The Pouring Teapot
This week is all about sharing about teapots. Do you have one? two? or three? maybe more? Is it for display only or do you use it for tea? What is the tea server you use most? Your favorite teapot (or is it something like a quart jar?). Tell your teapot story, give it's history, and tell what it means to you. You can share more than once if you'd like. Antique, new, Asian, English, or something inbetween --- we'd love to know!
Imagine two shearers, two helpers, their father and elderly uncle, a wool throwing table, brooms, lots of noise from the shears, maybe a dog or two. Then at morning tea, one of the helpers wives comes with a large metal tea pot, mugs, milk, sugar and loads of cakes including beer cake & jam drops. The section near the wool, the spare piece of floor in the shed, that actually has lino on it is now where we eat and drink. This is my memory of not this teapot, it was the standin. It was very enjoyable and well ordered. It is the best tea I have had.
The teapot is for display. I also have a white teapot with pink spots, and a normal sized metal teapot.
