I have been interested in collecting teapots for several years and enjoy browsing around china shops looking for unusual collectable teapots. Some examples of my collection are depicted below.
This teapot reminds me of my grand-daughter as she often used to sit on the settee with the cat sitting on the back.
I have a white piano and a black piano in teapot form. These remind of my piano playing days. My mother was a piano teacher. Apparently I have been told I used to put jam on the keys to stop them playing to avoid practise!
This is a Tony Carter collectable teapot. I bought this at the actual pottery in Debenham, Suffolk in 1998 whilst on holiday. Blackberry and apple pie is my husbands favourite dessert.
I started being interested in penguins before we got married. My husband-to-be used to draw penguins when he wrote to me whilst we were courting. Since then I have collected Penguins in many formats, shapes, and sizes including Soft toys, Ceramics, Wood, Glass, Metal, Pictures, Cards and Postage Stamps (not forgetting chocolate biscuit bars!).
I'm also interested in miniature teasets and this is an example of one of the sets I have.
I would be interested in hearing from other teapot collectors. You can e-mail me below:-
