I remember a very special tea when mother and I visited London in 1985. We were invited for high tea by the young couple residing in the house where mother had lived as a child. Their gracious hospitality included a full menu of meats, breads, pies, and tea served from a Brown Betty teapot. Such a delightful afternoon!
Teapots have always fascinated me. I like pretty teacups, but teapots are my first love. My teapot collection really began after I retired in 2004. At last I had time to browse antiques stores to my heart’s content. While visiting in North Carolina, my husband and I spotted a Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee commemorative teapot in the window of a British specialty shop. Unfortunately, the store was closed, and we had to leave town before it opened the next day. Secretly, my husband called the store and surprised me by having the teapot delivered to our house a few days later. I proudly placed the teapot on the sideboard in my breakfast room. I soon realized that it looked lonesome. We headed to a local antiques store and found several Sadler teapots commemorating historical events and literary themes. I was hooked!
I collect tea pots i am looking to sell some how do I find the right person to view my collection
