The Allure of Teapots

My precious teapot-belonged to my grandmother

 Teapots! The awesome pot with a spout and handle! Why do teapots fascinate us so? Maybe, we love tea? Or could it be that they are so pretty by themselves? No wonder teapots have become tremendously popular as collectables. Moreover, weren't we  imbibed with teapot awareness right from childhood? Who does not remember the teapot nursery rhyme even after many summers and grey hair?

My Collectables

  "I'm a little teapot,
 Short and stout
 Here is my handle
 Here is my spout
 When I get all steamed up,
 Hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out!"

Of course we all know  that  it takes just a tea bag and an electric jug to  make a cup of tea! But then, that won’t do for real tea lovers! Tea lovers love their cuppa brewed in the pot with a beautiful tea cosy thrown over it. Sounds so very quaint!

‘Strange, how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.’ ~Author Unknown. So very true and spot on!
