A teapot that doesn’t drip when it pours; that is the best kind of teapot and so hard to find.
and it’s true.
it. does. not.
glorious
My very precious Susie Cooper teapot has little tea drops painted on the underside of the spout, which is very cute, because it is the most drip less teapot I have ever met.
LOVE susie cooper.
didn’t she sell through Heals in the 1930s?
Possibly. I don’t know for sure but her work was selected for the Festival of Britain and Heal’s was involved with that.
