Tuesday Tea Time

 We saw these fancy teapots in a college art center. Made as art displays, not actually use, they were in glass cases.

It looks as if they had fun making them...they make me smile.

Very nice teapots, but I think they are not that handy!
If you use them only as decoration they are gorgeous!

Wow...the colors,are a bit "evil" looking, like halloweenush! This looks,to me, like a neat idea. I'd have fun.

These are very elaborate looking teapots. They look like something out of an Alice in Wonderland kind of story.
I LOVE that last quote.

How beautiful! I've often thought I'd love to live in a college town, as they usually have all sorts of wonderful coffee shops and book stores and concerts & plays at the school, and the like. But then again I think about it some more and decide that with college students comes a lot of ruckus too. Perhaps I'd just like to visit instead. :-) These teapots are glorious! ~Andrea xoxo

These are beautiful teapots, but on a cold morning like this I would like a teapot I could use to get some hot tea.

You have the most unusual items around you - is your area noted for art cultures?

Shug said...

WOW! these are all quite unique and beautiful. can you imagine pouring tea for you and your company from one of these pots? I love a good ol' hot cup of tea. No English in me that I know of, but tea in the afternoon is pretty good...
