Swan "The Carlton" Teapot

Made in England

A note from Sharon on Monday 22nd May 2006
"This was my Mother's
and I brought it back from Adelaide after she died in 2001

It came with a nice tea cosy too

I don't know how long she had it or where it came from
I do know that it was around before we were married (January 1975)
as I remember it sitting on the table!!
It is an eight cup teapot and there was lots of tea drunk in our house!!

We don't use it now - 'Tea Bags were the ruination of Tea Pots'
but it is nice to have because of the memories"

Auction #09

Vintage Swan Brand Aluminium and Bakelite Teapot
Shabby chic!!
You are bidding on this sweet little vintage tea pot
Made in England by Swan Brand, and named 'The Carlton' two cup pot
I would think of it more as a one mug pot, but this lovely little pot
came from a time when dainty little cups of tea where the thing!!
This pot is made of aluminium and has bakelite handles
I believe it dates to around the 1940's
This little tea pot has had a bit of use, and has some tea staining on the inside
And a few little dings on the outside, but overall it is completely charming
The collector of vintage kitchenalia will adore it!!
Item location - Beautiful Lake Macquarie, NSW Australia
