Every now and then, I run across a teapot that has lost its lid, usually through breakage. Many of the teapots are discontinued and a replacement cannot be found.. Such was the case with this sweet teapot decorated with purple and yellow pansies. It captured my heart and I just had to take it home. I thought about trying to find a similar lid, but decided it would serve another purpose without the effort—it would make a beautiful centerpiece! Just add fresh or silk pansies and ivy. Too sweet!

Arthur Wood and Sons teapot, no lid. Pattern #6496. Bone China. Made in Staffordshire, England. Mint condition.
