Teapot








My granddaughter was 'helping me' sort through some cupboards yesterday
and 'we' decided to change around
the things I had on display






A little different, isn't it?











I tried to get a close up
but my camera wasn't having it!!
It says
"Montrose Shape
Old Country Roses"






It looks as if the artist was having breakfast with her paint box ready mixed
and got up in a hurry knocking over
the milk jug!!







It's so beautifully detailed











The tablecloth
is beautifully embroidered








and so is the underskirt!






Even underneath is beautifully sculpted






I loved the top of this as it reminded me






of a..






coffee jug
we were given...






as a wedding present 46 years ago.






Perhaps I'll do a post about that set another time!?

  13. What a very fun teapot - I thought at first that it had a flat top and you were displaying other things on it! The level of detail is wonderful.
