Cardew Designs Tea Ware

Paul Cardew has designed some of the most collectible teapots around.  I don’t own one of his teapots, but I did find this neat crossword tin, mug and coaster set at a bargain price (Ross or Marshalls) of $3.99.

P7240740 I like the contemporary looking black and white design with the crossword blanks filled in with tea related words (although I do see java in there).

P7240738It’s always nice to have a matching coaster.

P7240737There is a Novel-Tea teapot in his line that features a book pattern with little books on the lid and his Patchwork design would be perfect for my quilting friends.  Many teapot designs come with matching pieces including creamer, sugar bowl, cups, coasters, etc. 

P7240739  Check out his teapot designs at the Paul Cardew website.  They are really fun.

  1. This is cute, I saw one at Ross, but didn't look at it closely to see the words have to do with tea. I thought it was just for crossword puzzle lovers!

  2. This reminds me of my Scrabble mug with the tea words. I'll be visiting my Ross store shortly ... thanks!
