I was so happy after receiving this gorgeous Whittard teapot and mug set from my Mum as a graduation present, that I thought I’d share a few pictures of the set on Tea and Cake.

Most wanted: Whittard’s post box teapot
There aren’t many things that are more quintessentially British than a bright red, Royal Mail post box. Whittard has used this national emblem in a new teapot design, as part of their latest collection of teapots to celebrate the Jubilee year. I love it. I’m sure it would fit well into Teapot Island’s collection too.
