我愛茶壺
不論是英國或歐陸的老牌瓷器茶壺我都喜愛，尤其是質感精緻及設計獨到的款式我都想要收藏。不過今天這二款茶壺算是比較簡樸而厚重的，稱不上是精緻質感，但大概因為有緣，加上便宜，也入了我的茶壺收藏之列。
第一個茶壺是英國Churchill品牌，這個品牌是英國老牌瓷器少數到現在仍存活的，英國Churchill品牌創於1795年，迄今已二百多年，以下是她的官網介紹: (http://www.churchill1795.com/content/about-us):
Churchill 1795 – Churchill prides itself on delivering innovative, high
performance products to an ever changing, global market place. Our priority
lies with the offering of a total tabletop solution to a market which demands
the best results from its tableware.
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high quality ceramic
tableware, Churchill has a long history of bringing the highest quality
products to the hospitality industry. Based in the heart of the Potteries since
1795 as one of its constituent companies, Sampson Bridgwood, Churchill has
progressively developed, building a strong reputation as an innovative and
reliable supplier of quality tabletop products.
Today, using a blend of rich historical experience and a willingness to
embrace the latest technological advancements, the Churchill brand has solid
global recognition and a strong manufacturing reputation. Our
international presence is ever expanding. To date, Churchill products are used
in hospitality establishments in over 70 countries worldwide, achieved through
a 508 strong global distributor network.
With all its success comes a well established family history too. The
Roper family still hold a significant share of the business, ensuring the
traditional values of the company remain upheld.
The company's presence on the London Stock Exchange in 1994 has proved
the longevity of the Churchill brand and has given it recognition as a
substantial, global organisation.
總而言之，這個品牌已經走向現代化，現在生產的比較是現代餐具用品。我的這個英國Churchill品牌茶壺是早期的茶壺，不過也已經是現代版，所以設計可以用來微波加熱之材質，整體而言仍有質樸的設計，外型是英國Churchill品牌經典茶壺的造型，花色則是綠藤蔓紫色與橘色紅色花朵圖樣。
另一個是BIA Cordon Bleu 品牌茶壺，這是更新的品牌了，創於1952年, B.I.A. Cordon Bleu 是個美國品牌，主要生產各類陶瓷製品，總部位於加州。會買這個BIA Cordon Bleu
品牌茶壺的原因看她的外型圖案就知道了，因為她有著簡單可愛的茶壺圖案，對於我這茶壺癡而言，沒有甚麼比買有茶壺的茶壺更高興的事了。
