Its Teapot Tuesday! I've just come back off holiday from the wonderful, beautiful city of Amsterdam and am feeling rather inspired. So on that note todays teapot is by Delftware -this iconic Dutch-style blue and white pottery made in Delft, Netherlands. I saw some wonderful ones here and there on my holiday.
This one is an interesting example, 19th century, with a flower bud finial (thats the little knob on the lid), and decorated with scenes of dancers and musicians it also and comes with its own stand and warmer (very Dutch- they like to keep things warm and anything a bit DIY). Delfte China goes back nearly 500 years, so if you wanted an antique Delfte teapot for your collection- there are plenty about online or in the Netherlands themselves- just one of many reasons to visit Amsterdam I say.
Danke,
Hayley
