Philadelphia Pink

This is a 6 cup Philadelphia with a basketweave design with a floral band around the bottom. The gold shows a little wear on the top of the handle, but otherwise is in perfect condition. The backstamp is the Circle Hall with the gold stamp showing the number 075GL.

Lipton?

This is the second of the Hall's teapots that we purchased. It was found in a small antique shop in Altus, OK in 2002. It has the round backstamp and is complete with the felt inner lining for the cozy.

Streamline 6 Cup

I'm not sure where we got this teapot. We have had it since 2003. It is a Streamline 6 cup, no cracks or chips but does show some wear on the gold of the teapot handle and lid. It has the gold backmark with the numbers 0330.

2 Cup Teapot

This teapot I have had since 1991. It has the rectangular Hall backstamp with the numbers 2322, but I'm not sure what the design is or when it was produced. The color is a creamy white with a gloss glaze.

Boston 3 Cup Teapot

This is a Boston 3 Cup teapot that was a gift from friends in Bull Shoals, AR at Christmas 2003. It is in good condition physically with no chips, cracks, etc... but the gold is worn badly. It is marked with the gold backstamp with the numbers 010.

Aladdin

We found this 6 cup Aladdin teapot in Bull Shoals, Arkansas in 2003 at a little antique store (junk shop!). It has a small chip in the spout and some of the gold is gone on the side striping and handle, but we love it anyway. This is in the Cadet color with hallmark markings in gold and the numbers 0669.

The Beginning of It All!

This is a Forman Family, Inc. (or Lipton... can't remember which!) teapot that was produced by Hall's China Co. I came across it one day in a Goodwill Store in Texas. I had never seen one, but since teapots have always been a bit of a fetish for me, I couldn't take my eyes off it. It took me an hour to decide whether I wanted to spend the $2.00 for it... can you imagine...grin As we were getting into the car to leave, I found I just could not leave without it, so had to run back in and buy it... And that was the beginning....
