I'm not alone, when I say "I love teapots".
I've never met a teapot, I didn't like.
All shapes and sizes, earthenware, and fine bone china.

Some of my favorite teapots are considered collectors' teapots, "themed" from English landmarks, and famous characters. They are James Sadler teapots, and can be quite whimsical in nature.
James Sadler was founded in 1882, and is one of the leading manufacturers of teapots in the UK. It began with James Sadler, who built a factory in Burslem at the heart of the ceramic industry in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. He went on to make a name for himself by making fine earthenware teapots.
I'm always on the look-out for a new teapot to add to the collection.

What a lovely collection of teapots you have. Tea tastes so much better from a pot rather than a teabag, although I must confess I use a bag most of the time.

They are so wonderfully created. Even an adult could put a little whimsy in tea time and just relax.
My mother at one time collected teapots. You have a nice collection..especially since you're a tea drinker.
Hope you're getting some cool breezes.
I'm loving those three teapots!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

its all your fault, my hubby will have to listen to I'm a little teapot all day, when I saw the title i started hummming and singing it. we sung that song for years when I worked in my aunts day care center, they loved it and the hand motions. lovely tea pots
I have a collection of teapots, too, Jo. They are a beautiful and fun thing to collect, aren't they? I haven't added to my collection in years, though. You make me want to go dust and arrange them! :)

How utterly charming the teapots in your photo are! I've never heard of James Sadler but his teapots are wonderful! Lucky you to have several!
Teapots are near and dear to my heart, too, and I have several that I love.
Hugs!
These are beautiful teapots. I can understand why you collect them.
Oh what a neat Teapot collection you have, Jo. I would love to see each one of them --in separate pictures sometime. I don't collect them--but love seeing them.
Hugs,
Betsy
I'm with you there. I have a collection too and boy I do love that Alice In Wonderland teapot you have. It is adorable. I will have to post my collection soon. My favorite tea in my teapots is camomile tea. My grandmother never put soap and water in her teapots to clean them. Only steaming hot water. She said if you added soap no matter how much you rinsed it would ruin the next cup. She was a wise woman so I only use hot water. Enjoy your tea, Hugs, Deb
