I’m taking part in Claudia’s Favorite Thing Saturday over at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. This week I’m going to share my teapot collection as my favorite thing.
I actually didn’t even realize I had a teapot collection until I was looking for something to put in the cubes on top of my bookcases. But since I have more than 3 – that makes them a collection, right?

This Mackenzie Childs teapot is one that my husband surprised me with after the sale of our first house. He also bought me the sugar and creamer! This pattern is probably retired by now but I have to check on that. I love the mix of checks with the flowers. It’s a lovely reminder of when our daughter was just a baby and fixing up our first house and selling it during a crazy time when houses in our town hardly stayed on the market for more than two weeks!
This black one was also a gift from my husband. The chickens on front look like a scene from a piece of toile!
This blue teapot and the one below were both gifts from my daughter (with help from Daddy).
These little transferware teapots below are one were ones I purchased long ago.
I just like the idea of a little pot that has it’s own little cup! Tea for one!
And last are two thriftstore finds. The red teapot and the one behind it with the cherries. I LOVE that one with the cherries! I’ve been looking forever for another one or maybe the plates that go with it.
There you have it – my teapot collection. One of my favorite things! I think I have room for one more in the back there don’t ya think? 🙂
Please be sure to go visit Claudia and see all the other favorite things linked up or link up a post of your own!
Have a great weekend!
LOVE your collection of teapots! My favorite is the black and white gifted from your husband:) Have a blessed weekend dear friend, HUGS!
A very nice collection made all the better because they were gifts from your husband and/or daughter. I think he has you well figured out. I have only three and I think that I need more after seeing yours. Yes, you definitely have room for one or two more.
You do have some pretty tea-pots. I love the transfer-ware ones with the matching cup. They are just too sweet. Deb
That little cherry teapot is so cute. I think I would be the same way… I didn’t plan on having a teapot
collection but I have one. 🙂

P.S. I’m following you now. I hope you will stop by and say hi! 🙂
What a beautiful collection!! You have some really pretty teapots -I love them all.

What a collection, Manuela. When I saw your red teapot on Claudia’s blog…Oh, I just had to come calling. You have been blessed by your family with such pretty pots…and, oh, the thrifted ones…They are special, too!

Such a lovely collection of teapots! I have four, I think – but nowhere to display them right now. Since I change out the decor in my small kitchen china cabinet once in awhile, sometimes I put them on display in there.
I love your collection! They are so sweet. I think I like the transferware ones best, but they are all very nice. I have collected graniteware teapots and coffee pots over the years. They are so much fun!
Have a great weekend,
Nancy
What a delightful collection Manuella.
You could certainly squeeze one more in there!
Have a wonderful weekend.

What a beautiful collection! I have always loved teapots but never started a collection.
These are lovely…I think my favorites are those transferware ones with their own cup…but then again that cherries one is so darn cute! 🙂
Such lovely teapots! It’s hard to single out a favorite, but for me I think it is the Mackenzie Childs. Have a great weekend.

I love teapots and coffee pots. I would like to think I have a collection, but I actually have two… (three if you count a Christmas one.) Of all of yours, my very favorite is the black toile one that your husband gave you.
Very pretty collection, Manuela! Well, you know my favorites are the transferware because they remind me so much of toile. : ) I am not much of a tea drinker but there is just something about teapots. I also like the little ones that come with the cup. I have a white one.
Very pretty collection! I am always on the look out for teapots when we go to antique malls, but they are kind of hard to find. Plus I don’t want to spend much!
Such a pretty collection of teapots, Manuela. Love the cherries and the ones with the toile look (which is so much your style!) Thanks so much for joining in this week!

Gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing your pretty teapot collection.
Enjoy your weekend.
What a wonderful collection. My favorite is the one with blue checks. So unusual.

I have 3 teapots so I guess I have a collection too. Yours are lovely and in my favorite colors.
I LOVE your teapots!
I had something similar happen as I never really planned to have a teapot collection (teacups, yes… teapots, no) but my daughter gave me my first one as a gift and after that I found some at garage sales and Goodwill.
I did end up with quite the collection!
I’ve passed up some of those “tea for one” combinations but I love the way yours look.
Very cute. I like the way you have them displayed all together. I was trying to pick a favorite but I couldn’t. Do you have any decluttering tips?
My decluttering tip is to remember that when you’re gone your family will have to go through all your stuff. My MIL never got rid of anything and it was a nightmare and huge job to go through all her things when she passed away. 90% which we donated.
I also get rid of things if I haven’t used them or worn them in over a year. I periodically go through my books/clothes/storage and donate items. I guess the older I get the less stuff I want to take care of!
Thanks. I’m getting rid of quite a bit this time.
I love your teapot collection, Manuela! I also love those shelves. Where did you get them?
Brenda
Thank you Brenda. Those are IKEA bookcases. Just the inexpensive Billy. But I got some glass doors for two of them and they sell extender boxes for them.I have two bookcases on each side of my fireplace and all 4 bookcases have extenders. I have my rooster collection on one side of the fireplace and now teapots on the other side. I still have two more boxes to fill!
Another delight Manuela!!! I love the little teacup/teapot combos too and yours are sooo pretty! I’m afraid my own teapot collection is a motley group of beloved, well used, chipped and tarnished pieces ;)!
Love,
Tracey

P.S. You are so organized!
Oh come over and have a look at my crafting area or my desk and see if you still think so 🙂
You definitely have a great collection going there! I love the blue and white one with the flowers. And it’s funny because I am not really a flower person, hummm or am I?
Hi Manuella….Love your teapot collection.
If you have a family like mine…getting just one of anything pretty can be a risk……next thing it’s ‘Hello Collection’ ,as the family start donating more.
Have a good day
Barb from Australia
Oh yes, definitely! You need one more tall one 🙂 So pretty!
what a pretty collection! charming!
