Product Description With 900,000 copies sold lifetime, THE COLLECTIBLE TEAPOT & TEA CALENDAR celebrates the timeless tradition of afternoon tea: the companionship, the dainty and delectable treats nibbled between sips of tea, and the beautifully arranged table with an exquisite teapot at the center. The charming and quintessentially British AGA teapot stars in a homey spread with fresh-baked cupcakes. A romantic scene for Valentine’s Day: a 19th-century set with intricate scrolling, alongside roses and raspberry tarts.
