Teapots

[carp rides again]

Was gifted an electric tea pot for Christmas, it books water in 3mins. It's amazing, highly recommend

I have quite a collection of hand thrown teapots. I started by collecting pots made by my ex missus's family of Seth Cardew & his son Ara but I have broadened my reach to other well known potters.

Here is one made by Alan Pett....



This one is by David Leech (son of Bernard Leech, renowned for reintroducing studio pottery into Britain)......



This beauty is by Jack Kenny.....



This is a recent addition made by Ray Finch at Winchcombe Pottery...



And another by Ray Finch....


This is one by Seth Cardew...this one arrived sans bamboo handle but I soon sourced one & fitted it....



And another Seth Cardew, this is actually very tiny and was made to order. It holds just the one cup of tea.


And finally another one by Seth, this is a whopper and came with one of his jugs....

A wonderful collection, Jay! I particularly like the Jack Kenny.

I guess you don't entertain often. A one cup teapot seems like a rather odd choice.

I just have never heard of anyone making something to consume with distilled water. It doesn't have any minerals in it, which is what most would attribute to good tasting water. Usually folks would say that it tastes flat or bland. But, maybe with tea, it's different. Just curious.

Always used distilled because my well water tastes great but is heavy in calcium. The modern electric makers are destroyed within a few.months.

I don't entertain at all, or try my best not to......but I imagine the person who commissioned that particular teapot was probably some little old dame who just wanted a one cup teapot for herself.
