Description
“Shall I be mother?” asked Cousin Aurélie, lifting the blue teapot with great ceremony as the rain pattered on the conservatory roof. Everyone laughed, because she asked the same question every Sunday, and every Sunday she poured too much milk into the first cup. Still, nobody would dream of letting anyone else take the pot. It was simply the way things were done at the house on the hill, and the rain only made the tea taste better.
This blue-scaled teapot is wonderful for the friend who always has the kettle on, the collector who lines shelves with tiny teapots, or a granddaughter who has just discovered the joy of a proper tea party. Give it at a bridal shower, a birthday or a Mother’s Day brunch. Display it on a dresser, a tea tray or in a china cabinet. The hinged lid lifts to reveal space for a tiny keepsake. Its cool blue pattern pairs beautifully with classic blue-and-white china, adding a gentle touch of colour.
