Until a couple of weeks ago I thought teapots were for pouring tea from. I now consider myself enlightened, having seen the wonderful teapots Sally Meekins makes and displays in 'By George'. These are works of art in their own right, with designs ranging from the cats, cabbages and cockerels to dogs, cauliflowers and cakes, each one beautifully made and hand painted.
And Sally's talents do not end there, her intricate dolls house miniatures (which are definitely for grown-ups) are amazing in their detail, sitting on tiny dressers, looking every inch as if they are about to be used by a miniature family for afternoon tea.
Also, and I'm loathe to use the 'C' word, it not even being Halloween yet, but Sally has recently added some quaint and quirky tree decorations to her shop collection. There are snowflakes, angels and little toy soldiers in smart red tunics - all waiting for their chance to adorn a brightly lit tree.
If you want to talk teapots with Sally she can be found in 'By George' on a Monday from 10am - 2pm, or can be contacted through her website http://www.sallymeekinsceramics.co.uk/.
