Description
This is a stoneware teapot with a stainless steel strainer, made for brewing and pouring a proper pot of loose-leaf tea. Its rounded body is covered in a multicoloured pattern of large flowers and broad leaves, with a small butterfly near the shoulder and patterned borders running round the base and the rim of the domed lid. The spout, the looped handle and the knob on the lid are glazed in one solid colour that frames all that pattern. It holds 900ml, stands 16.5cm tall, is 13cm across and weighs 0.81KG.
With 900ml to pour, this is a pot for sharing rather than a single cup, so it suits slow weekend breakfasts, afternoon tea with friends and a long chat at the kitchen table. The pattern gives a plain table plenty to look at, and between pots it sits happily on an open kitchen shelf or a dresser, where the flowers stay on show instead of being tucked away in a cupboard. It makes a cheerful gift for a tea drinker who loves pattern, or for anyone putting together a cosy, country-style kitchen or dining room. The styling props shown are not included.
The decoration is a mix of decal and hand painting, finished under a glossy glaze. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, a useful quality in a teapot while the leaves steep. The maker marks it as not for the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so it is washed by hand and kept to brewing and pouring. When you style it, let the teapot be the one patterned piece on a plain cloth, or set it beside simple cups in a single shade so the flowers carry the whole table.
