Retro butterfly teapot by Gone To Pot

Butterfly teapot

Proving that a good design will work on a variety of forms, this butterfly teapot is decorated with a pattern based on a 1950s textile design. 

Made by hand by Gone To Pot, a Texas-based maker, the pattern is reproduced using an underglaze pencil and stain drawing, the diamond and butterfly shapes of the design adapting well to the curve of the pot. And, although the shape is less traditional than the British teapots we featured on Tuesday, it successfully fulfils the task of holding enough tea for two cups. Time to put the kettle on…

This pot costs $60.
