Three Thrifted Teapots

It's a new September!

This week, I'm sharing teapots that I thrifted during the last few months.

Teapot #1: This vintage Sadler sunflower teapot was in mint condition and was only $4.55!

 

I was thrilled to finally have a bell-shaped Sadler teapot in my collection!

 

Teapot #2: I initially passed on this Whittard of Chelsea blue starry teapot because it was stained inside. But I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I went back to the thrift store and bought it for $4.55.

 

 

I figured that if I couldn't get the stain out, I could use it for decoration. I soaked the interior with vinegar for a few hours and the stains came out easily. So the teapot looked as good as new!

 

 The teapot also came with a tea strainer.

 

Teapot #3: I hit the jackpot when I spotted sitting on the store shelf this beautiful teapot made by a Canadian potter, Deborah Doran. I've always admired her work at the pottery shows, but I couldn't afford her teapots which sold for $90 CAD.

 

Deborah Doran's teapots are known for their cute little feet, the handle at the front, and the witch hat-like lid. I practically skipped to the cash register when the price tag said that it was only $14.99!
