The Collectible Teapot & Tea Calendar [With Postcard]

It's time for tea! Now in its 16th successful year, "The Collectible Teapot & Tea Calendar" is a charming and beloved homage to afternoon tea-the friendship, the gossip, the dainty sandwiches and enticing sweets, and, of course, the beautiful teapots that make the table. On each month's spread is a lovely teatime setting. Purple violets vow "I love you" on a hand-painted Lefton teapot. A homey gray and blue Villeroy & Boch tea set invites visitors to stay for a cup of tea. And, elegant swans take flight on a gold-rimmed Nippon teapot from the early 20th century. Irresistible tidbits of history and lore from food writer Joni Miller accompany the photographs.
