It's been a while since I found any affordable tea-themed linens, but recently I came across a gray-toned teapot tablecloth on eBay for under $10. I was pleasantly surprised when I was the only bidder and won the auction!
Like many vintage tablecloths, this one features a solid colored rectangle in the middle surrounded by a very graphic-filled border. I just love all the different teapots on this tablecloth!
Good thing, too, because I already had this tablecloth in blue.
And pink. I saw it in yellow once as well, but it was a bit faded so I didn't buy it. (I regretted that.) I also saw it in green once on eBay, but it went for a very high price so I didn't bid. (And I didn't regret that!) There are very few tea collectibles I own that I've been able to collect in various colorways. A few brooches, a few tea towels, but these are the only tablecloths I have in different colors. Are there other tea collectibles (besides teacups, of course) that you've found came in different colors?

I would love to own that gorgeous tablecloth,and for such a price.
ReplyDeleteLove the tablecloths! Are all yours the same size? I will be looking for these in other colors for you as I prowl the shops.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute print, I really love the blue one. I have a hard time finding nearly anything tea related recently... seems the shops (both new and second hand) in my area are woefully devoid of pretty tea things as of late. What a bummer :o(
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Angela! I hope you're doing well and having a nice summer! I might be making my first trip to Georgia soon! Part of my family just moved to the Augusta area, I can't wait to visit them!
That is a great looking tablecloth. I love the teapots and the ostrich plume looking design. All the colors are pretty, but especially the pink and black.
ReplyDeleteThanks, friends, and yes, Belinda, they are all about 44 x 52 inches. I would *love* to have your eyes looking out for these for me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty table clothes. Other than tea cups and tea pots I do not have multiplies of any tea wares in different colors.
ReplyDeleteHello Angela, the table cloth is beautiful. I like the designs of the teapots too, very nice.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had the winning bid,
Joanie
How fun to find the tablecloths in different colors. I have seen one of my table cloths in a different color and also one of my teacups. Neither one did I buy, but now I wish I had bought the teacup. Oh well. Saturday I will be out at an antique sidewalk fair and who knows.
