Description

A delightful Paul Cardew “Teddy Bears Picnic” tiny teapot, measuring just 4.5cm high and complete with its original Cardew Design box. This miniature collector’s piece captures a cheerful woodland picnic in wonderfully small scale.

The teapot body resembles a tree stump, with richly textured brown and tan bark detailing carried through to the branch-like spout and handle. On top, golden-toned teddy bears gather around a red-and-white checked picnic cloth, creating a playful scene full of storybook charm.

Its tiny proportions make it a lovely piece for a miniature display or a Cardew collection, while the illustrated original box adds another touch of nostalgia. Imagine it tucked among your favourite small treasures, a little woodland picnic waiting to be discovered. There are other Cardew Tiny Teapots in the series to collect.

Handcrafted in Deepest Devon: The Cardew Teapot Tradition

The wording on the box base describes its origins and collecting heritage:

“This handcrafted teapot was designed by Paul Cardew and produced in his pottery in deepest Devon, England. Cardew teapots carry on a 300 year old English tradition started some say by Josiah Wedgewood. Today, like all Cardew teapots they have become a collectors favourite.”

Please study the photographs for the condition of both the tiny teapot and its original box.
