Birds and Blossoms Teapot

Add the sweetness of an Irish garden to your teatime with this lovely, handdecorated tea set, inspired by chintz fabric designs popular in 18th-century Britain. The birds, blossoms and butterflies owe their bright, clear colors to high manufacturing standards, including only the best raw materials, kiln-fired at high temperatures. The large creamer (called a half-pint cream jug) holds enough milk or cream to keep Irish tea drinkers happy. Fine china from a family-owned pottery in Shannonbridge, Ireland—named for the bridge built there in 1759. Teapot: holds one quart (32 oz); Creamer: 8 oz; Covered Sugar Bowl: 8 oz; Mug: 8 oz; tankard handle.
