Product Description

Teatime is one of life's daintiest, most convivial and refreshing social rituals. What can be better than something that brings friends together for a good chat amidst a delicious array of cakes and other tasty tidbits, all accompanied by refreshing sips of tea carefully poured from a fine, c. 1780 Worcester pot beautifully embellished with oriental motifs and touched with gold? Or a rare, c. 1810 New Hall pot bedecked with flowers and leaves in pink and gold? Featuring rare and distinctive teapots arranged in beautiful settings, The Collectible Teapot & Tea Calendar is a joyful tribute to this special afternoon ritual.

From the Back Cover
Ritual, refreshment, a way of life, teatime is an interlude that invigorates the spirit. For 2008, The Collectible Teapot & Tea Calendar presents a year of beautiful vintage teapots arranged in lovely teatime settings. A romantic gilded Miles Mason teapt from 1805 will set hearts aflutter on Valentine's Day. A 1780 Worcester pot, decorated with Chinese and Japanese motifs, is the perfect choice for a supremely civilized tea. And it doesn't get any more playful than a 1950s Carlton Ware squirrel teapot. Accompanying Martin Brigdale's photographs is delectable history and lore from teapot collector and writer Joni Miller.

Customer Reviews

Tea Pot Calendar
I buy several copies of this Tea Pot calendar every year, some for my home and office and many to give as gifts to my also addicted "tea" friends. This is the most beautiful tea calendar chocked full of beautiful tea pots along with incredible "tablescapes" to motivate you to create your own tea pot themed event!

Tea time
I love these calendars! I buy one for me and one for my sister-in-law each year. Beautiful pictures with historical descriptions that are fun to read. The box for each day has plenty of room to write in. The calendar comes with 12 postcards matching the calendar pictures. Although I seldom send postcards, you can use them for gift tags and notes.
