I'm a little teapot......

In addition to the orange jug, which I bought because I liked the colour (see previous post), we also bought six mugs and a teapot from Gressierra, the pottery workshop in Chiclana. I like the mugs, but I love my teapot and feel that it deserves a blog posting of its own.

As you know, I like to start the day with a cup of tea (earl grey) and drink several more cups (Yorkshire Tea) at various stages during the day. My teapot is almost constantly in use, therefore, and a very important part of my life. THIS teapot is everything you could possibly want in a teapot.

The pottery is quite thick, so it keeps the tea nice and warm. However, the handle is separate so it doesn't get warm and burn your fingers while you are pouring. In addition there is a nice big gap between the handle and the pot so that you can get a proper grip. The lid fits perfectly and is nice and chunky so when you put it on the pot it makes a very satisfying clunky sound. It pours beautifully and there is even a sieve inside the pot which keeps the spout clear. Finally, the spout is shaped so that there is a little curve in it and it does not drip. Of course it is very pretty as well. All in all, it is the best teapot in the world.

I thought you would like to know.

Now I am going to make myself a pot of tea.
