Diary of a Teapot Collector » 2005 » November

‘Nana Did It!’ by Peggy Ann Turner

Hello Tea Pot Lovers! This is my first article for the Cardew website. I thought I’d introduce myself, and how my Tea Pot mania began.

I’m the daughter of a WW2 British War Bride. She hailed from London, but my Tennessee GI Daddy met Mom in Dorset. His unit was headed south. Momma was a Land Girl, and her hostel was invited to a dance that the GI’s Company was hosting. So there you are! I arrived in 1951.

July 2005 - ‘T-6′ Six teapot designers gather at the Cardew Collectors Day

On the Friday night some of the collectors managed to make it to the barbeque. Paul did a lovely job as chef. Everyone had a good time at the T6 open day. Paul gave the collectors a vote on what colour the final ‘Fairy Infusion’ was going to be.

If you were lucky enough to have a tour of the Design Studio, you got a chance to see the new range of ‘Wallace and Gromit’ items and the newly revamped Nat West pig family that Paul has designed for ‘Enesco’.
