Arabia Finland teapot

Bottoms Up!

MMMC please cover your eyes now.

A long time  ago in another galaxy, Mr EM's late mother broke my adorable Arabia Ulla Procope white teapot received as a wedding present. I was very upset as I loved it. She kindly replaced it with a similar oriental teapot but then broke that as well. 

Many years passed, our babies grew up and left home and then Mr EM found a replacement beautiful Arabia teapot in a French vide grenier/brocante market. I was delighted, though by then we had stopped using leaf tea and resorted to teabags in mugs - Oh the shame. But I adore that teapot as a sculpture and design work of art.

Then a couple of years ago, Mr EM broke my equally adorable Arabia Cow milk jug. WTF. 

So shamed he scoured antique and flea markets and the internet. But he was shocked at the prices asked or made that he couldn't bring himself to bid ( he is Scottish after all). Eventually he bought me the beautiful teapot in the photo above.  Not quite the very useful cow jug, but very beautiful and I adore it. 

Of course he is absolutely forbidden to touch either of my Arabia teapots and is still charged with finding a replacement cow jug.

MMMC please don't leave blogging. I have some wise legal advice but it will cost. Hahaha - that's the world you've entered. Here's a freebie - stick on the fence.
