Farmhouse French Friday Tip 20

By Anita 103 Comments

Today I’m highlighting teapots and how they can add a special touch to your home.

They are not just for drinking tea, but look charming displayed in your home. I use small teapots and large ones of all different shapes and sizes.

Did you know we have a podcast all about decorating? You can subscribe to it HERE.

I love keeping a silver tea service sitting out even if I am not using it.  Teapots can be used in cabinets with glass doors, on shelves, really any where. I often leave a teapot sitting out on my table with a stack of dishes that look like I’m about to have a party. That works until someone comes over and asks where her tea and cookies are. Then I’m grabbing stuff from my freezer, looking for anything I could possibly serve with tea. Actually if I am completely caught off guard, I pull out cinnamon bread, toast it, then top it with butter, a little more cinnamon and honey. Really you can’t go wrong with that! If you have some fruit, even better.

See these macarons below? We made them. Yes with our own little hands, and with the help of my friend Therese. She lived in France, and showed Evie and me how to make them. They were delicious too! This display below would be pretty on your table, even without the macarons.

There are so many pretty teapots! This one below is a chintz one.

Of course I love silver ones too.

And this set below is so pretty. Can you believe I gave it away in a giveaway a long time ago?

Limoges-tea-set

This teapot is a Christofle one I found at the flea market in Paris. It’s a favorite of mine.

silver-teapot

Below I have a set of chocolate pots. They are not teapots, but close enough, right?

coffee-set

This teapot I found at an estate sale. I found out after I bought it that it does not hold water any more due to a crack, but it’s so pretty, and hand-painted so I kept it.

Well that’s a good assortment of teapots. Do you collect them? I finally stopped collecting them, but have a true affinity for them. When we downsize, I am going to have so many things to sell, including teapots.

    My mothers family is from England, so having afternoon tea has always been a part of our lives. Each year my parents would winterize with us staying in our garage apartment. When my daughters were young they would come home from school and go straight up to the apartment for “tea” or what the others kids would call “an after school snack”.

Art from another era that are useful as well! Thank you for the ideas. Mine are all packed away until our move in 3 weeks, but after that, teapots will be everywhere!

    Teapots remind me of my Grandmother and Mom. I usually don’t keep my siiver pieces out because they seem to tarnish.
    How do you deal with that? Have you ever had any of your pieces re-dipped? Do you recommend that?
    Enjoyed the post.

    Thanks,

I really have no room for another teapot but if I found one that went with my chintz cream and sugar I would get rid of something in my China cabinet to make room for that teapot.

    I collect teapots and tea cups. One of my favorite tea sets is a white teapot trimmed in black with 2 black Siamese cats with blue eyes. It reminds me of the cats in the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp. I still do tea parties with my 18 year old granddaughter and 14 year old grandson. My adult son and 22 year old grandson love my tea I make for them. I also have my grandfather’s tea post a a cup and saucer from my little Hawaiian grandmas tea cup collection.

A very special one is a Portmerion one exactly like you show…I hand carried it from London on our last trip there some twenty years ago. Each one of my collection brings back wonderful memories….

    This post really caught my attention and warmed my heart! Tea is a daily part of my life. Tea parties with friends are always so heartwarming. When it comes to teapots, tea cups, and all that goes with them I’ve been collecting since I was 18 yrs old (that’s a lot of of tea posts 🙂 Most are displayed in my great-grandmother’s breakfront cabinet that she always kept her Flow Blue china in. my decorating talents are few and far between, so I love seeing what you share. I think I will go put some tea pots and cups out today … I’m inspired!

    I collect tea pots & tea cups. I use them and my daughter & I have even had a full tea party for 40 women & a few children. It was a joy to serve a proper tea for the ladies. A friend downsized her home later on & gave me a full silver Tea Set, along with some Irish & English cups/saucers/plates. Such joy! We create such wonderful memories with simple tea, and we occasionally add the extra goodies. Thank you for posting such lovely pictures and creating such beautiful ideas.

I have them all out where I can look at them and choose the one my mood suits. Yours looks just lovely. Good for you keeping it out.

    Teapots grace almost every room of my house. I love the sculptural interest the different shapes and sizes give to vignettes I create. I love that they remind me to slow down and enjoy simple pleasures. During cold weather, the first thirty minutes after I arrive home from work are spent with a lovely cup of tea in front of the fire. Thanks for sharing such lovely examples of incorporating teapots into our decorating. You never fail to inspire.

I am going to try just setting them out and see what I come up with. I look forward to your posts, very inspiring! My Mother loved collecting antiques and was always going to sales, I have a teapot that she bought at a sale and when showing it to me she would say now that is a goodie! My daughter and I always have to laugh when I get it out, she was such a joy to be around!

    I particularly enjoy hosting afternoon teas for friends and family, so naturally I collect teapots, tea cups & saucers, tea accouterments, and tea-related books. Teapots are displayed on shelves in the library and family room, kitchen cupboard, and guest rooms. I am at the ready any time for ‘tea time’ by stocking scone pre-mixed dry ingredients, home-made strawberry jam, heavy whipping cream, and a jar of imported Double Devon Cream (World Market) in the refrigerator. It takes just a few minutes to add cream and cut in butter to prepare a batch of warm-from-the oven scones and steep a delicious pot of loose-leaf tea. So easy… ‘tea time’ any time!

    I, like you, collected teapots which had to find new homes with our downsize. However, I LOVE chintz and kept ALL of my chintz which goes on display for the spring and summer seasons in my husband’s grandmothers’s china cabinet. I really didn’t think about my affinity for tea cups and saucers until a recent guest remarked, “So, you collect tea cups?” To which I realized that I had 7 sets (cup & saucer) displayed on shelves in our guestroom!! There’s just something special about a cup of tea served in a beautiful tea cup and saucer, and even better when poured from a lovely teapot. 🙂

    I for one did not know that I was collecting tea pots. I had two for many years and then one day I found a Puff the Magic Dragon teapot. Along the way, I had bragged about said teapot as it was really cute. I told my daughter and son as well as my best friend. I guess in my excitement, they all decided that I was collecting teapots. After five years of Christmases and birthdays, I had to sadly inform them that I really didn’t collect teapots (sigh) and that I had no more room for any more. There are now more than 35 and they were all disappointed as they thought they had found a way to make buying for me easy. LOL! No way. You have a super collection too. (yes, mine has been dubbed a collection as well).

I use them all the time for decoration and I loved your ideas and pretty displays.

    Thank you for the beautiful teapot display suggestions and those photos. Oh my, though I am wondering how to best display China so my kitties won’t be tempted. Back to my coffee and your articles.

    Over the years I have come to really love teapots. The more vintage, the better. I have a silver tea set (real silver, too!) that my mother gave to me years ago. I love polishing it and using it to grace my dresser, as that is my ode to all things French.

    I am finally learning to bake macarons – just in time for my only grandaughter’s 7th birthday. You have inspired me to retrieve my collection of teapots which have been in storage way too long. They will add a lovely ambiance to the party. Thank you for sharing your beautiful teapots!

    Teapots are a symbol of being mindful and of reflection. Very civilized and beautiful. Would you share the macaroon recipe? Always showing a meaning for order with beauty, thank you Anita?

    Years ago I started a tea pot collection and bought one at each city I traveled to. Now that I am unable to travel as much, it is wonderful to be reminded of those special memories by my lovely tea pots

    Thank you for sharing your teapots. I love to decorate with teapots, teacups and books. Give me a cup of tea and a mystery book and I am content. A little chocolate too!

    I don’t actively search for teapots and teacups anymore because I have more than enough now. Of course, I kept all of them and still love seeing them. Your post reminds me to display them in some different ways so I can enjoy them anew. Good ideas…

    I love teapots. They are such a joy just looking at them It is a good thing I do not have the space for all I want. I am downsizing and I would need a new room just to display them.

    I have hundreds of teapots, because I have lots of friends that have given them to me. I also have some that I’ve purchased from places we’ve visited. I’m now at the point of giving some of them away. Two of my friends think I need an intervention. Ha! Ha! They told me to take pictures of them so that I will always have them —but it’s not the same. Yes, they take up space over the cabinets in the kitchen, buffet hutch, on top of pieces of furniture, and in the guest bedroom. I love them all because of all the memories. I love the shapes, colors and I too have a few that are cracked or unusable. Just like me and my friends. I still keep them. It’s a fun collection that will always be special. Thank YOU for sharing your great decorating ideas.

      Darlene, that is funny! I love all of the teapots too. I’ve sold and given away a lot, so my collection is much smaller now.

    LOL – um, my entire basement and two huge china cabinets hold teapot and teacups. Seriously, I probably own at least 50 teapots and hundreds of teacups. All of them are antique.

    I have issues. I just returned from Victoria, BC and didn’t buy one. I was being so good.

    Tea accoutrements are definitive weakness in life. Some prefer gems, others purses, shoes or new clothes – give me fine antique china and I am always good to go. : – )

    Lovely post!

    I sure miss blogging, really do need to get back to doing posts again.

    Two Saturdays ago my husband found seven different shapes and sizes of silver tea pots, creamer, and sugar holders for $10.00 at a Goodwill. Yes, we bought them. They are just as fabulous as yours. Thank you for sharing yours.

    Gosh, this brought back memories of having dinner with my grandmother. She always had a teapot at the table and she drank tea everyday. I don’t have any teapots, but I would love to have at least one.
