I love Callas.
When I saw this one I knew I had to have it ... the beautiful golden color with a deep purple center.
When we lived on Galveston Island, we'd go downtown to the Peanut Butter Warehouse.
It was filled with antiques and junk and so much fun.
This teapot was one of the first things we found.
There is no marking of any kind on his bottom.
He has a crackle finish. He makes me smile.
You can see why he is a favorite.
"The legend of tea's origin is that it was discovered by
the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung in 2737 BC, when a tea leaf
accidentally fell into a bowl of hot water."

Another fantastic teapot and your new header is yummy too. That yellow is a stunner. xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing, too, but for a different reason... I think you're teapot looks like a "she"!! Lipstick, a front laced bustier, eyebrows & rouged cheeks...don't you think? If so, then her position is a wee bit obscene. LOL Still laughing...please don't be offended? Its too cute, either gender!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the photos of the calla lilies! I carried an armful in my wedding. We don't seem to grow them in OH. bummer :-(
Thanks for sharing yours, though.
fondly,
Rett
p.s. STILL laughing! ;-)
I agree with the previous comment....I think the teapot looks like a woman! Interesting!! And makes me giggle.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are simply gorgeous. The vibrant colors would put a smile on my face every time I looked at them.
Calla lilies are so elegant! I love them too.
ReplyDeleteI love Calla Lilies and am always trying to grow them. Love your teapot too - even the slightly risqué theme!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love Callas, too. These are particularly beautiful. Love that unique teapot!
ReplyDeleteHello from Frog Hollow Farm! Thanks so much for stopping by my post on the Philadelphia Flower Show - I see by your Calla Lilies that you are also a flower lover. We are 27 degrees here today - but my husband is determined to start his brocolli seeds indoors - we are both just waiting for spring to come and stay. Ciao, bella!
ReplyDeleteLove those callas! Gotta have me some more lilies this summer, if it ever comes? Beautiful post! Have a great evening!
ReplyDeleteSuch vibrant colors!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays!

I agree with Rettabug. My first thought was that this was a lady teapot and "my oh my, what is she doing?" A wee bit obscene, but most definitely makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute teapot and I love the pretty callas. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThe calla lilies are stunning in their beauty, Snap! I can see why you could not resist them!
ReplyDeleteYour teapot is very much a conversation starter. I do believe Rett was right about her pose :)
I did not join in over at Mosaic Monday this week but am enjoying catching everyone's great choices. Your teapot has so much character.
ReplyDeleteLovely - the teapot is so unusual!

I have some calla bulbs in the basemnt that are showing some shoots. Need to pot them up. Love callas too and yours are lovely. V
ReplyDeleteI love anything that is a little unusual...the teapot is perfect! And the bright color of the flower is beautiful! Very cheery and happy! ♥
ReplyDeleteGorgeous calla! The colored ones are essentially annuals here, but I still like planting them. I do have a pretty creamy white one that comes back for me.
ReplyDeleteIts a beauty
