Description
This tulip teapot is made from earthenware ceramic and shaped like a flower just opening, its pink body moulded into broad overlapping petals with soft brushed shading running through the glaze. The lid follows the same petal form and is topped with a small rounded bud knob held by two sage green leaves, while the handle and the ribbed spout come in the same sage green, like the stem and leaves of the flower. It holds 1000ml and stands 16.5cm tall and 12cm deep, a generous pot that still sits neatly on a tray.
We see it on the kitchen table for the morning pot, or brought out when friends come round for tea and cake. The pink and sage green palette sits happily in a cottage kitchen, a pastel breakfast nook or a bright modern room, and it looks just as cheerful left out on an open shelf or a dresser between brews. Because it holds 1000ml there is room for several cups at once, so it suits a shared pot as well as a slow afternoon on your own. It also makes a charming gift that will be used every day.
The earthenware body is finished in a glossy glaze that picks up the light along every petal edge, and the lid lifts off for filling and rinsing. As with most glazed earthenware, we would wash it by hand in warm soapy water, rinse it well and let it dry with the lid off, then wipe the outside with a soft cloth. Handle the lid by its bud knob and set it down gently, since earthenware can chip if knocked. Pair it with a simple white cloth and a jug of fresh tulips for a spring tea table that needs nothing more.
