Oh, THIS is one of my fave vintage teapots if I had to pick only 30 or 40? It was made by Taylor Smith & Taylor, and called "Vistosa". This was an entire line of pottery dinnerware, with some serving pieces, produced from about 1937-1943. Likely their attempt to compete with HLC's Fiesta. - ThreadSky

Love this one. Where do you store them all??

In the DIIIIIIISSSSSH DUNGEON!! Aka, the basement, unfortunately. I really hoped that when we got our own little house, I'd have more display space. But I guess it was unrealistic to think we could afford "display space" for 500+ teapots and at least as many other dishes, hahaha.

500+!!!!

It’s not a dungeon, it is a museum ❤️

I would so, SO love to display them properly. I guess I need to at least start making up little slips of paper with maker, shape, any pertinent info, so if I drop dead someone can benefit from them, LOL.

You know, that really would be a good idea, just for general purposes…

Yes. I would love to create a database with pictures and descriptions and info and condition... and have little number stickers on them... but I'm not sure where I could even find something that would work that's simple enough for my aging and increasingly tired brain to grasp. ::sigh::
