I am one for the Pots.

I adore antique ceramic teapots and can't resist buying them. Here are 4 examples from my collection of 40 plus that I have at the moment.

Description of them:

Top Right: Torquay Pottery about 1870
Top Left: Doulton Lambeth about 1875
Bottom Left: Torquay Pottery about 1900
Bottom Right: Doulton Lambeth about 1900

Yes I'm a potterholic.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.

Heather, we have teapots in common! I have a collection of 50+, although mostly modern teapots. I will have to post a photo on one of these rainy days we have forecast. Love seeing some of your teapots!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@featherstone Thanks Sue, a few of my friends know I collect them and pull my leg a bit. Although I love my teapots they are only a part of my collection of over 250 ceramic items mostly Torquay pottery and the early Doulton Lambeth,

[Sue Hecker]

Oh, my, that's quite a number of items!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@featherstone Think of the dusting Sue, even if many are in glass display cabinets.

[Judith]

Stunning collection and lovely collage.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@daisyjuds Thanks Judith appreciate your view.

[Ian McGuire]

this is really interesting; i know nothing of ceramics ( i love antique furniture) so really appreciate both the pictures and the descriptions of them...always nice to file info like this away!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@ianrm Thanks Ian, always glad to add some info.

[Claire]

Aren't they gorgeous.............your confession to being a potterholic made me smile; most people would think Harry Potter

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@claireuk Thanks Claire, where some people go made for drink, for me it's ceramics and particularly teapots.

[Phil Cameron]

interesting photo display, and its art for sure !
my favourite would defiantly be bottom left.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@philcameron59 Thanks Phil, I have many of that design in all shapes and sizes.

[David]

Interesting collection do you make a brew in them? Great light as well

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@killeen Thanks David, No I have a machine that dispenses a single cup.

[Lin]

Beautiful collage (Just an FYI - now the song "I'm a little teapot" is stuck in my head...)

[Kathie]

Lovely teapots. It's great they've survived the years.
You must be on the tea potty a lot if you use them.:)

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@linnypinny Thanks Lin, just keep singing that song.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@linnypinny Thanks Kathie, I drink tea first thing in the morning and a nice cup of Earl Grey in the afternoon. In between coffee.

[Glenn Mostert]
