Antique TeapotThere are few experiences as quintessentially English as afternoon tea – delicious scones piled high with clotted cream, Victoria sponge with fresh strawberries and, of course, a warming, soothing cup of tea, poured from an antique teapot. No self-respecting Englishman or woman would ever consider making tea for guests in a mug; the brewing and serving of the tea is a vital part of the experience. A large teapot from Katy Potts is perfect for afternoon tea parties and is guaranteed to impress all guests. Katy Potts’ “Utterly English Teaware” range seeks to pay homage to the antique teapots of the early 20th Century that were produced in the famous Staffordshire Potteries. The history and heritage of which is renowned among connoisseurs of fine china. Once home to a cavalcade of fine potteries, including such iconic brands as Shelley and Paragon, and designers such as Susie Cooper and Clarice Cliff, the area now hosts Katy Potts with her 1st collection, a range of large teapots that are lovingly crafted and decorated in the town of Longton, Staffordshire. Hand painted and detailed with 24 carat gold, any selection from the Katy Potts “Utterly English Teaware” collection will show an attention to detail worthy of those great Staffordshire masters. The Katy Potts “Utterly English Teaware” range of tea accessories is available both on-line from this site, and is also stocked at Regent Street’s iconic Liberty department store in the West End of London; a location that itself shows a veneration for the past that lends itself to the display of the range. A teapot from Katy Potts is the most iconic of English souvenirs, whether a painstakingly crafted item from her “Utterly English Teaware” range of tea accessories or an antique teapot from her vintage selection. |
