For my first teapot and tea things Tuesday, I’d like to show you a teapot that belonged to my Mom. She received it as a gift from her older sister Betty around 1950. I carried this beauty home by airplane after Mom insisted that I take it during one of our last visits together and I treasure it.
It was made by Arthur Wood in England. It is such a pretty pink, white and gold color.
Since it is marked Arthur Wood it was probably made sometime between 1904-1928. I have read that the name changed to Arthur Wood & Sons in 1928. It looks like the pattern is 5401 or Athans, but I have not been able to find any information.

Hello ParTea Lady!!
What a charming teapot! What could be sweeter than the perfect pink with a bit of gold! And even sweeter that it carries special memories of your mother too.
And it goes without saying that a teacup with pink roses is the best kind of teacup :-)
Thanks for sharing your special treasures!
Hugs and Smiles,

Gorgeous tea pot! The shape and the colors are adorable. Your tea cup and saucer set is also very pretty. I published the answer to the mermaid question in the post succeeding the mermaid luncheon....Christine

What a gorgeous tea pot and tea cup! I have a Jewel Tea "Aladdin" shaped tea pot similar to yours, but it has the oranges and browns on it. I really like the pink one!

The teapot is so special, and the teacup is beautiful.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw your mom's teapot. The colours and the lines are classic. What a special treaure.
We all loved seeing it.
Thank you for taking the time to share it. Also loved your "Tea and Toast"

That teapot is just breathtakingly beautiful-you are so lucky to have it.
Best wishes for a lovely weekend,

LOVELY tea things! That teapot is just my favorite, though. Never seen anything like its beauty in all that pinkness! I think I have a few Duchess pieces (though not in your gorgeous design, alas), so I'm glad for the history info on them.
