The Silver Lady

One of our favorite finds...

we call her

 The Silver Lady

She's got curves

and gorgeous detail...

Just look at this etching on her side!

It looks as if you could put 

a monogram right there in the center...

Look at the detail on the base of the handle.....

 On each foot of the pot is a man...

oh the craftsmanship!!

1886

Meriden B Company

We searched around (thank heavens for the internet!)

and found out that this mark from the Meriden Britannia Company indicates that 

this tea/coffee pot was made between 1877-1898

We don't care if she's tarnished...

she's adorable ~ quite the proper lady to invite to a tea :)

"Come, let us have some tea 

and continue to talk about happy things."

And then, there was three...

This little teapot is one of my favorite junkin' finds.

Not only did I immediately fall for it's cute floral print, but I loved the narrow shape of it.

Then after checking out the bottom

(like any good junker would do;0)

I realized that this teapot once supported a war.

A short while latter I was out junkin' again I spotted this plate.

Such a pretty plate... and it reminded me of a certain teapot.... (not to mention I am a plate addict), so it came home with me.

Although different... these two make a great pair!

Then shortly there after while junkin' once again, this pretty bowl begs to be adopted as well.

I can be a bowl addict as well, 

not to mention that those flowers

that reminded me of a plate...

which reminded me of a teapot...

A great trio, Id' say!
