Early this week I picked a huge bouquet of banged up peonies after a beating rain...but with the crazy weather we have had, HOT-HOT-HOT....they were already wilting. Loosely arranged in my trusty OLD Granny's enamel coffeepot, they shabbily graced the kitchen table.

Next morning my NEW OLD teapot arrived from Etsy. It's a 10-cup unmarked porcelain teapot with a brass handle. Vintage for sure, but no way of knowing the age.

I didn't even wash it, but immediately put my teapot on the table, just as is...and had to take pictures. OMG, I love the design, the weight, and the great brass handle. The price was right, and I had been looking for a teapot for quite awhile. I have no less than six coffeepots for serving, but no large teapots.

The brass handle unscrews for proper cleaning. I love the quilting design. I chose it for the classic shape, and the blue/white design on the gray-white porcelain. This will blend well with my Copenhagen porcelain. The teapot that matches my dishes goes as high as $350 or so --- so, this one was a desirable alternative.

As a potter, I had probably made a couple of hundred teapots, but had never kept any. This has a nice classic and yet country vibe.

My husband tried to eat one of these strawberries. Heavy resin, they were $2.00 at a thrift store and perfect for June.

They really do look delicious. The fridge has had fresh strawberries in it for the last month.
These strawberries all have crispy green tops, and are non-staining on my OLD vintage napkin. I love old linens. This napkin is the last one of my mom's from the 40's.

The OLD 1930's stoneware bowl has a waffle design glazed in a rich baby blue matte. I have had no luck in finding the maker on this one as many potteries used this design. But, I picked it up for $2.00, so it doesn't matter.

So NEW OLD Teapot, OLD stoneware bowls, OLD family wool carders, vintage OLD 40-50's enamel coffeepot, vintage OLD linens and NEW fresh resin strawberries.
