The Teapot Shoppe Blog

Due to the high volume of orders we’ve received over the past three months, our Customer Service Department has been overwhelmed with phone calls.  We appreciate your patience and want to take this moment to reassure you that your business is important to us.  As an effort to improve our customer service, we are working hard to ensure a speedier response time to your questions and concerns.   Within 48 hours of an order being placed, our Customer Service Representative will contact you if an item is discontinued.  At this time you will be given the opportunity to order a replacement or cancel your order.  Also, if you need assistance in placing an order, or checking on the status of an order, please give us a call at 1-866-380-0815.

With so many patterns, shapes, and color combinations, making the decision to buy can be disheartening. There are teasets for four, two, one, and so on….and in so many patterns. Consider how you will use the set. Will it be for parties or quiet afternoon tea with a spouse. Royal Patrician has introduced several lovely bone china tea sets that include a chrome tray, teapot, 2 cups and saucers, a creamer and sugar, and 2 gold teaspoons. Or, you may want a slightly larger set with 4 cups and saucers. Porcelain tea sets are also fashionable and come in a variety of colors and shapes, some with gold trim and other beautifully plain in solid white. Whatever you choose, handwashing is probably the best way to make your set last, along with pre-warming the pot with warm water before adding the hot tea. Choose a set that coordinates with your favorite color scheme and enjoy….

We are excited about a new line of porcelain teapots and tea ware that we are beginning to add to the The Teapot Shoppe now.

Chocolate Pots have a long history, and demand continues to grow for quality bone china pots in elegant patterns. Royal Patrician has filled the need in 2007 with the introduction of quality chocolate pots available alone or in a set with 2 mugs, 2 teaspoons, and a chrome tray. What better way to enjoy an afternoon than to sip on hot chocolate served in bone china accutrements. The sets are available in the best-selling patterns of Aurora Chocolate Pots, Guinivere, Pansy, and Summertime Rose, all timeless designs that are never outdated. This is a great gift item for any bride, mother, or special friend.

Royal Patrician, maker of fine English teaware, introduced four new stunning patterns in January of 2007. “Misty Rose” is a chintz pattern that features contrasting pink and yellow rose blooms with white and gold accent. “Poppy Bouquet” is a bright, eye-catching pattern tha features delightful red and white poppy bouquets on a white background and gold accent. “Fuschia” is another striking patter based on white bone china with the fuschia flower that is rarely used in china patterns. Finally, “Mayfair‘ is a classic pattern perfect for any decor. It is sure to become a favorite among tea ware collectors with its radiant swirl pattern. All three patterns include teapots in two sizes, trays, cups, saucers, dessert plates, creamer and sugar, and mugs.

Also new for 2007 are the ornate Victorian Styled teapots in the Aurora, Rose Garden and Sweet Pea pattern. These are so elegant, you will want to display them in a china cabinet where everyone can see them.

Whether you prefer contemporary decor or traditional, white china can play an important role as an accent color. Easily shifting from elegant to casual, white porcelain or bone china accessories can be stunning on a pastel, jewel-toned, or neutral background. Colors can be introduced in the form of linens or accent plates for a crisp look. Tiered servers and pedestal cake stands in white make appetizers or sweets appealing. Treat your tablescape to a crisp and refreshing look by combining white with your favorite color and enjoy the view.
