I'm a lidless teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
On the top there's something I'm without
But do like Linda of Friendship Tea says and buy me anyway (especially if I'm just $5) and do not doubt!-- Lyrics by Angela McRae, copyright 2009*
*Today's blog post was inspired by Linda J.'s March 6 post titled "Teapot Without A Lid." Since it's still a little early to plant anything outside, I've been playing around with a few houseplants, and I can't help noticing that Linda's recommendation is both a pretty and a thrifty means of displaying plants!
awwww how enchanting! cute post and beeeeautiful teapot! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty teapot. I haven't seen one like this with such a nice shape (love the little feet) and the look of tole painting. I like to put African violets in my lidless pots, too. Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteLove your "lidless teapot". It is so pretty! What a great idea to use as a planter.
ReplyDeleteOh, she's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWho could part with such a lovely pot- great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very pretty teapot and a good use for it too. Definitely worth $5.
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog, and I enjoyed reading it. The teapot which you show here looks handpainted. Do you have any information about it?
ReplyDeleteAnother way to use a lidless teapot is as a flower vase. Seven or eight roses look absolutely beautiful when arranged in a teapot. I have a blue and white patterned lidless teapot that I just love, and when I fill it with roses from my garden, it cheers up the entire room!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful lidless teapot! I can see why you didn't pass it up!
ReplyDeleteGinny, welcome, and thanks for reading! I checked the bottom of this teapot, but as I thought, this one is completely unmarked. Wish I knew more about it though, because I'd *love* to know what sort of lid it originally had!
ReplyDeleteThat is just gorgeous! Please pix again when it blooms!
