Take 7: Teapots

Laura Ashley

Elegant, chic, graceful best describe Laura Ashley accessories and this teapot is no exception. With a detachable bottom to keep tea heated, not only is this porcelain beauty practical, it looks as though it belongs in an extravagant conservatory with a wet garden and a couple sitting around a table enjoying the view.

Price: £20

More Bo

If your afternoon tea involves you and three or four friends, then maybe you need something a bit bigger than your standard teapot. This eye-catching, modern one is one of the biggest in our selection and is suitable for those of you who love taking care of your guests and like to do so in a more down-to-earth yet still glamorous manner. Designed by Sia, the teapot also comes with a set of teacups and is available in white.

Price: £30

Zone Denmark

The Zone stores specialise in kitchen and bathroom accessories and their range of teapots is possibly the biggest I’ve seen in Cyprus. Stainless steel ones seem to be quite popular, but I think nothing can beat a porcelain teapot looking every inch the traditional type we’re all so used to. This one, painted by a famous artist, is seasonal with the black bare tree design contrasting with the white background. The handle, made of steel, is definitely reminiscent of old, bulky teapots you see in the movies and with a price tag like that, you can’t go wrong! Overall, a teapot with a lot of character! Set of teacups is also available.
Price: £16

Debenhams

Of course, not everyone likes flashy designs and colours splashed all over their teapots, so Debenhams is here to cater for you. Classic, simple but with a bit of a twist, you might say, this all white teapot available at Debenhams has more depth than the others. It also comes with a tea set including creamer.
Price: £14

Marks & Spencer Home

Another favourite in the home department, Marks and Spencer offers a range of beautiful sets made up of sugar bowls, creamers, cups in all shapes and sizes and of course teapots. This fine china one boasts an eye-catching design and good proportions and is large enough to cater for all your visitors without you running back to the kitchen for a refill.

Price: £25

Zara Home

If Zara Home is brilliant at anything, it has to be their range of glasses, cups and plates. These are always original and stunningly designed. This gorgeous white and gold trimmed teapot has an attitude. Standing at a different level to the rest of our selection, this teapot oozes elegance. It’s not meant for outside and it’s not probably even meant for your afternoon tea. It’s meant to make your visitors drool. And of course, you don’t have to tell them the actual price because no one would guess anyway! Matching tea set also available.

Octopus

I first spotted Octopus on a shopping trip to Athens and was instantly met with a deep desire to buy, buy and buy. From clocks to ashtrays, if you’re looking for something different yet fun for your home, you should definitely check this shop out. Even their teapots scream style and brilliance. I mean, look at this one: it’s a duck! How cute is that? Made out of stainless steel.
