Duck & Duckling Earthenware Teapot 840ml - Beige & Grey

This duck teapot brings a farmyard family to the tea table. A plump duck forms the body of the pot, her open orange beak becomes the spout, and a small duckling sits on the lid as its knob. It is made of earthenware, a traditional ceramic, and coloured in soft beige and grey, with raised feathers across the wings and back, a pale collar around the neck, a warm brown handle and a pink bud with green leaves where the handle meets the body. The teapot stands 13cm high, 17.5cm wide and 14cm deep, and holds 840ml.

At 840ml it makes a generous pot for sharing, so it suits a weekend breakfast or an afternoon tea at the kitchen table. Between brews it sits happily on a kitchen shelf, a dresser or a sunny windowsill, where the duck and her duckling make a cheerful country display. It feels most at home in a cottage-style kitchen or a farmhouse dining room, and anywhere that leans towards traditional, countryside decoration. At 17.5cm wide and 14cm deep, it fits on a laden tea tray or a narrow shelf without fuss, and its large looped handle sits well clear of the body.

The lid lifts away, with the duckling as a handy grip, and sits on a nest-like base with a short collar underneath that holds it in the opening. Inside, the pot is finished in plain white, and the outside has a glossy glaze that shows off the moulded feathers. As with most decorative earthenware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth; between uses, a soft dry cloth keeps the feathered detail free of dust. Set it out with a jug of milk and a plate of scones for a cheerful country tea, or wrap it as a gift that is sure to raise a smile.
