Such a handsome Sadler teapot, vintage, great character. Brown Betty with gold accents, roses and pastel flowers.
Just the style I love to find while out thrifting.
Setting it into the backseat - the spout fell off. It had been glued on and I hadn't noticed. Usually I check the spout, rim and base for chips. Never thought to check the spout join.
Looked at the teapot for a day or so and decided it needed a goodbye to its original use with dignity. My Thanksgiving bouquet needed to be redone. A small juice glass, vintage metal flower frog, my clippers and the flowers turned the teapot
into a vignette with the old chiming clock.
I may reattach the spout another day.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful before...and gorgeous after!! I love your creativity!! I found a lidless, gorgeous teapot for a quarter not long ago...had visions of various uses but it has been used for a creamer ever since I bought it. Such a perfect size & so darned pretty that I enjoy using it! 😊 Love those bargains, don't we?!
ReplyDeleteWhat great treasures! Thanx for sharing them at THT!
ReplyDeleteGreat floral arrangement! You can see you really have a talent for design.
ReplyDeleteLovely repurpose for the teapot. I am glad you decided to love it warts and all!

What do they say if you end up with lemons make lemoade yours turn out great. The flowers looked great in the teapot.

Too bad about the spout, but I love how you still found a purpose - it's a great teapot!
ReplyDeleteGreat repurpose..lovely! I love Gerbers.
ReplyDeleteRepurposing at its finest! I'm really liking it as a vase now. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely teapot! And a great repurpose :) Have a wonderful day!

Great re-purposing of this beautiful teapot into a vase! I'm sure it's quite happy at having a second chance at "life".
ReplyDeleteA creative idea to use this beautiful teapot as a vase! I might try to find one alike from a flea market to this purpose :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the teapot and would have picked it up as well. So glad you are so talented and could repurpose a lovely item! What a wonderful vase and arrangement! Happy VTT!
ReplyDeleteRuth
That's a great idea! This way you can still enjoy that lovely teapot!
ReplyDeleteVery good idea turning the broken pot into a love flower arrangement.
ReplyDeleteYour teapot is lovely! I am glad you re purposed it vs throwing it away!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very lovely teapot. It looks terrific in your vignette....and once the spout is glued back on, we'll never tell anyone your secret ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT!
How wonderful that you turned it into another "something" of beauty rather than sitting it into the discard pile. :)

A gorgeous Sadler teapot you have! The vignette looks so lovely! Thank you for sharing at TTF! Have a fun weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love it Joy. The teapot is wonderful! Love the colors and the roses. Using it as a vase was a clever idea. I would definately glue the spot back on someday. I just bought a frog just like that one yesterday. Thanks for sharing your creativity with SYC.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
