Teapost

I'm a little teapot, hear me shout
here's my handle, here's my spout.

It is a meme if we all do it, isn't it? Inspired by dadi and idahoswede, here's my addition to the wonderful tea-meme.

I live in a country of mostly-coffee-drinkers, it seems. At least, I get the feeling when I check the local china shops and find mostly coffee pots and only the occasional teapot, which is then more often than not white with blue flowers. There's one shop here which specializes in high-quality high-priced things for the discerning customer - I mean, houseware, kitchenware, things used to decorate your house with, expensive toys, and the sort of knick-knacks you buy when you either collect them or have more money than you know what to do with or both. A sort of German nano-Harrods. Now there were teapots I could imagine buying! Such as a very nice Meissen set or two, and the Wedgewood they had wasn't bad either. One day, when I am rich and maybe famous, I shall go there and shop.

Luckily, there is eBay, and also shops here which specialize in tea and tea-making utensils, and I found nice things. Though I will hold off on buying them for the moment.
Meanwhile, I have appropriated my mum's old two-cup teapot, which was a present from me years ago when she complained that her colleagues at work were only ever drinking very strong coffee. She took it to work and was happy, so it was a good present. Since she's not working any more, the pot has been relaxing in a cupboard, but no longer!
