Staffordshire Hamlet Teapot

Toward the end of an auction ......if it is getting late... or if the auctioneer just wants to...he will "bundle" several boxes together.  I bid on a box with some items in it that I wanted,  but I also had to take the other two boxes that were included.   I usually donate unwanted items to a local charity,  but I take time to go thru the boxes hunting for "treasures".  This sweet teapot was buried at the bottom of one of my "bundle" boxes.

Isn't it cute......
It had a little booklet in it,  showing other teapots with a similar theme.....
The bottom has a little Hamlet history printed on it......
I can't wait for Kyleigh and I to serve tea in it at one of our tea partys!

  13. Sometime please have a posting about auctions how to find them, how to participate etc. I would love to attend and perhaps have finds like yours, but I don't know a thing about auctions. I think there may be some here in Alabama, but I'm not sure.
