Vintage Scandinavian Design Teapots by Kaj Franck

Since I'm famous for being a tea-obsessed lady, I have an itch to find some vintage teapots. Kaj Franck is well known for his ceramic work. Lots of the items are typically very simple, but he also did a few Arabic designs.

These are some of my favorite teapots. They are just gorgeous!

Typically, I do not like roses, but I can picture using this Floral Enamel Kettle Teapot. It's great for this time of year and is incredibly elegant. The artistic style of the flowers is just glorious.

To me, this mid century yellow floral teapot just screams summertime! The fresh and bright green leafy designs really liven up this ceramic teapot. I prefer this shade of yellow over a true yellow. It just brings a bit of happiness to it!

This Kaj Franck kettle has the best of both worlds. The art of the rose is very pretty and I love teal! The design that envelops the bottom of the teapot is really cool! You can just tell it is from Finland. This is clearly similar to a Finnish textile design.

If you're an earthy person, this Arabia brown enamel kettle is a great option for you! I really like the spiral designs it has similarities to a henna tattoo. The quality of this vintage teapot looks almost brand new. That shine is unbelievable!

This Kaj Franck red teapot looks like a stunning blanket was imprinted on it. This design is so fun and definitely shows where it comes from culturally. This kettle is also in fabulous condition. I'm almost afraid of ruining it.

Take a look at other amazing Kaj Franck teapots on Etsy. These designs are unique. Check them out and let me know what you think of these vintage teapots!

Whimsical Retro-Inspired Teapots from Blue Sky Clayworks

You’ve heard it before, but I’m going to say it again, I LOVE tea! I have such a hard time not buying anything and everything related to tea. You can probably imagine my excitement when I saw these Retro-Inspired Teapots from Blue Sky Clayworks on Etsy. These are so cute and unique I had to show you guys. The store is fairly new too, so over time there should be lots of new products! Come take a look.

My favorite out of all the teapots is this Roller Skate Tea Pot. I think it’s probably because they took away my favorite skating rink not too long ago! Have you guys seen a teapot like this one? I don’t think I have. Plus it brings me back to the good times when I was a kid. I used to stay out really late at night roller skating around my neighborhood. Plus some of my greatest dates were at a roller rink! I can’t pick what color I want, because I love both of them.

This Crown Teapot is really cute. I do like teapots with a lot of texture. Again, I really enjoy both the blue and the pink so it would be a hard choice. Unfortunately, I’ve seen lots of teapots like this one, so it’s not my first pick.

I about died when I saw this Typewriter Teapot. This is one of a kind for sure. Writing, tea, and retro all combines makes one amazing product! This is just calling out my name. The only problem I have is that is seems like it would handle awkwardly. Though, I know if I was determined, I could overcome the shape. No one would ever expect this to be a teapot!

I am going let you all in a little secret, I absolutely love bulldogs. This Classic American Bulldog Teapot is very precious. The teapot might be the closest thing to having a bulldog because I travel too much to own a dog.

Check out these Retro-Inspired Teapots from Blue Sky Clayworks. Which style is your favorite? Keep in mind, this is a new store. New styles and designs are bound to come out in the future, so keep an eye out!
