Retro ceramic teapot

One teapot, four ways to set the table

This collection centres on one ceramic teapot model. The cards show its colours, not four teapots with different capacities. White, pale blue, cream yellow and pale green let you compare the same object with your tableware. You can start with a colour you already use or choose a contrast with your cups.

The collection's historical name also mentions mugs. The offer displayed here remains the teapot: no set of cups or mugs is included with this model. Your own drinking vessels may be enough to put together a service. A colourful piece at the centre of the table already sets a direction, even if the cups are not all identical.

How to think about a 500 ml capacity

Half a litre does not correspond to a fixed number of cups. That depends on their capacity and how much you pour. Before choosing, look at the size of your usual cup. A large mug and a small teacup are not filled in the same way; this comparison is more useful than a promise to serve a given number of people.

The 500 ml format can accompany a break on your own or a small shared tea service. If you use large cups and like a second helping, plan to refill it. The ceramic teapot page brings together the variants of this model so you can compare them within the same product category.

Choose between white and pastel colours

White leaves more room for the patterns on a tablecloth or plates. Pale blue can echo a blue detail in your service. With cream yellow, light tableware creates a soft combination; pale green can recall a textile or another table piece. None of these pairings is a rule: you should also like the teapot on a bare table, without special styling.

To compare photos, keep a simple reference point, such as the colour of your cups. Avoid choosing several objects solely because they are described as retro: their shades may be very different. A single repeated colour can be enough to connect a teapot with the tableware you already own.

Complete the service according to your needs

The teapot serves one moment of a meal; the carafe accompanies another. If you also want to serve water, the colourful carafes offer a separate selection in 1,3 L plastic. They are not accessories supplied with the teapot.
