Tea pot

Today is a gray, rainy day. What better way to lighten the mood but with a cup of golden tea, a touch of milk and a home baked cupcake? Made by my girl last night! 
The tea pot was a special Marshall's score last week! Barbara Barry's Top Note Design for Wedgewood! YES! 
I am sure some of you know the thrill...
But as any tea lover will agree with me: No teapot is really good unless it pours smoothly, without dripping and sputtering! This one is excellent, reminding me a little bit of the genie lamp from Thousand And One Night, which of course gives me an reading ideas for some long winter nights! 

 But I am sure this one will serve us longer than that...

Good night!

Treasure

Have you seen the latest Jonathan Adler pieces? Some of them are platinum covered little beauties. Like the Belly vase!
I adore them.
But at $175 a piece a little out of my budget, but oh so gorgeous!



I found a lovely tea pot which reminded me of JA's design.




A true beauty. It's 40's vintage Hutschenreuther porcelain, silver-plated. It has a lovely patina and shine to it! And I got it on ebay for the fraction of the cost I would have to spend on the vases above. $13.49!
I love it!
Is eBay on your radar? There are still many treasures to be found!
