Happy Tuesday! It is beginning to feel like spring with temperatures in the mid 70’s this week. I hope you are seeing signs where you live!
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”

As I was planning for the March edition of Tea On Tuesday’s (March 18), I had to look back on previous posts to remember all of my teapots which took a little bit of time. It hit me that I should write a blog post that would serve as my catalog of teapots. Let’s take a look at my teapot collection! All of them have not been included!
The ‘Famille Rose’ teapot is from Williams Sonoma! I just love its shape. Resisting the urge to start a small collection of this pattern for a few years, I eventually gave in.
For Mother’s Day a few years ago, RM gave me the ‘Blue Roses’ tea set and linens They were a limited edition collaboration from Victoria Magazine and April Cornell!
The Royal Albert ‘Berkeley’ set was a gift from a dear friend. I was visiting with her one morning and noticed this beautiful tea set that I had not seen before. As I was admiring its beauty, she shared that she spotted it while thrifting. A couple of weeks later she came by for coffee, and brought the tea set to me just because she knew I loved it.
Last year I discovered this majolica teapot at my Daddy’s house. Of course it was my beloved Mother’s but I never remember seeing it. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it was a gift or a purchase.
During the 90’s I collected Fitz and Floyd, most were gifts from my Sunday School Class or my sweet RM. I have several pieces of Herb Garden which are displayed in a book case!
The Blue Sky Clayworks pumpkin teapot decorated with leaves and acorns was a wonderful find at Home Goods a couple of years ago.
A Fitz and Floyd ‘Pansy Parade’ bunny teapot hopped from the bookcase to the picnic table for a spring teatime!
The sweet teapot is by Eileen’s Reserve and has served many cups of tea.
A charming spring teapot by Grace Teaware was added to the collection last year!
An Old World Santa Fitz and Floyd teapot was also a gift from my Sunday School class that I taught for many, many years! I cherish all of their gifts!
The blue and white teapot and cups first graced teatime on this exquisite embroidered table topper from Budapest!
While EM and I were shopping at TJ Maxx, she discovered the whimsical Blue Sky Clayworks mushroom teapot. Very little convincing was required after she said, “PJ, you need to buy that teapot”!
The Fitz and Floyd pheasant teapot was a gift from my RM! He buys the best gifts!
While shopping in Birmingham, I saw the lily pad teapot at Anthropologie. I knew it would be ideal for a Peter Rabbit tea party!
You all know Mary from Tea On Tuesdays and Home Is Where The Boat Is. She gifted me this darling Fitz and Floyd nutcracker teapot last December. It was perfect for a nutcracker tea party with my granddaughters!
The watermelon-colored teapot was an Amazon purchase. It definitely makes a color statement for a summer tea with zinnias!
The butterfly teapot was a Tuesday Morning purchase many years ago. It seems to be a reader favorite!
Thank you for your visit and gracious comments. Wishing you a joy-filled week!

I love this post and your ‘catalog’ Pam! ☕ So many beautiful teapots in your collection, especially the Fitz and Floyd! I’ve seen them all but had forgotten a few of them. I could never pick a favorite, but am especially smitten with your Herb Garden one. I treated myself to a new teapot from HomeGoods for our upcoming TOT post next week. Happy Tuesday. ♥
Thank you, Mary. I will be looking forward to your new teapot! 🫖☕️❤️
Pam, I always think it’s a great idea to make catalogs of collections, both for the here and now, and for the sake of inheritance, selling or keeping. Yours is beautiful amd so varied, both in how it was acquired, and in character of display! I drink tea, but have never immersed myself enough in the ritual to collect the teapots serving (but by any measure, I probably have to acknowledge I also have a collection, lol. but, most are kettles, metal based). I do love the unique and delicate craftsmanship though! I’ve always felt storage is so difficult with those highly decorative porcelains and ceramics (especially the F&F), always afraid of chipping those oh-so-delicaye edges. There’s one teapot I think you forgot, and it’s because I have it too….the Pier 1 sky blue with applied bluebird and cherry blossoms.
This post is not only full of beauty, but will be a wonderful reference when you create new posts or look backs!
Perhaps I’m wrong in my thinking you have the bluebird teapot? I second guessed myself after posting that comment!
I don’t have that particular teapot, but I know the one you are talking about. It is beautiful, I should have added it. I miss their store!
Thank you, Rita! I have my teapots stored in different places, so a catalog will be helpful to remember what I have. I didn’t share all of my teapots, (Lol)!
Wow, what a great collection! It would be hard to pick a favorite. You have the perfect one for each season and occasion, but I’ll bet the collection will have additions in the future.
You are right, Carole! I am sure I will find more!
Pam, you have a beautiful collection of teapots. Fitz and Floyd made gorgeous, detailed teapots. I always adored each one! You have a nice collection of them. My favorite though is the butterfly one at the end. I just love the colors and it makes me smile! There was a small shop in New Orleans that always had lovely, delicate teapots and your butterfly one is similar to one I saw in the window years ago. I couldn’t figure a way to get it home safely as we were headed on a cruise, so I couldn’t buy it, but I really enjoy seeing yours when you use it! Enjoy this wonderful day! Severe storms are predicted later in the week. Clara❤️
Thanks so much, Clara. I have always loved the Fitz & Floyd designs. I also love the butterfly one, I have the sugar, but was unable to acquire the creamer. We are expecting sever weather on Saturday. Enjoy your week and stay safe❤️
I thought to myself that I was positive that you had many more teapots that you wouldn’t be able to share on one post! I lov them all but must say the Famille Rose tea pot is my favorite. It is simply gorgeous. I to have a tea pot collection that I started in the 90’s. When I had to many to fit in the garden window shelves I stopped collecting. I also noticed the beautiful table clothed you used. Do you ever forget what you have until you are searching for another? That happens to me and it’s like a new gift. Glad you are feeling well enough to post again!
Thank you, Alice. I may need to do another post to include all my teapots. I know your collection must be wonderful. I lose track of tablecloths also. Wishing you a lovely week, dear one!
A beautiful collection. Hard to pick one but I am swooning over the Famille Rise from WS. A winner!
Thanks so much, Maureen. Obviously, a lot of people love the Famille Rose!
Good Morning Pam. You have a beautiful collection of tea pots. I love them all. Hugs. Kris
Thanks so much, Kris!
These are all so pretty! You must have a wonderful storage area. I love that mushroom one and the photo of the Peter Rabbit on the cabbage. That blue is so pretty too. Collections are such fun. I only have six or seven teapots, well, maybe more, but mostly I tend to use just the small ones or stick to the mugs. But when there is tea time — well, that’s when the pot comes out. I’ve even saved some that had broken lids to use as vases. Your collection covers every occasion, every color scheme, every holiday. I love it!
Thank you, Jeanie! So many were gifts, and I enjoy each and every one. They make great flower vases
Pam, this is such a great idea to create a catalog, especially for the grands. It would be hard to pick a single favorite…Famille Rose, the bunny, the Santa. Every single one is beautiful. Do you have random thoughts that pop into your head? This morning while making the bed, I had the thought “how would you describe your decorating style?” My answer was sentimental, traditional, maximalist! (I had had no coffee at that point!)
Thank you, Roxanne. I have so many random thoughts! My favorite decorating style is English Country. It is a collected look with a mix of patterns, that best describes me. I am definitely not a minimalist! Our styles are much the same!
There must be some sort of support group for those of us who are teapot deprived.
Leslie Anne, I think you will be fine. No need for a support group☺️
Oh Pam I love your teapots and alas, I have to admit, I also have a collection! I should catalog them for sure as they are all over the house. 🥴
My favorite of yours is the blue roses…simply stunning with your AC tablecloth, hydrangeas and other pretties on your table. F&F are always enjoyable and yes, I have a couple of those too. You are so fortunate that EM is so much like yourself and I’m sure she will enjoy the collection one day. My daughter on the other hand…is more of a minimalist! Ugh! Can you imagine she is from my loins? LOL and so far the grands are more boys than girls. So what can I say. Have a great and happy and blessed week my friend!💚☘️🍀💚
Thank you, Kari. I knew you had a teapot collection. Both of my granddaughters love what I have collected. But as they get older, they might change their mind! Happy week, my friend ☘️💚☘️
Oh my goodness, Pam dear, you never fail to impress with the scope and elegance of your collections….this one is no exception… I love your Mother’s
“dainty” inclusion and know your Granddaughters will thrill one day at the memories you have “collected” for them and don’t discount a Granddaughter-
in-law perhaps cut from the same cloth. You are such an inspiration and RM is certainly a keeper in the selection of ideal gifts department.
Thank you for your heart-warming sentiments, Mary! I had forgotten some of those teapots. I have more that were not included.
What a sweet post! What a great idea to have all your teapots cataloged. Especially here on your blog for your readers to see. Especially me. Lol!
Do you display your teapots? I do, in several different areas. Then let’s remember I have them in both of our houses. And they are displayed there as well. I love them all. I love all of yours too. I enjoyed that many of yours were gifts! What thoughtful gifts.
Happy Tuesday!
Thank you, Nancy. I have a few displayed in the house. I sometimes display some in the cottage. Happy rest of the week!
Such beautiful teapots! I especially love the one that looks like the tea cup you so kindly sent to me!
Thank you, Cheryl. Happy week to you!
Sweet friend, I got so excited when I saw the title of this post! One of my most favorite things is a pretty teapot. I have always had a weakness for them. You have shared such a beautiful collection with us. The bright watermelon colored one is quite striking. I love anything Fitz and Floyd, and the pheasant teapot is so pretty. I hope you are enjoying spring like weather. Have a wonderful week, dear friend!
Thanks so much! It was 78 today and so nice. We are expecting severe weather on Saturday. Wishing you a lovely spring week, dear one!
Precious Pam, what a splendid and sweet idea to have a catalog of your teapots! About the time I’d think, “That’s my favorite one!” the next one would be my favorite. There’s something about that charming spring teapot from last year that “speaks” to me (and of course the one that was your Mom’s). The lilypad and Peter Rabbit–yes! The Reader’s favorite is a beauty. The blue roses! Oh, Pam. See? I can hardly choose a favorite. You make Spring, and life, so much prettier.
I’ve missed you so much. I pray daily for all of you. I love you! God bless you all!
I am so happy you enjoyed the catalog. Thank you for your prayers. You are always in my heart and in my prayers!
Love you, my friend!
Pam, what a fun idea for a post, I love your catalog of tea pots! Each one is delightful, I’m sure you and your invited tea party guests enjoy each and every one! I can’t really pick a favorite, I have to admit!
Hoping you are enjoying a beautiful week, and some spring sunshine dear friend.
🫖☕️Xo Lidy
Thank you, Lidy! We have had a beautiful week so far, but tornados are expected this weekend. They are so frightening!
Oh my, Pam, there are so many beautiful ones to look at and cherish. I’m especially loving the blue and white ones, your Santa one from
Mary, and that adorable mushroom one. My granddaughter, Harper, loves all things mushroom and I received a mushroom platter from her family for my birthday. I enjoyed looking at all your teapots. It’s really hard to choose a favorite, isn’t it?
Thanks so much, Kitty. You have a beautiful collection of teapots, and I enjoy your posts!
SO fun! I love your teapot collection and seeing each piece in its natural habitat! Thanks for sharing your beautiful pieces!
My pleasure, thank you Barbara!
I had to chuckle at this post…my Mom-in-Law said you never need more that one of anything….LOL. I think my fetish is pitchers, but I have let a few go in the last few years, but it would look. a bit like this….LOL.
Hugs, Sandi
Thank you, Sandi. At least half of them were gifts! I would love to see your pitchers!
What beautiful teapots you have. That’s quite a collection. I used to have lots of teapots and gave most away. I did save some but when I decided to down size on STUFF, which was hard for me, I knew some of my teapots had to go. I love love your collection. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks so much, Cindy. I need to downsize on stuff!
Hugs and blessings,
Pam
Pam, what a beautiful collection of teapots you have and what a great idea to post a catalogue! I love it that each one is so unique, especially how you have showcased them on your tables. It’s difficult to choose a favorite – umm, the blue roses, the herb garden, or the butterfly one, but no matter because they are all gorgeous! I’m happy to hear that you are enjoying some nice weather and have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks so much, Kim. Wishing you a nice weekend!
A teapot collection!
You have taken me back four decades Pam to a time when I too started collecting unique teapots while living in Penang, Malaysia. Unfortunately in one of our many moves a box containing a majority of them got dropped, breaking them beyond repair. So I only have a few now but enjoy the ones I have on special occasions.
I love your Blue Roses’ tea set & tablecloth above.
Blessings sweet friend & thank you for the walk down memory lane 😊,
Jennifer
Jennifer, how sad to lose all the unique teapots you had collected in Penang. Most of mine have been gifts and love using them.
Blessings sweet friend,
Pam
Great blog post Pam! I’ll be back!
Thanks so much, Celine!
Pam, I’m late visiting as it’s been one of those weeks! I have to say, your have an extensive collection of teapots and your “catalog” has encouraged me to think about doing much the same. I need to pull all my teapots together and see exactly what I do have. I’ve admired the The ‘Famille Rose’ teapot is from Williams Sonoma since it was first offered. I have other pieces in this pattern, so seeing your teapot is a sign I need to jump in and add this one. It is truly a gorgeous shape. Thanks for the inspiration. I look forward to next weeks Tuesday Tea.
Thank you, Sarah. You are never late. I would love to see a post of your lovely teapots!
You do have such a lovely collection of teapots! I think my favorite is the one with the mushrooms. I hope you’ll come link up with Pink Sunday today at my blog!
Happy Pink Sunday!
Sarah
Thanks so much, Sarah. I appreciate your visit!
So lovely, Pam, each one more so than the last! Something about having tea calls out for pretty teapots in a way that drinking coffee does not.
Thank you, Sandra. I agree that tea calls for a pretty teapot!
Pam, as you know I lobe them all!!! I’m slowly selling my teacup collection. I decided it was time to give others the joy of collecting. I’m keeping a few precious gifts but I’m hoping to have a Facebook auction in the future. Thank you for sharing my friend. hugs!
Thanks so much, Katherine! I know your teacup collection is beautiful. Happy Spring my friend!
oh ratssss There’s a type o…I love them, not lobe them. LOL
