I thought I'd share my newest EBay purchase. I'm just loving it. I'm not sure where I'm going with it to, but I knew it would be mine when I saw it while checking out EBay a couple weeks ago. :) I've been trying to locate where it comes from. I'm sure it must be Italian made as it's signed Italia. But then I could be wrong. I've been known to be now and then. Just don't let Bill know I said that. lol It looks to have a rooster drawing beside the Italia on the bottom. I've never come across anything like it. It has it's love spots but that's what makes it charming. :) If anyone could shed some light on who it might be by I'd appreciate it. :)

Looking down on the top...
The backside. Don't you just love the handle. It's what made me fall in love with this teapot.

A LA CARTE - JUNKIN FINDS FRIDAY #12
Cute, cute, cute! Can't help with it's origin....but love it!
ReplyDeleteYep....been snowing here all day, temps falling into single digits tonight :(
I forgot to mention above that it is 10" big so not an itty bitty pot.
ReplyDeleteKim, I am sure that was made in Italy. They are real big on ceramics like that. We went to Italy and there is a little town on the Almafi coast that creates beauties like that. That is a very pretty piece.
ReplyDeletethat is really a pretty little tea post...well actually not so little. I love the colors, Thank Kim for stopping by and letting me know you backed your blog up...makes me feel great to know more are doing that. Have a good one!

That is a very unique teapot. And I love all your blues in the previous post. Hope you are having a great weekend. Stay warm and cozy. Best wishes and blessings, Tammy
ReplyDeleteYour teapot is such a find! I, too, have been looking at teapots on Ebay and found a small one that is gorgeous and another that is a stacked affair. Tivet, teapot, sugar bowl, and creamer. I should post a picture of it on The Spice garden next time I make cookies or a tea snack!
ReplyDeleteAs for yours, I wonder where in Italy it was produced. don't you just wonder whose hands formed it and placed the handles and spout? I love the 'history' of pieces that I find in consignments and at auction!
Love your blog, Kim!
Thank you everyone! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your stacked one Susan. It sound adorable. I wonder too about my teapot. It's hand painted...I can see the smiles as they paint the silly curly handle. :)
It is darling! I can see why you love that unique handle!
