Corningware 3-Cup Teapot New in Box

Now that Springtime is here, it seems that all the annual rummage sales and church thrift fairs are in full swing. I showed up fairly late to one on the weekend, expecting it to have been picked clean.


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!

  6. What a great find!
    I 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.

  7. 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?
