Nice pots amy210!
And Sal, I am looking forward to seeing a pic of your pot! Your photos are always pleasing to the eye, and give me the feeling that I need to have whatever is in your photo!!!! Those tea leaf shots in TeaDay just made me want to brew tea.
And of course I always like the addition of flowers, since they are my vocation by choice.

Very blurry (cel-phone) snapshot of my beloved silver teapot--purchased as scrap on eBay with added handle (antler) and knob (acorn cap). I was going through my hobbit phase
The handle is a bit wobbly (it took me forever to get it properly riveted together and attached), but it works as a good little teapot should and seems to be enjoying its makeover.
Also vintage Royal Worcester Chasing Dragon cup and saucer--love the blue and white in summertime!

I've invited Katy to come and participate. I know she's pretty busy, but hopefully she'll come and take a peek!

I went to Hong Kong last weekend for business and visited "Best Teahouse" in Hong Kong. The main branch is at Lai Chi Kok.
I had no intention of buying anything prior to visiting. But my eye caught 2 teapots in the glass display labelled "1970 - 1980 Teapots". My wife gave her blessing and I brought home my 4th Teapot. I must stop!!!

Swozt, i usually don't like pots with engraving but this one is very good looking. How much did you have to pay for it, if I may ask?

Beautiful pot, Swozt, and you've shown it off to great effect in the photos. I love the luster and the deep color.
