Instead, I found this lovely little three cup Corningware "Teamaker", brand new in its vintage box! If you have seen my little Corningware collection, you might know that I love this blue cornflower pattern, and already own the 6-cup teapot. I use it as a water kettle and it sits on my stove regularly.
It came with the original pamphlet which reads: "Let's Get Better Acquainted. Spend a few minutes reading this booklet about the Use and Care of Corningware Beverage Makers and Servers". This is actually the first time I had seen an original box, nevermind the original manual!
The great thing about vintage Corningware is its durability, so I'll be making use of this piece in my kitchen!
Great find! Fabulous being in its box! Scarlett x
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a vintage tea kettle! Awesome that you found this one with the box and manual! Gotta love that classic cornflower pattern!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely, so rare to find something in its original packaging!
ReplyDeleteThe teapot has a nice retro design-good find!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I see these regularly at the thrift with coffee/tea stains but no such problem with this teapot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find!
ReplyDeleteI found the 6-cup jug last week, and have been thinking it's a coffee pot, so it was really interesting to see the box and manual - thanks.
Hmm, it's interesting, I am not really too sure why I called it a teapot, but in our house growing up, everything was referred to as tea kettle, teapot, even if it was used for other things. Is this a Canadian thing?
