More tea(pots) anyone?

I have to say, Jim can be a bit of a devil for buying stuff. Last year he decided (and I freely confess that I acquiesced, despite not being a great fan of the genre) that we really needed a Measham teapot. Now of course, they're silly money, but he found a slightly damaged one which he could repair (he's very good at repairing pottery and china), and I thought, how lovely, now we have a Measham teapot. Then he found a bigger one, with slightly worse damage (the one on the left in the photo; looks as good as new now) and I thought, well, that's very nice but perhaps rather excessively large. Then he found another teapot in a different shape and a water pot (on the right) which weren't even damaged! And I said, I really think we have enough teapots now ...

While all this was going on, I was doing my weekly round of the Newhaven charity shops, and guess what I found. Yup, the one in the middle. A nice project and only one pound fifty. Never seen one before or since in twenty years of going to jumble sales, junk shops and charity shops, but this one turned up right in the middle of our little collecting spree. Just goes to show that coincidences aren't are rare as you might think. Now we just need to get it repaired ...
