Vintage Wednesday: Teapots August 13, 2008
Every Wednesday I’ll be featuring affordable vintage pieces around the Web. (And by “around the Web,” I mean mostly Etsy.com, because it’s so much fun to dig around over there.) Below are some fantastic teapot finds. A few have been repaired, but most are under $20 and there are some fantastic deals in there.

China on the cheap: Wedgwood dinner plates August 12, 2008
Wedgwood china holds special meaning for me; I inherited part of my grandmother’s collection of Jasperware. Josiah Wedgwood first began his career at age 9 at his family’s pottery, gradually moving into his own business. In 1769 he opened his own factory in England. Although Jasperware is probably the best-known style of Wedgwood, the factory produces many styles, some in conjunction with other brands such as Martha Stewart’s Wedgwood wedding line.
If fine china’s part of your decor plans, look no further than eBay and Etsy, where listings for Wedgwood are cheap and plentiful. Here are some of the latest; clicking on the image will take you to the listing.
