Cannot believe we are already in October - where did that creep up from? I'm still waiting for the summer which never arrived!
It's time to pack away those flip flops, shorts and vest tops because at this time of year it's all about switching on the central heating, wearing a big fat jumper and snuggling on the sofa with a cup of tea.
My friends visited me yesterday and it was tea for everyone so I pulled out my one and only teapot. It's a pretty fancy Stellar teapot but it wasn't up to the job because it only held 3 cups in it. So I have been on the lookout for a much larger teapot to cater for more people who love a brew when they drop by.
Here's some of my favourite picks and there are quite a few, I think I have covered every style and taste there is possible.
Grab a pack of digestive biscuits and get dunking!

Fully rounded
These are great breakfast teapots which will look great on your table in the morning alongside the toast and morning newspaper. |
Retro Print
Now if you are like me, you love a bit of print and something more eye-catching. All of these are super stylish and can proudly be kept on show for all to see.
Here's my handle, here's my spout
How gorgeous are these? These are for the girl who likes a bit of pretty on her table. These look so delicate and elegant, they really are perfect for a spot of tea and a cream scone.

True Blue
I do love a blue teapot, probably because they remind me of my Grandma's blue & white stripy pot, and she made the best tea ever! A blue teapot doesn't seem to date and sits nicely alongside the most important drinking vessel - the mug!
Rich Tea
For the more extravagant person, some of these are quite pricey but my goodness they look very fancy-schmancy. Nothing more opulent than a posh silver teapot. |

Ladies Who Do Tea
If you have friends over in the morning for a slice of cake and a bit of a catch-up (it's a regular thing me and my friends do) then here's the perfect pots for you. These would look great on my table when I serve up some lemon drizzle cake.

Manly tea
I don't suppose many men are keen to pull out the best china and a floral teapot when their friends come over so I found these more masculine looking teapots. These four teapots would not look out of place in a batchelor pad.
