Design Porn: Stanhope Teapot


I haven't lost my marbles just yet; I know £228 is a ludicrous price for a teapot (are you listening, Anthropologie?) But I don't remember when I was this impressed with something so flamboyant and silly. It's like an Alice in Wonderland Mad hatter's tea set, but it's all in one pot!

It doesn't really matter that I can't afford it (or that I'm more of a mug of tea girl rather than pots and cups). It doesn't matter that it wouldn't fit on any of the shelves in my kitchen. It's made me smile this afternoon. A great big beaming smile because it's such a gorgeous piece of silliness. Quirky design makes me happy, even if spending over two-hundred quid on a teapot is as mad as a Mad Hatter.

  2. Omg, omg, omg. Just found your site (love it) and saw a tiny thumbnail of this teapot, so of course I had to click through...it is probably the best thing I've seen all week. Thanks for sharing it!
