yet another pet peeve or point of etiquette
"when is a teapot not a teapot? when it's made for pouring coffee or hot chocolate."
yes i said yes and i'm not just quoting molly bloom!
one of my secret foibles bursts from hiding: i can't stand it when people confuse coffee pots, tea pots, and chocolate pots.
this is why every coffee lover should have a bramah! let me offer visual cues:
it's annoying that many supposed "antique experts" don't know the difference themselves. what makes it important is that chocolate pots are hot items right now; the unscrupulous and/or misinformed will take any old wacky coffee pot, call it a chocolate pot, and double the price on you.
not that many of my regular readers are here today to see this anyway, since i trust you're all in long beach pulling espresso.
know that i weep to be with you. . .anyone who cares is welcome to take pity on me by comforting me with the gift of above chocolate pot!
