Welcome to Blue Monday! This event is hosted by Sally at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/. This is the day we participants post something Blue! Go over and check out all the Blueness and then come play along!Today I would like to show you one of my teapots. This is a Currier and Ives blue and white teapot by Royal China. I've had this for many years along with so many of the dishes which I've collected for over 20 years.
I just love the shape of this teapot, but mostly, I love the designs on it!
This is the little lid with a lighthouse surrounded by waves and a rocky shore.
Look at all the details on the top.
The sides hold a picture of this lovely clipper ship.
See the scrolling on the spout? It's also on the handle, too! So much attention to detail!
Hope you like my little blue and white Currier and Ives teapot! I certainly do and will glady service you some tea from it anytime you want to pop in for a visit!
Now go on over to Sally's and check out the Blue!!
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
"No Sugar Tonite"
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
~ sung by The Guess Who (abbreviated version ;)

What a sweet little tea pot. I am a big tea drinker and have a small collection of pots, some were sent to me from England by my sister during the years that she lived there. Those are very special to me.
ReplyDeleteOh pretty! I have some blue ware too....I need to find something blue and start playing along with you girls on some of these...I really enjoy looking at everyone's treasures!

Hello dear Sheila, I do love your Courier and Ives tea pot and your other pieces as well. The detail is wonderful. I would love to have tea with you. smile.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comments about my aunt and my story today. She is so special to my family. Out of ten children there are three still living.
I hate to see them getting up there in age. Such is life.
Loved your little song today as always.
Hugs...Jeanne
Morning Shelia,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blue/white teapot set. It is just gorgeous!!! At some point when we go to Houston for a visit...I would love to come over and have tea with you!!!!
Good Morning Shelia
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful. I haven't seen an unusual shaped teapot like that one before. What a treasure. The details are really something too. Thank you for sharing on Blue Monday.
Have a lovely day.

Hi Shelia...That teapot is a real treasure...I don't think I've ever seen that pretty pattern before. Have a splendid day! ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty nautical blue treasures! Hope you're having a marvelous Monday!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful pattern. You are right about the attention to detail being amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting "No Sugar Tonight" in my ear this morning. I haven't thought about that song in a while and I like it.
I do believe that little teapot needs to come live at my house to go with my blue pictures of Maine. Happy blue Monday! Sally
ReplyDeleteThe Currier and Ives teapot is lovely. I enjoyed the way that you pointed out the details. Also - cute song. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteSweetie
Hi Shelia, I love your teapot..and anything that is blue and white..Have a good day. Hugs..Baba
ReplyDeleteYou do have the most beautiful dishes! I love decorating with blue, one of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteI love your teapot. In all my currier and ives things I don't have a teapot, but I have the sugar and creamer set. Two of them I think. But the picture is not the same as yours. Actually each thing has a different picture. I just checked. May have to do a blue post on the sugar and creamer set.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Shelia, that is gorgeous. I love Currier & Ives and I've never seen that one. Thank you for showing us all of the detail. ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteHi Shiela, I love all your blue pretties! Thanks for showing us and its a perfect post for Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteLove, Ann
Love these with a theme of the sea. lovely. I just love this type of things, and yours are great. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteYour teapot goes with my picture! Have a Happy Blue Monday! ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteLoved the gorgeous dishes with the blue decorations!
ReplyDeleteI love this piece, Shelia. It makes me think of faraway voyages to exotic and beautiful lands.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful china!! Love the colors, design, and detail.
ReplyDeleteI used to hate blue. Can you believe it? And now it's all throughout my house. So funny how my tastes have changed.
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE it! It is so beautiful. I am afraid that I am coveting over your lovely little teapot. But then, since having a hubby in the Coast Guard, I have a thing for lighthouses and ocean motives.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing I really am jealous.
*hugs*
Hi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteYour blue and white teapot is beautiful. What a wonderful treasure for you to have in your collection. The details on those antique teapots is amazing.
Happy Blue Monday!!
I really do like your teapot! So lovely. I think I've seen green and white similar pattern but not a teapot! Very cool...
ReplyDeleteBlue is pretty, but I still want my mondays, and tuesdays, and my whole week to be pink! :)
ReplyDeleteHugs to you my dear lady!

Good afternoon Sheila,
ReplyDeleteI just love your little teapot. I can see why you love it so much. It has blue for the ocean, ships, even a lighthouse, and there you are living so close to the sea. Very beautiful. Happy Blue Monday!
What a beautful teapot. I love sitting down to real afternoon teas with cups and saucers and teapots. Usually I have them stored in the cupboard but lately I have been taking them out and using them far more often. Love the design too - its quite unusual. the colour blue always reminds me of the sea too. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday to you, dear Shelia!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say...fantastic!
I love the shape of the teapot as well as the intricate details in the paintings!
ReplyDeleteHello Sitsa! How are you doing? Nice photos of the porcelains huh..blueness! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Pickle! That is a beautiful little teapot and such a pretty set of treasures...hope you had a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely teapot! You know I am loving the blue!
ReplyDeleteKady
That is a special piece of china for sure. I love Currier and Ives dishes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful post.
Hugs.
I love your teapot, especially the lighthouse on the lid. I did not know that Guess Who song so I listened to it on You Tube.
ReplyDeleteOoohhhh..I love the teapot..it's just beautiful.
