same theme too. Would love to find more in the series.
Robin Hood teapot??? You have to share with me!!! I can’t imagine what it looks like!!!
This is a very elegant teapot. Perfect for tea parties with girlfriends. Love the Rudyard Kipling poem. Mr. Kipling visited my home town, Medicine Hat, and mentioned how much he liked it. He put our small town on the map.There is even a Kipling Street.
Wow–what a great little piece of history your town has now!!! I did love that little poem by him. 🙂
what can I say but that it is a very pretty teapot.
Thank you!
Is it odd that on Tuesdays I wake up singing I’m a little tea pot?
No ! That makes me smile!!! Some of my son’s friends randomly send me teapot pictures on Tuesdays so I guess it is my niche. 🙂
Nice teapot … it’s black and white motif gives a sense of classic
Another pretty teapot! Hope you aren’t snowed in already!
Nope—we haven’t’ gotten any yet!!! Thank goodness!
