I must confess I felt a little guilty buying this Sadler teapot at a Bremen antique mall over the weekend since I happen to have a tea blogger friend who collects Sadlers, but when you're in the antique mall and you see one marked $18 (not bad) and realize the booth has marked most things half-off (
really not bad), what are you to do? Well, you buy the teapot!
I loved the shape of this teapot as well as the pretty rose design, which will blend well with the pink teawares in my collection.
This backstamp looks rather new-ish to me, and when I searched online I saw it described as a 1947-and-later mark and also as a 1955 mark, but I would not be shocked to learn this teapot is only a few years old because it is in such good condition. At any rate, I love my new $9 teapot and look forward to pouring many cups of happiness from its sweet little spout.

ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Angela, and a great price!
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely do buy the teapot! That's a beauty, once again you have made a great find.
ReplyDeleteA girl can never have too many teapots ... especially a Sadler!
ReplyDeleteThat newish mark wouldn't bother me a bit. You got a beautiful teapot at a fantastic price.
ReplyDeleteThe Tea Gods continue to smile on you!! Another beautiful find Angela enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI do love Sadler teapots. This is beautiful and yes, a very good price.
ReplyDeleteI love your Sadler teapot, Angela. The rose design is lovely and you got it for a real bargain too. I have one Sadler teapot which, believe it or not, I won in a giveaway a few years ago. My Blue Willow teacup I found in a thrift shop last Summer for $6.99. Can't go wrong with that either and it appears to have never been used, except by me. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteOh my word whatta bargain = all that and so perfect and beautiful too?
ReplyDeleteYa done goodly, lady friend!
Hugs.
What a great deal!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This may be the best bargain ever!
