Duchess Teapot

Of all the many teapots and teacups I have brought from England

in my luggage, this is the only one that came home damaged. 

This is a Duchess bone china made in England.

The pattern is "Tranquility" and it has 

"The Chatsford Strainer Tea System" built in. 

The chip on the handle reminds me of where I purchased this teapot in 2008,

and how I brought it home in my carry-on,  

The chip just gives this pretty teapot personality.

The "Chatsford Strainer Tea System" is very convenient

for steeping loose leaf tea and easy to clean-up.
