I recently shared some of the tea trivets that my friend Ruth passed along to me, and today, I want to share the two teapots that she gave me at the same time. I believe this old red-and-white enamelware teapot was passed down in her family, and I am so pleased to have it.
The simple design is such a classic.
And I turned the teapot so you can see that like most old enamelware, it got chipped through the years. It looks kind of like eyes and a nose, doesn't it? I see these marks as "character" and proof that this teapot was well loved.
My other teapot from Ruth, a figural teapot in the shape of a pumpkin, will come in handy in the fall. I love all kinds of tea wares, but my favorites will always be those that were gifts from family and friends!
So nice to have gifts of memories! Love the red and white enamelware. Love vintage!
ReplyDeleteThose are definitely interesting teapots! It's always nice to have a story behind a teapot and a connection with a friend or family member. That pumpkin (or melon) teapot WILL be very nice to use in October and November.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure you will get a lot of use from both of these cute teapots.
ReplyDeleteWhat treasures!
ReplyDeleteI have a little teapot next to my stove with olive oil in it for cooking. That little enamel teapot would work so well to do something like that.
Such sweet gifts!
