I just love this teapot,when I was about five I remember my Mom had a
neighbor named Sarah that she would make tea in a teapot like just like
this one set up the pretty cups and holler out the door to Sarah to come
over for a cuppa tea.
So when we moved to Florida in 1958 and Mom
unpacked the beloved teapot it was shattered all but the lid remained.
My Mom cried over the loss of the teapot but I think it was more about
the loss of Sarah than the cobalt teapot, however my mom kept the lid to
the pot.Over the years Mom had a cuppa Tea with many other friends with
many different teapots.
After Mom and then Dad died I was cleaning
out the kitchen drawers and there in the drawer in the back was the glow
of bright blue, the lid in perfect condition. I sat the lid on a shelf
with many other memento's of sweetness and joy. Went to my computer and
e-bay to see if I could find a teapot to complete the memory. There
among all the hundreds of teapots was one cobalt tea pot same design as
Moms "Cobalt blue teapot - Hall # 0783 /6 cup teapot perfect condition
Lid broken Buy it now $5.00. I bought it as fast as I could push the
buttons.
I was elated as far as I was concerned it WAS "Mom's" Teapot
and I reunited her lid to the perfect teapot and it has a place of
great honor in my kitchen and always will. So does the broken lid.
This is a still life I set up with the Teapot and her cup and lemons
Sarah is with my Mom and not available.
