Vintage Teapots

Inspired by century-old tea kettles, vintage teapots bring classic charm to the kitchen stovetop. From enameled steel to copper, vintage teapots are made from durable materials to ensure a hot brew for the perfect cup of tea. To boil water in a stovetop kettle, fill the teapot at least halfway, or just below the spout for a successful simmer. Secure the lid and warm the pot over a medium heat. A melodic whistle signals that the water is ready to pour. When serving guests, prepare a serving tray with tea cups, a sugar bowl, creamer and teaspoons. Use a tea towel to hold the easy-grip handles and transport boiling water from the kitchen to the living room without having to wait for the kettle to cool down. For a calming cup of tea before bed, place a tea infuser with your favorite leaves in a mug, then add boiling water. Hosting a baby or bridal shower? Opt for an outdoor tea party, and serve various herbal brews alongside sandwiches and pastries on a tiered cake stand.
