My Teapots
Here is a look at some of my Teapots.
Like my Steam Gauges and My Hockey Cards not for everyone. However a part of history.
This is a group of some highlights from my collection of Teapots. In front are Tea Bowls that are handless teacups from the mid to late ca1700s. These range from the center Neptune cup ca.1755 to ca.1775.

editor's collection This is a fine ca.1750 Bourdaloue. It is very welcome in my collection. Obviously not a teapot but a very nice bonus pic for this page. A Bourdaloue is a very special form of chamber pot used by ladies of the 17th and 18th century. It is the MOTTAHEDEH TOBACCO LEAF Pattern probably for export to the Portuguese market. You will notice in the next pic that the shape of the Bourdaloue perfectly fits the female form. This was because high end ladies that wore layers of dresses and hoops and whatever during that period in history found it very difficult to have to remove everything when nature called. Your ladies in waiting would help lift this item into place and then discretely dispose of it whether in church, opera or in a carriage very rare and cool item. I am still allowed to display this piece on our sideboard but my wife is still against it......... For more on this item check out an article by these girls, it is an interesting site |
